Tech of the Week: Darma Smart Cushion

Darma Smart Cushion

Back pain is one of the most commons health problems our modern society faces. Darma aims to fix that. Boasting features from monitoring you posture, sittings habits, stress level, and coaching you to sit better.
How bad is sitting? Studies have shown that the hours you sit is related to various cancers, heart conditions, metabolic conditions, depression, anxiety and depression.

“Good posture is the key to good health.”

 Possible Pros:

Improved health. A technology that could be a category killer for many other apps and devices (i.e. reminder timers, heart rate apps)

Possible Cons:

Price, good chance this is the only cushion you’ll pay $100+ for. Accuracy, will it really be able to measure your stress levels and heart rate variability? It’s still not completely clear.

Regardless they definitely have plenty of backers. Their Kickstarter campaign ended at $225,574, over 5 times their goal.

Early units are planned to go out from March – June 2015 with no word, as of yet, on public access.

Episode 1: 60 Second Paleo

First of many 60 seconds of Paleo!
I'll also be doing a Q&A so feel free to send your burning questions, comments, love, primal hate, why you feel veganism is better or anything to buidingbetterquestions@gmail.com

This is 60 Second Paleo, I'm Roman. Today I want to talk about how, if you've just started a paleo diet, and you're not getting the results you're looking for, you should really look into where you're sourcing your beef from. Hopefully you are eating beef. Compared to grain fed, grass fed has a lot of benefits within the saturated fat. It has more omega 3 fatty acids. Which is important for nerve tissue, it will help with strees and control with metabolic processes. It will also help with cortisol by improving your ratio of omega 3 to 6. It also has more CLA which is a trans fat, one of the few good ones, that improves brain function. It'll help with weight loss and weight regulation and it's been shown to reduce your risk of cancer. It also more vitamins, both water and fat soluble. More anti oxidants and trace minerals. And that's your 60 seconds for today, peace!
