[00:00:14] the inner layer of paid tribute, it's the anthem in a
[00:00:17] school where classes
[00:00:21] are starting the enrollment process in other
[00:00:25] schools that are still temporary camps, they began the enrollment process while
[00:00:28] we say goodbye, so thank you to everyone
[00:01:39] Guide your body, I'm Jerani Flores and I'm with you for this
[00:01:43] half hour dedicated to your well-being, have you ever
[00:01:46] felt that your body is just another piece in a
[00:01:50] never-stopping work machine? In today's program
[00:01:53] we will talk about the economy of immobility and its
[00:01:57] bodily implications,
[00:02:01] an analysis of how modern employment, forced
[00:02:04] sedentary lifestyles and digital
[00:02:07] hyperconnectivity impact our health. Spending hours
[00:02:10] sitting or connected to a screen is not always a
[00:02:14] comfort choice, but a work requirement that takes a
[00:02:18] heavy toll on the body. How can we
[00:02:20] regain health, our time and the right to
[00:02:24] disconnection? Today we're going to see it, but first, as
[00:02:27] always, we review the most prominent news of the week in the
[00:02:31] field of health,
[00:02:32] let's see.
[00:02:39] Aerobic exercise could help preserve
[00:02:43] mental agility after menopause. A study by Rutgers
[00:02:47] University found improvements in
[00:02:50] functions such as concentration,
[00:02:52] planning and decision-making among women who
[00:02:55] regularly performed aerobic training. Walking at a
[00:02:59] brisk pace, swimming or cycling were some of
[00:03:03] the activities included in the program, sessions of
[00:03:06] about 45 minutes four times a
[00:03:09] week, compared to those who performed
[00:03:12] mainly stretching exercises, the participants in the aerobic group
[00:03:15] showed better performance in skills related to executive
[00:03:19] function such as task switching, maintaining
[00:03:22] attention and correcting errors, however,
[00:03:25] no significant differences were observed in
[00:03:29] short-term memory, the results reinforce the role of
[00:03:32] physical activity as an accessible tool to support
[00:03:36] cognitive health during this stage.
[00:03:39] Heat waves not only
[00:03:48] cause dehydration or heatstroke, they can also
[00:03:51] trigger or worsen dozens of health
[00:03:55] problems. A study by Northeastern University,
[00:03:58] published in Science
[00:04:01] evident with greater force Advances, identified associations with up to 33 diagnoses and emergency
[00:04:05] tension and regaining situations after analyzing nearly one million visits to
[00:04:08] emergency services in Chicago. Among the observed
[00:04:12] effects are physical and mental alterations,
[00:04:15] irritability, increased aggression and problems with
[00:04:18] attention and concentration. In an increasingly
[00:04:22] hot climate, researchers suggest that the
[00:04:25] response cannot depend solely on medical care.
[00:04:28] Cities must also adapt with more shade,
[00:04:31] air-conditioned shelters and green areas,
[00:04:35] especially to protect the most
[00:04:38] vulnerable people.
[00:04:39] When we talk about taking care of the body,
[00:04:43] understanding the impact of spending hours sitting is
[00:04:46] fundamental. The lack of movement slows down
[00:04:49] blood circulation and causes arteries to lose
[00:04:52] their natural ability to regenerate and
[00:04:56] dilate. In health processes we will see how vascular
[00:04:59] medicine evaluates this silent damage in time.
[00:05:02] We will learn about the clinical tools that allow us to detect
[00:05:06] the loss of elasticity
[00:05:09] no, because the workers themselves are part of in our blood vessels before it becomes a
[00:05:12] serious, irreversible lesion.
[00:05:15] What happens to blood vessels
[00:05:17] when you spend hours without moving? Prolonged
[00:05:20] sedentary behavior can affect the functioning of the
[00:05:24] endothelium,
[00:05:27] the arteries that participates in the regulation of blood flow and
[00:05:31] vessel dilation. To evaluate this function, specialists
[00:05:35] can use flow-mediated dilation.
[00:05:38] Using ultrasound, the diameter of an artery,
[00:05:41] generally the brachial artery, is measured.
[00:05:45] Then a cuff temporarily interrupts the flow, and when
[00:05:49] released, the increased flow stimulates the endothelium.
[00:05:53] Ultrasound allows comparing the artery diameter before and
[00:05:57] after the maneuver. This result is not interpreted
[00:06:00] in isolation; factors such as age, blood
[00:06:03] pressure, medications, smoking and physical activity
[00:06:07] can also influence. Blood tests can complement
[00:06:10] the assessment of cardiovascular risk, but no single
[00:06:14] marker confirms endothelial dysfunction.
[00:06:18] The goal is to better understand vascular health and detect
[00:06:21] alterations that require monitoring. The message is
[00:06:24] clear: moving is also taking care of circulation. Interrupting
[00:06:28] prolonged periods of inactivity, walking,
[00:06:31] and maintaining regular physical activity are habits
[00:06:35] that build
[00:06:36] cardiovascular health.
[00:06:39] As every week, join us to discover the
[00:06:43] things that bring us closer to a healthier future.
[00:06:46] September 15, World Lymphoma Awareness Day,
[00:06:50] a date to inform about its symptoms and promote early
[00:06:54] detection of this cancer of the lymphatic system.
[00:06:57] September 17, World Patient Safety Day,
[00:07:00] a date to promote the participation of
[00:07:04] patients and communities in safer care and reduce
[00:07:07] avoidable harm in health services.
[00:07:11] September 21, World Alzheimer's Day.
[00:07:14] It seeks to raise awareness about dementia, reduce the
[00:07:17] stigma surrounding this disease and promote support
[00:07:21] for affected people and their
[00:07:24] caregivers. Understanding that the right to time
[00:07:28] and rest is a claim for occupational health, is
[00:07:31] fundamental for our bodily autonomy. Upon returning from the
[00:07:35] break, we will learn how continuous digital availability
[00:07:38] transforms into an occupational risk factor
[00:07:42] and what strategies allow us to defend the health of the working
[00:07:46] class. Don't go away.
[00:10:33] We are back here on Guide your body. The triumph over
[00:10:36] forced immobility is not just a matter of individual
[00:10:40] will, but of regaining our time
[00:10:43] and our spaces. Currently, studies
[00:10:46] show that hyperconnectivity transfers
[00:10:49] the workday to the home, transforming
[00:10:52] digital availability into a
[00:10:55] risk factor for occupation that deteriorates metabolic
[00:10:58] and vascular health. However, this vulnerability is
[00:11:02] fought by claiming the right to disconnect as
[00:11:05] a fundamental human and labor guarantee. Let's see how
[00:11:09] collective organization and the right to time are powerful
[00:11:13] tools to guarantee true sovereign
[00:11:16] health.
[00:11:26] The human body in the contemporary era has been gradually
[00:11:30] stripped of its dynamic nature to be integrated as
[00:11:33] another piece in the architecture of global economic
[00:11:37] performance. Under the facade of technological
[00:11:39] progress and digital community, immobility
[00:11:43] has ceased to be a fortuitous symptom to become
[00:11:46] the core of an extraction model that converts
[00:11:50] life time into financial value. The
[00:11:53] health of the vast majority of workers, especially in the
[00:11:57] productive and service sectors, is today
[00:12:00] traversed by a forced inactivity that does not respond
[00:12:04] to individual decisions, but to a specific
[00:12:07] way of organizing work, territories
[00:12:10] and production. In this scenario, physical
[00:12:13] degradation and the loss of bodily
[00:12:16] sovereignty are not fortuitous failures of the system,
[00:12:20] but the direct result of a structure that requires fixed,
[00:12:24] available and permanently
[00:12:26] connected bodies, doing things that have to do with operations, but
[00:12:30] sitting, and that increases a silent but
[00:12:34] clearly deadly disease for our future health, so you would say, engineer, but
[00:12:38] what does that have to do with it if I just do my activity all day, I'm very diligent,
[00:12:41] disciplined, I come and go on time, why should
[00:12:44] I worry? You should worry a lot, because tomorrow,
[00:12:48] sitting all the time, doing your job efficiently, will
[00:12:51] generate consequences in the development of occupational diseases
[00:12:55] in the future: the trap of hyperconnectivity
[00:12:58] constitutes the first manifestation of this
[00:13:00] dynamic, operating as a digital transmission belt
[00:13:04] that has dissolved the temporal limits of work,
[00:13:08] sitting in front of a screen or remaining subject to a
[00:13:11] communication device is no longer a comfort option, but
[00:13:15] a condition of subsistence imposed on millions of
[00:13:19] people. The technology that theoretically
[00:13:22] promised to free up life time and ease
[00:13:26] effort has served in practice to extend the workday
[00:13:29] into the home and daily life. Immobility
[00:13:32] here does not represent rest, but functional
[00:13:36] immobilization. The individual remains seated not by
[00:13:39] free choice, but because the continuity of intangible
[00:13:43] production demands fixed permanence at the
[00:13:47] workplace, constant attention to platforms
[00:13:50] to finish our work, sitting with our friends
[00:13:53] in a bar or some place to continue sitting,
[00:13:57] well, that doesn't make sense, it's like the person who drives for a couple of
[00:14:00] hours and feels tired and arrives at a parking lot and sits down to drink a
[00:14:04] soda, it doesn't make sense because you are still
[00:14:07] sitting driving for a couple of hours to be sitting now drinking a
[00:14:11] refreshment, my deep invitation is that we understand about sedentary
[00:14:15] lifestyle and understand that moving is very important for our
[00:14:18] body, this continued digital
[00:14:20] confinement generates a severe epidemiological impact that is
[00:14:26] in working populations, forced
[00:14:28] immobility rapidly deteriorates metabolic
[00:14:32] health, weakens the cardiovascular system,
[00:14:35] degrades facial structure and generates a
[00:14:38] silent burden of chronic muscular pain and mental
[00:14:41] fatigue. What corporate medicine usually
[00:14:44] categorizes as lifestyle diseases are actually
[00:14:48] occupational risk factors derived from a model that
[00:14:52] confines physical energy in favor of
[00:14:55] uninterrupted data processing, permanent
[00:14:59] digital availability translates into continuous cellular
[00:15:02] wear and tear where the hyperactivation of the nervous
[00:15:05] system and the lack of biological movement end up
[00:15:08] fracturing the vitality of the public worker, no,
[00:15:12] there are no superworkers, there are no,
[00:15:16] not all of them already come with some health problem, the idea is
[00:15:20] that we can also be a part of the attention or
[00:15:23] part of the support, of what primary care
[00:15:27] comes to be, to be able to avoid that this
[00:15:30] worsens over time
[00:15:34] the community, they are part of society, so the public health programs. We
[00:15:38] do them on a small scale to try to ensure that this impact within the
[00:15:41] work environment generates a positive
[00:15:44] impact, preventing these diseases from getting
[00:15:48] out of control and worsening over time. The response cannot be reduced to
[00:15:51] individual self-care recommendations or superficial
[00:15:55] corporate wellness programs that shift
[00:15:58] the blame to the worker, the reconquest of collective
[00:16:01] health demands understanding the right to digital
[00:16:05] disconnection and the limitation of the workday not as
[00:16:08] concessions or privileges, but as guarantees of
[00:16:12] labor health and fundamental human rights: claiming
[00:16:14] the time to disconnect is in essence an act of economic
[00:16:18] justice and bodily sovereignty. We will feel
[00:16:22] less tired when we are
[00:16:25] truly oxygenating our body so that we not only have better
[00:16:28] energy, but also truly avoid the development of occupational
[00:16:31] diseases. The body is not a disposable input
[00:16:35] within the economic machinery, but the fundamental
[00:16:39] space of dignity and autonomy. Recognizing
[00:16:42] the structural origin of immobility allows
[00:16:45] progress towards the construction of collective and sovereign
[00:16:49] health, where the organization of society does not result
[00:16:52] in the silent wear and tear of life, but
[00:16:56] in the full guarantee
[00:16:57] of its integral development.
[00:17:03] The lack of movement during the workday is not a personal
[00:17:07] oversight, but the result of an urban and productive model
[00:17:11] designed to extract value from the human body, as we
[00:17:15] have been showing, the fight for bodily sovereignty is a
[00:17:19] collective challenge, we invite you to discover more data
[00:17:22] on the economy of
[00:17:23] immobility.
[00:17:30] Replying to work emails and messages outside of working hours
[00:17:34] not only lengthens the workday, it can also make
[00:17:37] disconnection and rest difficult, and when free time
[00:17:40] is reduced, the time for something essential is also
[00:17:44] restricted: moving the body. Spending hours
[00:17:47] sitting, coupled with long commutes and little
[00:17:50] physical activity, can turn the workday into many hours of
[00:17:54] accumulated inactivity. Therefore, disconnecting from
[00:17:57] work at the end of the day is not just a
[00:18:01] break, it is part of the time the body needs to
[00:18:04] recover. Resting, sleeping,
[00:18:07] walking and moving are not extra activities, they are
[00:18:11] part of daily health care, because when work
[00:18:14] occupies more and more hours of the day, a question becomes
[00:18:17] necessary: How much time do you allow your body to
[00:18:21] recover?
[00:18:25] The recognition of health as a spatial and labor
[00:18:29] right is an act of collective responsibility
[00:18:32] for the future of our generations. We'll be back with more
[00:18:36] of Guide Your Body, don't go away.
[00:20:27] We are back and in our positive note we will learn about the
[00:20:30] 20 2020 rule, a
[00:20:33] simple and free strategy to protect visual health and
[00:20:37] reduce stress on the central nervous system in the digital
[00:20:41] age, accessible tools that demonstrate
[00:20:44] how small habits reconnect well-being with
[00:20:47] our daily routine. Next, information:
[00:20:50] How much time do you spend in front of a
[00:20:57] screen without looking up? Your eyes also need
[00:21:00] a break, and to give them a rest you don't need any special
[00:21:04] equipment, just remember the 20
[00:21:08] 2020 rule. This guideline
[00:21:11] proposes that every 20 minutes in front of a
[00:21:14] computer, phone, tablet, you take a 20-second
[00:21:17] break and look at a point about
[00:21:21] 6 meters away. What is this break for? To reduce
[00:21:25] the effort of keeping your eyes fixed at short
[00:21:28] distances and to give your eyes a rest. Spending hours in
[00:21:32] front of a screen can promote eye strain, with discomfort
[00:21:36] such as dryness, burning, temporary blurred vision or a
[00:21:40] gritty sensation. And there's another simple gesture that can help,
[00:21:43] consciously blinking. When
[00:21:46] you look at a screen for a long time, you tend to blink
[00:21:49] less, which can promote dry eyes.
[00:21:53] Incorporating these micro-breaks can also help reduce
[00:21:57] eye strain and some discomforts associated
[00:22:00] with prolonged use of devices. It's not about
[00:22:04] stopping using technology but changing the way it
[00:22:08] is used. Looking up, blinking and changing
[00:22:11] posture are modest gestures that can be easily
[00:22:14] integrated into your daily routine. 20 minutes
[00:22:18] of screen, 20 seconds of break, 6 meters
[00:22:21] away, an easy rule to remember and above all
[00:22:25] easy to put into practice, because in a world that invites
[00:22:29] constant looking at an electronic device, sometimes
[00:22:32] taking care of your health begins simply by looking
[00:22:35] up.
[00:22:41] Among the botanical knowledge that our ancestors left us
[00:22:44] are topical therapies to protect the
[00:22:47] musculoskeletal system such as inversion baths and
[00:22:50] remineralizing compresses of magnesium and chamomile,
[00:22:54] combined with muscle-relaxing plants such as rosemary
[00:22:58] and valerian. This practice facilitates the absorption
[00:23:01] of minerals through the skin, helping to relieve lower back
[00:23:04] tension, relax the hips and stiff
[00:23:08] muscles at the end of the sedentary
[00:23:10] workday.
[00:23:18] Spending hours sitting or in the same posture can increase the feeling of
[00:23:22] stiffness and muscle fatigue. Faced with this,
[00:23:25] warm water and hot compresses can become
[00:23:28] simple allies to relax the body and prepare it for
[00:23:32] rest. In natural medicine, immersion baths
[00:23:36] with Epsom salts, magnesium sulfate, are a popular
[00:23:39] practice to create a moment of relaxation, however,
[00:23:43] there is no solid evidence that the magnesium in these
[00:23:46] salts is absorbed through the skin in sufficient
[00:23:50] quantities to produce a systemic therapeutic effect. The most
[00:23:54] plausible benefit is in the warm bath itself, which can
[00:23:58] help temporarily reduce the feeling of tension and
[00:24:01] promote relaxation. And plants, chamomile
[00:24:05] and rosemary are part of numerous traditional
[00:24:08] preparations aimed at well-being and relaxation.
[00:24:12] They can be incorporated into water as part of a
[00:24:15] relaxation ritual, always bearing in mind that their topical
[00:24:19] use does not replace medical treatment. If there
[00:24:22] is no bathtub, a warm compress over the area of greatest
[00:24:26] tension can be a practical alternative. The
[00:24:29] important thing is to avoid excessive temperatures and
[00:24:32] stop using it if irritation
[00:24:34] or discomfort occurs.
[00:24:37] The body not only needs rest, it also needs
[00:24:41] movement, a warm bath, a hot
[00:24:43] compress and a few minutes of
[00:24:47] be integrated into a self-care routine. Because good
[00:24:50] living also means listening to your body, releasing
[00:24:55] movement.
[00:24:58] As always, we invite you not to miss healthy living with Isaac
[00:25:01] García, a space that, together with Guide Your Body, provides you with all the
[00:25:05] tools to live and feel better. Don't miss it.
[00:25:26] There are very important statistical data in which
[00:25:30] due to this to the days in which
[00:25:33] there is particularly more pollution, hospitalizations
[00:25:37] for chest pain, for cerebral
[00:25:40] embolisms, for arrhythmias and for heart
[00:25:42] failure increase.
