Constant Phone Checking solutions! The Un-Social Network.

Here's an interesting article on the addictive habit of constantly checking out cell phones. I think it's an annoying habit and frustrating when friends or patients are constantly distracted while trying to have a real "social" conversation.

Webmd article on Smoking effects on the brain

(WebMD) 

   Smoking is bad for the brain, especially for male smokers.
Men who smoke tend to have a more rapid mental decline than men who do not smoke, a new study shows. But the findings did not reveal a similar link between smoking and mental decline in female smokers.Although the exact reason for the sex difference is unclear, one possibility is that women tend to smoke fewer cigarettes a day than men do and for fewer years. Other lifestyle habits, such as male smokers drinking more alcohol, may also account for some differences seen.

Acupuncture for the NFL

Interesting article on treating NFL players with acupuncture. Recently I've had college and NBA players come in for treatments for stiff joints and muscle fatigue. Fortunately they felt much better and relaxed in time for their next game.
