Audio Diet? Perhaps it makes sense.


After reading my last post where I encourage people to take advantage of our latest mobile technology as a means of enhancing the exercise experience, a dear friend of mine, who is well respected in the world of naturopathy, gave me some sound words of advise...

"From the Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, having sounds so close to your ears constantly can affect certain acupuncture meridian - mainly the kidney meridian. Energetically, this constant bombardment is very bad for the kidneys (especially when it is so loud). And also, we don't know the long-term side effects of growing up in a generation full of electronic devises so close to our bodies for hours on end.
But, generally speaking naturopaths/wholistic doc's are very much against " cellular phones so close to our bodies, being exposed to electro-magnectic rays coming from anywhere (ie. microwaves to bluetooth placed beside our brains), the list is very long as u can imagine.

So, maybe in your next blog, u can suggest a more "judicious/wiser" usage of electronic devises, we can't seem to get away from."

Certainly moderate use of these toys should be the goal. Personally I couldn't handle the boredom of exercise without something stimulating my mind.
