“Bulletproof” Your Knees With This Routine

Knees are the most injury-prone joint in sports (41% of injuries), due to their structural instability compared to the hip (surrounded by strong muscles) and ankle (supported by bones), while also bearing full body weight.

For the same reasons, they can become quite a liability as we get older. But, we can improve our odds a lot:

Safe, effective pain relief—without the side effects

According to the CDC, half of the 51 million Americans living with chronic pain are under 45. Both young and old struggle with issues like disability claims, unemployment, depression, and opioid addiction—common challenges for those living with pain that controls their lives.

Nápreva offers a safe alternative to opioids, steroids, and over-the-counter painkillers, which all carry harmful side effects from long-term use.

Formulated with plant terpenes, including beta-caryophyllene from cloves, clinical studies show that Nápreva may be more effective than even the strongest opioids, steroids, and other potent drugs commonly prescribed for chronic pain—without the negative side effects.

The terpenes in Nápreva are also recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, meaning they’re safe to use in food, beverages, and everyday products, with little risk of interactions with other medications.

Nápreva users report rapid relief, better sleep, and even less stress and anxiety:

One-Minute Book Review

The Rest Revolution: How to Reclaim Your Rhythm and Conquer Burnout When Overworking Has Become the Norm – by Amanda Littlejohn

Whether you are working all hours around the clock, or retired and now expected to tend to everyone else’s needs as well as your own increasing amount of time spent on medical appointments and the like, as a general rule the world commonly asks of us more than we are reasonably able to give. And yet so often, we try anyway.

This book covers where this societal push came from, and why it’s been perpetuated despite ultimately serving very few people’s interests. How it results in “back-burnering” things that matters, and how we can recalibrate to put what matters back on the front burner.

Ultimately, she argues, overworking is not even best for personal productivity (because of burnout and diminishing marginal returns on the way to burnout), and thus neither is it even best for achieving personal ambitions. Her prescribed antidote for this covers realigning our time and space, restoring our connections where they are important, and—yes, we can still be productive—working with what we find is working for us, rather than what isn’t.

The style is personal at the same time as being delivered with professional skill and clarity.

Bottom line: if ever you feel like you’re not enough for all that is expected (or “needed”) of you, this book may be an important reset-point.
