Your desk job is killing your back.

Here's how to stop it:

16 million adults experience chronic back pain.

It's a leading cause of career disability, and it can make daily activities unbearable.

As careers continue to encourage prolonged sitting, our backs will continue to pay the price.

Here's how you can "deskproof" your back:
1. Thoracic Extension

The thoracic spine is the region between your upper and middle back.

It is responsible for 80% of trunk rotation movements.

Poor thoracic health is a leading cause of mobility restrictions.

This stretch reduces pain and tension and improves mobility.
2. Hip Flexor Stretch

When you sit all day, your hip flexors become weak.

This can lead to problems with posture and stability, and can even lead to more serious hip injuries later in life.

This stretch reverses the negative effects of sitting on your hips.
3. Glute Bridges

The glutes are a key muscle group that extends your hips and takes the pressure off your lower back.

The glute bridge is a great exercise for strengthening your glutes and increasing your core strength and overall stability.
4. Seated Twists

This simple movement stretches your neck, chest, and shoulders, as well as your upper and lower back.

If you do these regularly, you’ll strengthen your core, relieve back pain, and improve your overall mobility.
Run through these 4 exercises 2x a week, and you’ll start noticing less back pain in no time!

Remember, these are meant to improve flexibility and reduce pain. Start slow and build up as you can.

Here’s a great place to start:
An office hack for minimizing back pain:

Use a standing desk.

Many allow you to swap between sitting and standing at the press of a button.

This encourages you to spend time on your feet instead of slouched down in a chair.

It's a small investment with a big return.
Start now!

You'll never regret taking care of your body.

Invest time in your health now so that you can enjoy the life you’re working so hard to build for yourself.

कुंडली में 12 भाव होते हैं। कैसे ज्योतिष द्वारा रोग के आंकलन करते समय कुंडली के विभिन्न भावों से गणना करते हैं आज इस पर चर्चा करेंगे।
कुण्डली को कालपुरुष की संज्ञा देकर इसमें शरीर के अंगों को स्थापित कर उनसे रोग, रोगेश, रोग को बढ़ाने घटाने वाले ग्रह


रोग की स्थिति में उत्प्रेरक का कार्य करने वाले ग्रह, आयुर्वेदिक/ऐलोपैथी/होमियोपैथी में से कौन कारगर होगा इसका आँकलन, रक्त विकार, रक्त और आपरेशन की स्थिति, कौन सा आंतरिक या बाहरी अंग प्रभावित होगा इत्यादि गणना करने में कुंडली का प्रयोग किया जाता है।


मेडिकल ज्योतिष में आज के समय में Dr. K. S. Charak का नाम निर्विवाद रूप से प्रथम स्थान रखता है। उनकी लिखी कई पुस्तकें आज इस क्षेत्र में नए ज्योतिषों का मार्गदर्शन कर रही हैं।
प्रथम भाव -
इस भाव से हम व्यक्ति की रोगप्रतिरोधक क्षमता, सिर, मष्तिस्क का विचार करते हैं।


द्वितीय भाव-
दाहिना नेत्र, मुख, वाणी, नाक, गर्दन व गले के ऊपरी भाग का विचार होता है।
तृतीय भाव-
अस्थि, गला,कान, हाथ, कंधे व छाती के आंतरिक अंगों का शुरुआती भाग इत्यादि।

चतुर्थ भाव- छाती व इसके आंतरिक अंग, जातक की मानसिक स्थिति/प्रकृति, स्तन आदि की गणना की जाती है


पंचम भाव-
जातक की बुद्धि व उसकी तीव्रता,पीठ, पसलियां,पेट, हृदय की स्थिति आंकलन में प्रयोग होता है।

षष्ठ भाव-
रोग भाव कहा जाता है। कुंडली मे इसके तत्कालिक भाव स्वामी, कालपुरुष कुंडली के स्वामी, दृष्टि संबंध, रोगेश की स्थिति, रोगेश के नक्षत्र औऱ रोगेश व भाव की डिग्री इत्यादि।
This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
