141. My Inactive Lifestyle? Plus, Wellness + Tech: What’s Ahead
Wellness While Walking
Are You a Digital Addict?
We're suffering at the hands of our newly very digital lives, and no one's coming to save us. Parents in china were complaining that their kids were addicted to on line gaming. There are pushes to make tec companies consult with wellness experts or comply with certain regulations. One cool new effort, according to the well ness trend report, is to push to evaluate digital contect using something like a food label. We've got to start building some awareness of our habits and potentially developing some sort of plan to fight back.
Yep, we dig into why (and how often) my wearable technology is telling me to stretch my legs, and what I plan to do about it. And then we talk about wellness and tech a bit more, as tech companies come under fire for their negative impact on our wellbeing. Finally, a nudge to be aware, lest we fall into the same pattern over and over.
