Preeclampsia is a disorder that only happens in pregnant women - it occurs after 20 weeks'

gestation, and in some cases develops up to 6 weeks after delivery.

Preeclampsia causes new-onset hypertension and proteinuria - protein in the urine, which

is a marker of kidney damage - and can also cause damage to other organs like the brain

and liver.

There can be a wide range of symptoms - for some women there may be no symptoms or only

mild ones, whereas for others, it can turn into a life-threatening illness.

If a woman with preeclampsia develops seizures, she is said to have eclampsia.

Preeclampsia tends to occur more often during a first pregnancy, in pregnancies with multiple

gestations, or in mothers 35 years or older.

Other risk factors include having hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of

preeclampsia.

Okay but why do these changes happen in preeclampsia and eclampsia?

Well, the exact cause is unclear, a key pathophysiologic feature though is the development of an abnormal

placenta.

Normally, during pregnancy, the spiral arteries dilate to 5-10 times their normal size and

develop into large uteroplacental arteries capable of delivering large quantities of

blood to the developing fetus.

In preeclampsia, these uteroplacental arteries become fibrous causing them to narrow, which

means less blood gets to the placenta.

A poorly perfused placenta can lead to intrauterine growth restriction and even fetal death in

severe cases.

At this point, the hypoperfused placenta starts releasing pro-inflammatory proteins.

These thenn get intol the mother's circulation and cause the endothelial cells that line

her blood vessels to become dysfunctional.

Endothelial cell dysfunction causes vasoconstriction - narrowing of the blood vessels - and also

affects the kidneys in a way that makes them retain more salt, both of which result in

hypertension.

When diagnosing preeclampsia, hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of

140 mmHg or greater or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or greater.

In severe preeclampsia, systolic blood pressure can be 160 mmHg or greater and diastolic blood

pressure can be 110 mmHg or greater.

These extreme blood pressures can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke or placental abruption,

in which the placenta detaches prematurely from the uterine wall.

There can also be local areas of vasospasm - which means that less blood might reach

certain parts of the body.

For example, reduced blood flow to the kidneys, which are particularly susceptible, can cause

glomerular damage leading to oliguria - very little urine - and proteinuria . Normally,

the glomeruli of the kidneys do a good job of preventing protein from spilling into the

urine, so proteinuria can be a sign of glomerular damage and is a classic sign of preeclampsia.

Reduced blood flow to the retina can cause blurred vision, the sensation of seeing flashing

lights, and the development of a scotoma.

A scotoma is when a small part of the visual field has slightly worse visual acuity - a

bit like having a blurry spot on an otherwise normal computer monitor.

Reduced blood flow to the liver can cause severe liver injury and swelling, which can

cause an elevation in liver enzymes and stretches out the capsule around the liver.

Stretching of the liver capsule typically causes right upper quadrant pain, or epigastric

pain, which is one of the cardinal symptoms of severe preeclampsia.

Endothelial injury also leads to the formation of lots of tiny thrombi in the microvasculature,

a process that uses up massive amounts of platelets.

Having all of these tiny blood clots in the blood is a bit like having dozens of boulders

in the middle of a fast moving river.

It becomes treacherous for red blood cells to navigate through, and before long, they

slam up against a clot and get destroyed - a process called hemolysis.

Together these make up HELLP syndrome (H = hemolysis, EL = elevated liver enzymes, LP = low platelets).

HELLP syndrome develops in about 10 to 20% of women with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia.

Finally, endothelial injury increases vascular permeability, allowing water to slip out of

blood vessels between neighboring endothelial cells and get into the tissues.

Because there's also a loss of protein from the blood due to the proteinuria, even more

fluid moves from the blood vessels into the tissues.

This causes generalized edema which is often seen in the legs, face and hands; pulmonary

edema which can cause cough and shortness of breath; and cerebral edema which can cause

headache, confusion, and seizures.

Seizures define the onset of eclampsia.

Because all of the problems of preeclampsia and eclampsia stem from placental dysfunction,

the ultimate treatment is delivery of the fetus and placenta.

The decision to induce delivery depends heavily on the gestational age of the fetus as well

as the severity of the disease and how it's affecting both maternal and fetal health.

If the onset of symptoms comes after delivery, then the goal is to manage the symptoms which

slowly subside on their own.

Additional measures are aimed at managing any end-organ damage by offering supplemental

oxygen, medication to manage seizures, and other complications like stroke or placental

abruption.

As a quick recap, preeclampsia is a disorder that occurs after 20 weeks' gestation and

up to 6 weeks following delivery.

It is defined by a new onset of hypertension and proteinuria but can affect many organs,

particularly the kidneys, eyes, liver, and brain.

Eclampsia is diagnosed when a patient with preeclampsia develops seizures.

Pike Fight 2016 - Episode 2 - Duration: 29:45.

Welcome back to Pike Fight.

This is the competition where Söder Sportfiske challenges other legendary brands,

in a pike competition.

We are still in Trosa Skärgård and this will be the second half of the first competition day.

Today, the first points will be distributed.

It's a ten kilo pike!

Last week we got an impressing start from two of the teams while the two other struggled.

The only team with a full paper with five fish is Team Storm

Who are also in the lead at the moment.

At a solid second place, Team Westin.

Who ended up with a 87 cm pike in the last couple of casts of the first half of the day.

Just before reporting in.

Just a few centimeters behind we've got Söder Sportfiske and ABU Garcia.

Both teams invested a good chunk of time into transportation...

but now they've got stuff going and are looking really hot.

If you missed the first episode, here's a quick walk through of the rules.

Four teams

Three days

Three locations

Each team's five longest pike per day will transform into points.

BIG FIVE: Each team's five longest pike during the whole competition.

This is Pike Fight 2016 - Battle of the Giants.

Let's do this!

Regarding our own tactic, we've not cleared this hot area just yet.

The wind calmed down a bit now so we'll head out a bit to find some good wind.

Keep going like we've done.

For another one or two hours.

Then we'll see...

If we keep going we'll hopefully have another couple of 80-90 fish.

If so, we can head further out and look for bigger fish.

I think they're fishing exposed spots with clear water.

There you'll catch a lot of fish up to 80 centimeters.

So, they're in the lead now.

Yeah, they are. And they probably have a lot of fish too.

But they'll get in trouble if...

some other teams start to find big fish.

We'll just keep doing our thing

There are always big pike around with these surroundings.

This is the decider, of course we stay put here.

We'll keep fishing in the mud. Doesn't matter.

We need one more fish to get up to five, and then we need to get rid of that 65 cm fish.

Our plan is to stick to this area for a while.

At least a couple of hours.

Then...

Then contemplate how we should do.

I've got a few other spots but they are quite far away.

Alright, now we know the plans of all teams.

Let's start with team Storm!

Maybe all the other teams have been trying...

to catch these really big fish.

Their aim is to get around 470-480 cm total.

And when they realize that plan isn't working, they just go in the shallows and bag five quick smaller fish.

Yeah, they probably know exactly what they are doing.

Small one again...

That's the risk here...

super small fish.

No, only small ones...

I got so much slack line in the strike¨.

Bass style fishing, had to reel in 7 meters and then set the hook.

Energetic fish!

The water is too clear here.

Tons of pike but they are all too small. Barely good fish.

We're heading back to the two big ones we missed earlier.

Try to see if there are any more bigger fish there.

They hang around there so...

It's a matter of if one hour fishing is enough.

Let's go there and try to feel them in.

Usually they recover from a strike quite fast and we'll head back and try to get them in the boat this time.

Maybe we'll try to change up the baits,

We might even anchor up in the middle of the bay.

Something like that.

Storm keeps catching fish, but are still missing the bigger ones.

The challenge of the afternoon will clearly be to get in contact with those big pike.

Håkan and Tobbe lately got into some active fish.

And as they said before, their tactic is "Go big or go home"

They rather end up last place than second.

Sneaky cast there.

Holy crap, lots of baitfish here.

That was a pike chasing them.

Might be perch too.

You'll get him now!

You do a cast there too.

That was atleast a grown up fish.

You never know.

You think it was one or two fish?

Two...

That was a nice fish!

On the McHybrid!

How big was it? Couldn't really see it.

Big one, 90 cm plus.

You saw him go at it in the surface?

Could only see his big jaws open.

He missed the bait didn't he?

Exactly.

He hit the bait but missed the hooks.

Too unlucky now...

Would've been a really nice catch now.

Finally he fell for it.

He was the one.

Maybe six kilos?

So big? Really?

Damn it...

Didn't you see him turning behind the bait?

Just barely, no clear sight.

Söder Sportfiske, who also decided to stay put just filled their paper with a fifth fish.

Since they have a nice fish of 92 centimeters they feel comfortable in todays competition plus...

a really nice fish for their Big Five score.

I've been certain we'd get five fish and now we've got them.

We'll stay put here and hope for some bigger fish soon.

I think there's a big flatbed of weed in the end of this bay,

Probably super hard to fish in but this is where we'll find them.

Tons of weed.

You're calling me a whimp?

Whimp? Really?

In war all means are allowed.

With these conditions even more.

You can do whatever as long as you catch fish.

"Do whatever as long as you catch fish"

You never know...

Might be an upgrade.

3 centimeters more. Many teams would like that today.

Right now, all boats are experiencing slow fishing.

Söder Sportfiske thou, just upped their total with a couple of centimeters,

super important for the competition.

Never forget, three centimters might mean the world in the end of the day.

This is over 80!

Bigger head?

Or is he just fat?

Important fish for Söder Sportfiske.

Slowly but surely taking centimeters back from team Storm.

Right now on second place with only a 12 centimeter difference from Storm,

who havn't caught anything since lunch.

Team Westin also brings a full paper and is now seen releasing their fifth good fish of the day.

Five good fish!

Not the biggest fish, but a fish anyways.

67 centimeters, let's trade him up immidately.

If we see no change in 30 minutes,

our plan is...

We know this spot hold big fish.

We've had really cautious bites, two hooked in the belly. Not like it should be here.

They're just checking the baits out.

Quick nibble on the bait and then turn around.

We're going with plan B and a 20 minute transport.

More wine.

To the people.

Mathias takes all his chances to get some body contact.

No, it's always Mikko who puts himself in front of me thinking...

"Now he's gotta get up close around me"

It's love.

Team spirit is high in team Storm.

Competition in all it's glory, but everyone needs some love from time to time.

Unfortunately, that's not givning any extra points.

You got one?

Better?

Havn't seen it yet.

Our total is not enough.

Not enough.

All teams will be at around 400 centimeters by the end of the day.

Top teams will be at around...

450 or above.

Left to fish.

Storm says their lead is in danger

and they struggle finding those bigger fish.

We've had a rough afternoon.

Håkan started off with missing a nice fish.

Now it's been really calm for a while.

But...

Neither me nor Håkan are easily stressed people.

So we decided to head back to the spots we belive hold nice fish.

And now we've found the baits of the day. Smaller lures works best for us.

So we've been catching on the small McPike for example.

Iv'e had pretty much all my contacts on this bait today.

Ten grams head,

with a stinger,

and a spike in the belly.

And I also mounted a rattle chamber in the tail.

Cast it out...

Retrieve it slowly just above the weed.

The pike decide wether this tactic is working or not. If they bite they do.

All that matters is to have a decent weight on the head and keep the right tempo.

Then you just wait them out.

I knew it!

There's always nice fish on this edge here.

Is not that big but...

It's a good fish.

It's a pike at least!

I thought it was a lot bigger.

It looked a lot bigger in the water.

Super important fish for team ABU.

A couple of hours of really slow fishing is now paying off.

ABU seems to have found a spot where the pike are active and hunts all that moves.

I think we can grind this place for a while.

Was it a pike?

Must've been.

What a splash!

Keep rod rod tight!

Think i'm stuck in a fence...

He's in the fence...

This reel is casting so far, i'm not used to that.

I've been casting five meters far all day.

That's why you shouldn't have this good reels.

You'll only end up casting too far.

No need for strong casts.

I think this is a bream.

I won't take any chances.

It's a pike!

It was in here hunting for bleak!

Good fish!

I believe.

On the Mc Hybrid!

Finally we've got five.

Maybe the smallest bait did the trick!

Small baits have been far successive.

Tobbe and Håkan are hot right now. Full paper and they are getting closer the other teams.

One fish might change it all.

Söder Sportfiske also improved their score, from 381 cm to 388.

Now they're only trailing the lead by five centimeters.

I'm so offhand all the time. Not even thinking...

Care that post!

I've got it!

Håkan just asked me, "You really believe in that one?"

He said, "That is by far the worst color."

"I've had enough just looking at it!"

I told him I don't care about colors.

I'm just casting.

Well done man!

A seventy-niner and ABU are getting even closer.

Now, they are head to heel with the other teams.

It's a nice fish.

Maybe.

Good strike on this one.

I don't think it's over the other.

Maybe

Can you flip that over?

It's not a giant for team Westin,

but they still improve their total by 4 centimeters.

Now we've only got two hours left of the first day.

and at the moment there are very small differences between the teams.

Söder Sportfiske is only trailing by five centimeters behind the leaders, Storm.

Fish?

Is it better!?

Nah

Nice.

You think it's an improvement?

We'll 71 is our smallest.

Yeah it might then. We'll use the net.

Without knowing it, Söder Sportfiske just tied the leader.

If two teams end up on the same number at days end, the longest pike will be the decider.

Moreover, Henke just got tipped off by a friend about a hot spot further away.

They were far in a big bay, got one at 6,5 kilos and then scare another bigger one.

It's a wild card...

We'll get 40 minutes fishing time if we go now.

One of those fish and we'll be...

But we'll loose a lot of fishing time. If we stay here we'll get one and a half hours.

Thinking about a big move.

Thinking about trading some fishing time for travel time and do a long spot switch.

We would place it all on one bet. And try to get one big fish for the Big Five.

Well be there half past...

30 minutes fishing.

Wanna do it?

Of course we should.

Let's do it!

Good!

Let's go now then.

It's a make it or break it move.

One fish...

We've got to win this now.

We've got one and a half hour fising time left, and it will take us one hour to get back.

We'll get 30 minutes fishing there.

But, it's hopefully worth it.

We'll do it!

No one remembers a whimp.

We are getting close now.

Team Söder Sportfiske chooses to make a move,

and team Storm who havn't improved score since lunch,

heads further out in the archipelago for bigger fish,.

This was easy to get trough.

No wind at all in here!

Better fish!

You said you would pick up the net?

Maybe big enough to improve.

It's stuck in some weed.

Let him go.

I'll be here.

Almost fell over.

Still not a 85 or 90 fish.

No but it's still an improvement of the score, Mr Pessimist.

Stop it now!

You just caught a big one, better than our smallest.

I'm not dead on sure it is...

Mikko lands a fish, and if its over 76 centimeters, they will take over the lead from Söder Sportfiske.

The question still stands, is the fish enought?

I still believe it's enough.

Please be over 76.

Then all of them are 80-85 centimeters, all the fish we've seen here.

Storm now totals at 397 centimeters and puts enourmous pressure on the rest of the teams.

I mean, it's still imoportant.

When you get into this phase where...

There it is.

Now they like that curly tail.

Get the motor up!

Net it!

Net it!

He's under the motor.

He's coming on this side!

He got loose.

90? Is it really 90?

Don't let him under there again.

Very nice!

85 centimeters, at least!

This is the one!

Nice pike once again. RIP Rigger with a RIP Curly.

Letting this one go back now, really nice girth.

Storm keeps up the good work and increases their score with 4 centimeters.

Söder Sportfiske just arrived at the hot spot they heard about.

There's always a lot of baitfish here. And now the sun is setting which gives the pike some good light to hunt in.

Only 20 minutes left, what will happen?

Will Söder Sportfiske succeed with their last hope?

How are ABU doing, the team that were going strong last we saw them,

and how about team Westin, who only need one fish at 82 centimeters to take back the second place,

or 89 centimeters to win.

What wind did we have yesterday? South?

Southwest?

Missed one. Look at that whirl.

This day is...

Look at it.

God damn it.

This can't be true.

Was it big?

*Swearing in danish

Today, cant describe it...

*Swearing in danish

It was nice, really nice.

80 or 90 centimeters.

Nice fish.

It never took the bait, just followed.

Oops, small one.

Yeah, small one.

We'd like to have it's grandmother.

Exactly.

That's how you do it.

Even thou Westin have had contact with fish all day, they didn't succeed in increasing their total.

Team Storm is still on their previous result of 401 centimeters.

We have great fishing now, fish is active when it gets darker and with one more hour...

we'd have a lot better result.

During Mathias fight with this fish we saw two more bigger ones swimming behind it.

But now it's over. For all of us.

We did our best.

I'm happy with our feat, and we'll see how far it will take us.

No there's nothing left but reporting in. Getting exited!

Team Storm is in the lead when we head in to the last report of the day. We'll see how far it will take them.

I sincerely hope we beat them. We've got 379 and I don't wanna see anything else than that we beat them.

Damn!

With 393 centimeters, Söder Sportfiske doesn't beat team Storm,

but they end up ahead of Team Westin and bags a second place.

We beat them!

That is so nice!

Now we've only got team ABU left to beat.

This is where we see them sending in 113, 111 centimeters etc.

Now we'll see, our neighboring team. ABU Garcia.

Tobbe and Håkan.

Question is, did they leave or stay put over there?

With 373 centimeters team ABU end up on a last place.

Which means, the winners of the first day of Pike Fight 2016 is...

Team Storm!

We won one day at least.

Sooo nice!

The points distributed are as follows:

Winners, team Storm, four points.

followed by team Söder Sportfiske, three points.

Team Westin two points and ABU Garcia one point.

On next weeks episode we are fishing on Mälaren and can already guarantee that Pike Fight will deliver big fish.

Today, out on Mälaren, we are super psyked.

Finally we're here.

This can't be true!

That was a big one, real heavy fish.

We'll see you next week. Same time, same channel.

Don't forget to subscribe.

That was a nice one!

It that happends again, I'll break my rod,

jump over board,

swim ashore and scream.

The Washington Post Is Pushing For A New Cold War - Duration: 4:08.

Over the New Year's weekend, The Washington Post printed a story claiming that Russia

had hacked into an electrical grid in the state of Vermont.

As it turns out, that story was completely not true.

What had happened was that the Department of Homeland Security sent out a notice to

utilities across the country letting them know about a specific malware code that had

been linked to hackers in Russia.

Now, this utility in Vermont, did find that malware code on one computer that was not

actually hooked to the electrical grid and it is a malware code that anyone could find

on the internet so it's impossible to say that it was directly related to any kind of

Russian hacking.

Nonetheless, The Washington Post ran that article claiming that Russia hacked a US electrical

grid, a story, again, that is completely false.

This is not the first time that The Washington Post in recent weeks and months has printed

something completely false trying to drum up support for some kind of US aggression

against Russia.

Furthermore, it's not just Russia that they're going after now.

It's RT America.

RT Network.

Specifically Ed Schultz, host on RT, and here's what The Washington Post is doing.

They're trying to paint RT as some sort of propaganda tool for the kremlin but they're

linking RT and RT America as one in the same, which is actually not the case.

They are two separate entities.

If you think about it, this is exactly what The Washington Post and other US media outlets

and republicans in the United States did during the war on terror to Al Jazeera.

During the Bush years, we were told by republicans and media outlets including The Washington

Post in an article from 2008, that Al Jazeera was nothing more than a tool of propaganda

for Al-Qaeda.

Again, nothing could be further from the truth and the fact is that the Washington post was

clearly just angry that Al Jazeera was able to report real news without having to go through

corporate sponsors.

The Washington Post has lost almost all of their credibility long before these Russia

stories even came out.

Another big problem that we have right now is the absurd number of media outlets, including

some progressive media outlets are claiming that Russia hacked the US election.

That is not a true statement.

When we're talking about matters of foreign policy, specifically at a time when the US

is retaliating against Russia, we can not use that kind of language.

Nobody from Russia hacked the US election.

The democratic national committee was hacked.

That is not an election.

There is no link between any hackers and vote tallies, vote totals throughout this country

from electronic voting machines.

That didn't happen.

Words matter right now, folks.

A single word is the difference between a fake news story and legitimate reporting.

The Washington Post doesn't quite understand that anymore.

Now, there was a time in the United States when The Washington Post was one of the most

revered media outlets in this country but that was decades ago and since then, that

paper has fallen into almost complete obscurity because they're not waiting to check their

sources.

They're not worried about getting things right.

They're just worried about getting the story out there first and as we saw this past weekend

with this Russian electrical grid hacking, being first isn't always a good thing.

Khloe Kardashian's New 'Revenge Body' Show Gets People in Shape - Duration: 1:03.

Khloe Kardashian is ready for people to bounce back, better and healthier than ever.

The reality TV star is ready to debut her new show, Revenge Body, and is telling E!

News all about her latest television venture.

Basically, she's getting contestants in their best physical and mental shape as a

form of revenge…

She tells E!, "Revenge Body is a show about taking people that not so much are seeking

revenge in a harmful, malicious way, but revenge in the best way possible, which is a good

body."

Khloe knows a thing or two about physical self-improvement, and has made personal strides

towards getting herself in her best shape.

She tells E!, "So people that have gone through really traumatic experiences in life,

not all of them are breakups, some of them have lost a parent or something that's been

really traumatic which has caused them to gain a lot of weight and they don't really

know how to get control over their life again.

So whatever that circumstance is I want them to get revenge on that incident."

The show premieres on Jan. 12, but more importantly, when's Rob going to be on it?

Tips and Exercises to Restore Posture with Dr. Billy DeMoss - Duration: 8:19.

Dr. Axe: Hey, guys, Dr. Josh Axe here with Dr. Billy DeMoss. We're excited to be here

with you today. We're going to be talking about posture. Now, I know that there are

certain health phrases and things, Dr. Billy, that tend to be sexy. People like to hear

about the newest superfood or the latest supplement, or the most cutting edge natural treatment.

But here's the deal. Posture is a big deal when it comes to your health, and most of

you watching here today, you're slumped over. You're slouched over at a desk all day or

you're carrying around kids or you're posture is not good. You may not realize that poor

posture has actually been linked to things like pelvic organ prolapse and heart disease

and high blood pressure and a number of other issues.

So I brought in the expert, Dr. Billy DeMoss, who is a doctor of chiropractic. He practices

in southern California. He's going talk to us today about really how posture affects

your body and some tips and exercises you can do to help naturally restore proper posture

to your body. Dr. Billy? Hey, thanks for being here with us today.

Dr. Billy: So posture isn't one of those sexy things?

Dr. Axe: Well, it might be for some people. Yeah, maybe it is sexy.

Dr. Billy: I think it is. I mean, obviously, if you look at people with poor posture, they're

not going to be as vibrant. Dr. Axe: That's true. That's true.

Dr. Billy: I think it's more sexy than bone broth, but that's my just own opinion. I think

how people look is super important, I mean, especially in society today, and we are in

a society where it's epidemic where people are sitting all day at a computer or looking

at their phone all day. You see it when we take care of people in the practice. There

are studies out now that even shows that the further forward a person's head goes and the

further forward their posture goes, what it does, as the study shows, it increases pain

and disability as people get older.

But if you want to extrapolate that even further it really ultimately will shorten a person's

life. Yeah, it may contribute, like you said, to heart disease. But what it does is it pushes

a person out of a normal state into more of a sympathetic fight or flight. There's just

things that can happen when a person's in fight or flight. Obviously, one of the things

is fight disease, and it's going to promote more of an environment where people are going

to be more susceptible to heart disease, cancer, and a myriad of other diseases.

So the objective with normalizing posture is to get that tension off the spinal cord,

get them out of sympathetic into parasympathetic, where the body gets the chance to rest, digest,

increase immune function. But there's also studies that show the further forward a person's

spine goes, the more stress, not only our spinal cord, but stress and tension on the

vertebrae themselves and the disc, which causes those to prematurely wear out and create osteoarthritis

and degenerative changes. Again, as your spine degenerates, so does your nervous system and

then so does your life. Dr. Axe: So one are the things people may

not realize is when we are looking at, let's say, just your posture from the front, it

should be straight up and down. If it gets to be too much of a curve, that's most often

called scoliosis. We know from the side, you're supposed to have two curves, lordosis or curve

in your low back. There's curve in your neck.

Dr. Billy, one of the things I'll tell you, and I guarantee this probably drives you just

as crazy as it drives me, is when I used to have kids in my clinic on their Game Boys,

I don't think they're called Game Boys anymore. Dr. Billy: I don't know what they're called,

too. Dr. Axe: Phones, too, and they're like this

literally for hours and hours on end. So that's pulling on that spinal cord. It's taking out

that natural curve in the neck, and I can even see that contributing to learning disorders.

We're talking about ADHD. Dr. Billy: Of course.

Dr. Axe: I mean, a big thing. Dr. Billy: Yeah. I mean, it's so funny, say,

because I flew home from a seminar I did in Atlanta, and there was a kid on the plane.

He was like this for five hours, and I'm just thinking to myself, there's going be an . . . there

already is an epidemic. That epidemic is going to get bigger. What people don't realize is

that people do that eight hours a day at a computer, and the objective is we just got

to teach people, if you're going do this, you need to do some extension work.

So that's why I recommend people maybe just hang their head off the edge of the bed, use

a cervical pillow. We recommend people use Dennerolls, not dinner rolls, but Dennerolls,

are just appliances we use to help promote putting that curve back in.

But the reality is just getting people cognizant of the fact that you're supposed to have that

cervical curve in your neck. Again, I'm a surfer, so one of the things when I have to

paddle, I can't paddle with my neck inflexion. I have to paddle with an extension. So I've

been blessed by a sport that promotes my cervical curve, and that's why I have a beautiful cervical

curve. If you look at my x-ray, I have zero degeneration to my neck because of the fact

that I've nurtured that curve through adjustments, exercises, surfing.

To me, it allows me to function at a higher level. I mean, I'm 58 years old, and I have

tons of energy. I never get sick, and I attribute it to the fact, of course, I eat right and

I've got a Vitamix just like you do. I pretty much eat impeccably. I exercise every day.

I don't watch any TV. I get great rest.

The other thing is when you've got a good curve in your neck, you're going to be able

to get out of sympathetic, and you're going to be able to sleep better. Like you said,

things like ADHD. I mean, kids' capacity to focus is going to be directly linked back

that you've got a good cervical curve. There's not stress on the nervous system pushing you

into sympathetic, and just super important that people know these simple concepts.

Dr. Axe: Yeah, absolutely. So if you're watching right now, and again, if you're one of those

people, you're sitting at a desk all day or you're driving. You're travelling on an airplane

or you've got a child at home, and you know what we're talking about. They're like this

all day long, really starting to incorporate some of these things Dr. Billy is talking

about. Again, get these cervical neck rolls, these things that are going to support your

neck. Really work on it even when you're walking. Think about keeping those shoulder blades

together, sort of keeping those back on a regular basis.

When you're laying around, rather than laying on the couch slouched over like this, get

up for a bit. Maybe lay on your stomach, and do some of these exercises Dr. Billy is talking

about. I notice this in the gym, too. I love going and working out, and what guys love

to do is they love to go in there, and they're just like all pecs and all biceps.

Dr. Billy: Right. It's all flexion. Dr. Axe: Hey, let's work on that, really work

on that back, work on your hamstrings or glutes, work on that what they call the posterior

chain when you're going to the gym because those are other things, too. You've got to

balance those things out. All of these things can help posture, and one of the biggest things

that can help posture is getting chiropractic care.

A lot of chiropractors do a great blend as well of chiropractic adjustments and recommending

therapeutic exercises to help restore proper posture. We know there's groups like CLEAR

Institute, great people like CBP and [inaudible 00:07:24] Harrison and Pettibon. There's other

groups out there that do a good job of really teaching you how to do that.

So again, go see your local chiropractor. Start performing some of these exercises.

We know it's going make a big difference in your life. Check out Dr. Billy's website and

his natural health movement. He puts on an incredible conference, one that I'm speaking

at, called Cal Jam. So just Google that online, Cal Jam, Dr. Billy DeMoss. He's got some great

information on there. He's got some great past speakers if you want to check out. Or

check out his next up and coming event. Dr. Billy, hey, thanks for this great training

on the importance of posture. Dr. Billy: Thank you.  

Dr. Axe: It's critical to health. Hey, thanks guys for watching.
