Have a listen:

1. SmartSeat
www.physicalmindinstitute.com/smartseat

Retrain Your Sitting Muscles

“Sitting is the New Smoking” but maybe HOW we sit, with crossed legs and the pelvis tucked, is why 80% of us will experience back and hip pain. PhysicalMind Institute has a solution, SmartSeat™ is designed to retrain your body so that you can undue the damage from poor seated posture.  

SIT Smarter to Correct Your Posture!

The common crossed-leg seated position has been implicated in back, hip and knee pain because sitting this way compresses the spine and lumbar discs, inhibits abdominal muscle support, and unbalances the pelvis and may restrict circulation (spider vein alert)!

SmartSeat™ is a tool that also:   
·   Improves Standing Posture
·   Lifts & Lightens the Upper Body
·   Energizes the Breathing
·   Activates the Core Abdominals

Just 30 minutes of daily use will retrain your body so that you can sit comfortably with legs uncrossed. SmartSeat™ weighs just three ounces but supports the weight of the torso, its design lifts only the SITTING bones, not the seat.   SmartSeat™ is made of a suede-like foam and comes in a protective bag with two portable wedges so that you can take sitting well with you anywhere.
SmartSeat™ is 19” long  with a 3” pommel at the front and flares to 7” at the back of the model. Wedges are 7”x 7”.
$49- available August 15 on www.physicalmindinstitute.com/smartseat

With the popularity of smartphones and many on a budget, Alcatel carefully crafted and designed the Alcatel 1X for $99, and the 3V for $149. There are many features on these smartphones, such as fingerprint recognition, social sharing tools, and they are so easy to use.

5.  WHOOSH! Screen Shine

This is the ideal product for getting rid of germs on electronic devices, or on services in general. Research has shown that the screen of a phone can be up to 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat! Many of us may think using our shirt to wipe the smudges off the screen is sufficient, but that doesn’t take care of the bacteria that still linger on the screen and often just pushes the dirt and grime around the screen. WHOOSH! Screen Shine is an entirely new way to not only rid your phone or tablet screen of bacteria, smudges and dirt but it also leaves behind a nano-film that resists dust and fingerprints. Using the antimicrobial microfiber cloth and non-toxic solution together keeps your screen looking the same as when it came out of the box!
    Antimicrobial microfiber cloth and liquid solution work in tandem to remove bacteria, oils and smudges
    Unique formula leaves a nano-coating that repels dust, smudges and fingerprints to keep the screen looking new
    Formula is non-toxic and does not contain alcohol or ammonia making it odorless and eco-friendly
    Safe for all screens
    Available in .3 oz, 1oz and 3.7 oz   $7, $10 and $20
