  Reading should be treated as cognitive fitness: scheduled daily, with distracting digital media avoided the way we avoid junk food.

  Their words

  We should treat highly distracting digital garbage like junk food – something we largely avoid – and purposefully schedule a non-trivial amount of time each day to read, write, and self-reflect, just as we now dedicate time to walking, jogging, and weight lifting.

  Their words

  The Alpha Ball solves a few different problems at the same time: (1) It's precise. Foam rollers are big amorphous objects. It can be hard to get them to certain spots (e.g., hips—TFL, glute medius, piriformis), which the Alpha Ball can easily access.
