Three daily neck exercises, 25 repetitions each, can help improve posture. First, with elbows at 90 degrees, move arms backward, focusing on bringing shoulder blades together. Second, in the same 90-degree position but with hands facing forward, repeat the backward motion to further engage the shoulder blades, targeting the rhomboid muscles. Third, with thumbs up, move arms backward to work the muscles behind the shoulder blades. These exercises strengthen weak muscles, potentially leading to improved posture.

When we sit for long periods of time, the hip flexors in the front get tight and shortened while the glute muscles in the back become weak and lengthened. This tips the pelvis forward into an anterior tilt, throwing off the body's alignment. That shift travels up the chain causing the rounded upper back, weak and tight shoulder blades, and extra tension in the neck. To start the stretch, pull up a chair. Lie down on the floor and elevate one of your legs at 90 degrees. Opposite leg straight out, toes pointed back, hands out to your sides, palms up, and take deep breaths into your stomach. Hold this position for about ten minutes on each side.

If the back of your head can't rest against the wall without looking up, your spine is likely rounding, moving your head forward. This can make your head feel like a 40-pound bowling ball, stressing your spine. A gentle exercise to prevent worsening involves lying on the floor with legs elevated on a chair at 90 degrees and hands out to the sides, palms up. Lying horizontally helps align the spine by using gravity to open it up. Doing this daily can improve posture.

Stop eating three hours before bed. For example, if you go to bed at 10:00 PM, stop eating at 7:00 PM. After this time, consume no more foods or snacks that can be processed as nutrition. You can still take supplements and herbs before bed. The goal is to turn off the digestive system, as digesting food requires energy and creates a thermogenic effect. This process burns calories, which is not ideal when trying to calm the body down for sleep. Digesting food before bed can prevent the body from calming down and achieving deep sleep.

You can take supplements and herbs before bed. The goal is to turn off the digestive system. Eating wakes up energy to break down food, creating a thermogenic effect where the body uses energy and burns calories. This is not ideal before bed because you want to calm the body down, not work on digestion, to achieve deep sleep.

Sitting is the worst posture, pulling stabilizing muscles forward and causing them to shorten and tighten. To add rotation to the hips, cross one leg over the other, try to get the knee and the ankle level, lean forward, taking three deep breaths, repeating on both sides. Get up every twenty to thirty minutes to circulate energy and take pressure off discs. Open the front of the hips to help stabilize posture by pulling one leg back as far as possible while looking up, taking three deep breaths, repeating on both sides. Loosen hamstring muscles, which pull on the pelvis and tighten the lower back, by putting one leg up on a chair and bending forward, taking deep breaths three times on each side.

Exercise, especially high intensity interval training, can boost sleep. Sleeping in complete darkness is also important. Sunlight, particularly morning light, helps reset the body's circadian rhythm via the pineal gland. Dr. Neil Nedley found that 80% of his depressed patients had disrupted circadian rhythms. Going to bed early is necessary to wake up for morning exercise and sunlight. Practicing thankfulness, even when unable to sleep, can be beneficial. A diet high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats supports sleep. A hot shower or bath with Epsom salts and/or lavender before bed can also improve sleep.

The glymphatic system, the brain's waste removal system, is most active during sleep. Side sleeping enhances this process by up to 25% compared to other positions. This system removes toxic proteins that can lead to neurodegeneration. Proper sleep position can improve memory consolidation by 20% and reduce brain inflammation. It helps clear proteins linked to Alzheimer's and may speed recovery from concussion. Sleeping on your right side with your head slightly elevated is recommended. Use a cervical pillow to maintain proper spine alignment and avoid stomach sleeping which restricts blood flow to the brain.

Proper ergonomic posture is important for preventing back and neck pain. When seated, both feet should be flat on the floor, with knees at the same height or slightly higher than the hips. Buttocks should be against the back of the chair to avoid arching the back. Maintain a neutral, erect shoulder and head posture. When looking at a computer screen, eyes should align with the top third of the screen. To avoid prolonged static posture, stand, stretch, and walk around for a minute or two every half hour, or five to ten minutes every hour.

Dealing with neck compression and poor posture can affect the vagus nerve and lymphatic drainage, leading to stress, agitation, and puffiness. Slouching can cause rounded shoulders and a weak upper back. To improve posture, stand with your back to a wall, feet six inches away and shoulder-width apart. Press shoulders, upper back, and lower back against the wall. Tuck your chin to your chest, raise your arms in a W shape (elbows at 90 degrees), and slowly raise your arms overhead while keeping your arms and back pressed against the wall. Then, slowly lower them back to the starting position. This exercise opens the chest and improves neck, mid-back, and core alignment, which may improve vagus nerve flow, the rest and digest nervous system, and lymphatic drainage.

New research indicates that lying on the floor, or "floor time," can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. Lying on the floor can downregulate your nervous system. To do this, sit on the floor with your legs at a 90-degree angle and lie on your back. Taking deep breaths can help with anxiety. Stay in this position for 30 seconds to a minute, or however long feels comfortable. A firm floor and the 90-degree angle of the legs help decompress the spine. This method is simple, effective, and feels good.

DO THIS EVERYDAY To Heal Your Body & Reduce INFLAMMATION! | Mike Wasilisin
Guests: Mike Wasilisin
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Mike Wasilisin discusses his journey with heart arrhythmia, triggered by past steroid use and Ritalin, leading him to avoid alcohol. He emphasizes the importance of body alignment and movement for pain relief, which motivated him to create MoveU. He experiments with kratom for pain relief, viewing it as a potential alternative to opioids, which he criticizes for their ineffectiveness and addiction potential. Wasilisin highlights the need for controlled movement and body awareness, arguing that many chronic pain issues stem from poor body mechanics rather than isolated injuries. He shares insights on scoliosis, explaining structural versus functional types, and discusses his wife's experience with yoga and body awareness. Wasilisin believes that understanding one's body structure is crucial for effective movement and pain management. He introduces the motto "Fix Yo' Shit," emphasizing that chronic pain is often lifestyle-related and preventable. Wasilisin outlines five essential movements for injury prevention: core bracing, shoulder blade scooping, head pivoting, hip hinging, and ground force. He stresses the importance of strengthening glutes and proper deadlift technique, noting that many injuries arise from improper mechanics rather than the exercises themselves. He also addresses gender differences in injury patterns, suggesting women may experience more joint pain due to anatomical differences. Finally, he offers advice on sleeping positions to alleviate back pain, recommending specific pillow arrangements for stomach and back sleepers. Wasilisin concludes by advocating for a proactive approach to body alignment and movement to enhance overall health and prevent injuries.
