Ultra-Processed Foods Make Up Half of Most Kids’ Daily Calorie Intake.

Ultra-processed foods are industrially formulated products that typically contain added sugars, fats, and salt to enhance flavor and extend shelf life. According to a recent review, ultra-processed foods now account for 50–60% of total daily energy intake among children and adolescents in many high-income countries, including the United States. A high intake of ultra-processed foods has been linked to an elevated risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, early cardiovascular risk, dental caries, and allergic diseases.

📈 Neck pain is becoming more common in young people around the world.

A recent study found that neck pain has been rising since 1990, especially in girls and in countries with higher incomes. It is expected to continue growing by 2050.

Why it matters:
🔹 Neck pain can start young and get worse with age
🔹 Poor posture and excessive screen time may be part of the problem
🔹 Some developed areas are seeing faster increases than others

The good news? Early care, better posture, and regular movement can make a big difference.

🧬 Recent research shows a clear link between higher body weight and an increased risk of lumbar spondylolisthesis, a condition in which a lower back bone shifts out of place.

Using genetic data from thousands of people, the study found that a higher body mass index (i.e., overweight or obese) makes it more likely for someone to develop this spine condition.

The takeaway is simple. Maintaining a healthy weight may help protect your spine and lower the risk of severe back problems.

If back pain is slowing you down, we can help you take steps toward better movement and long-term spine health.

Shoulder, Elbow, or Wrist Pain May Warrant a Spine Evaluation.

In a case series of three patients with spinal dysfunction and upper extremity pain that did not correspond with typical pain referral patterns from the spine, researchers found that spinal manipulation and mobilization—manual therapy techniques commonly used by chiropractors—were associated with clinically significant improvements in arm pain and disability. The findings suggest clinicians should include the spine when evaluating patients with shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain.
