How are you feeling after all that shovelling??

Do you have issues when you cross your legs? This might be why.

PSA!

It’s the little things…. 😉

The smallest bone in your body is the stapes, located deep inside the middle ear.
It is smaller than a grain of rice, measuring only a few millimeters in length.
Despite its tiny size, the stapes plays a vital role in hearing by transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
It acts like a microscopic lever, amplifying vibrations so they can move the fluid inside the cochlea.
Without the stapes, sound waves would never be converted into the nerve signals your brain understands.

Over 120 muscles protect the spine! Keep them strong.

Work smarter, not harder! 😃

Happy Valentine’s Day!! Hahaha

Actually……..

Yes!!! Same with brushing your hair! And putting a pony tail in with the other hand first, hahahaha

Also, putting your other leg in your pants first, going down the stairs with the other foot first, same with shoes.

Just everything you’ve been doing one sided. Give it a try!

Brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand stimulates neuroplasticity by forcing the brain out of habitual, automatic patterns, requiring it to form new neural connections between hemispheres. This challenging, unfamiliar movement increases brain activity in the opposite hemisphere, enhancing cognitive functions like concentration, creativity, and memory while reducing risk of age-related cognitive decline.

🗂️Key Mechanisms for Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Health:

📑Forcing New Neural Paths: Using your non-dominant hand disrupts 90% of your daily habits, forcing the brain to create new, conscious neural pathways rather than relying on automatic ingrained motor skills.

📑Hemispheric Integration: This action activates both the left and right hemispheres simultaneously, stimulating “cross-talk” between them which can improve overall brain function.

📑Challenging Motor Control: It requires increased brain focus for fine motor control, enhancing cognitive engagement and stimulating the brain’s ability to remodel synapses (neuroplasticity).

📑Improved Cognitive Flexibility: This, along with other non-dominant hand tasks, can improve problem-solving skills and mental flexibility.

Have you hip checked a table?!
Real neat animation here, and a great explanation.

I’ve been watching the Olympics since it the start, and it’s been fun so far.
This one is wild, no?
