Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.  My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned. And I'm doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness. And today we're going to talk about how the cell phone has a tremendous effect on our health and what we're doing today that can affect our health later on. So this is really important information that we're using today, and we need to be careful with our habits. We have an epidemic of burnout and stress today. And it's all started by growing addiction to our phone. There's no answer the day; the phone is constantly on at night and during the day, in the morning. We wake up with the phone, we go to sleep with the phone, and there's no interaction with people. We just interacting with our phones and our computers. The average person spends between 5-7 hours a day on the phone. And we all have a section on the smartphones that tells us how much time we spend on the phone. And it breaks it down to different parts; social media, entertainment, phone time. And basically, it breaks it down per day, and it breaks it down per week. And the average person spends close to 30 hours a week on the phone. So do yourself a big favor and look at it sometimes and monitor your screen time per day and per week, and you'll be very surprised at how much time you spend on the phone; between Facebook, Instagram, social media, emails, games, different apps that we use, even looking at the news. So the biggest group doing this today is the younger generation. And then even goes beyond that. Even they're really young children; 2 years old and up have traded their pacifier for the smartphone. It's become the new babysitter for kids now, and they see it all the time in my office. As I see the kids just on the phone while the mom is getting their adjustments. We have become addicted to social media, we have become addicted to the games. We're addicted to the check inboxes, the Instagram. A lot of people are addicted to the likes, we want to know how many people like my picture or my video, and we're constantly looking at it. So this has created a huge impact on health. And more importantly on mental health. What we have to realize is that this is just the beginning. This is a new thing. It's only going to get bigger and bigger. In right now so least overwhelming it will be, and it's only going to get worse because there is no rules on how to handle this. It's just like when the cars just came out, we were traveling at horse speed about 7-8 miles an hour, and all the sudden the cars came out and they were driving 30-40 miles an hour with no road rules, no speed limits, no red lights, no stop sign. So basically, a lot of people got killed. And it was terrible. And it took a while for the road rules to come in and catch up. It took a while for the road rules to be put in place and the cars were able to go faster. So the information now that's coming in from cars speed, it's going now to speed of light. iPhones or smartphones are about 10 years old, and one of the biggest source of stress that parents have today is basically what's going on with the kids, because the young generation are using the smartphone more than we are. So we're seeing growing incidence of anxiety and depression and suicide, and it's happening more and more. People are not able to disconnect.
