Alternative Living – Evan’s alternative lifestyle


hey it’s evan i’m at home and today I
wanted to share with you a few things
from my alternative lifestyle that have
really helped my body a little bit
different video than usual but it’s
really helped me and so i thought i’d
make a video to help you potential as
well the first thing is is my shoes so
i’m here in the hallway i’m going to
open up my closet you see I’m I’m
barefoot here my favorite shoes as I
open up here let me pull them out are my
vibram five toe shoes I used to have
really bad knees I don’t know why my
knees we’re always really bad I used to
have to rub them to get them from not
he’s feeling I don’t know I felt weird I
just have all these problems with my
knees I went to chiropractor I used to
have insoles in my in my feet all the
time and it kept changing it up and I’m
like in my 20s right my 20s and I guess
in late teens in high school too and I
should not be having these problems
right but my shoes were causing me
issues and they thought the answer were
insoles where it really helped me was
going with these vibram five toe shoes
so it’s basically like walking barefoot
you’re supposed to be walking barefoot
in your life at it it’s the best thing
for you so when I’m at home I am walking
barefoot and at the office he was
walking barefoot with socks on obviously
and then i have my vibram five toe shoes
that i try to wear as much as possible
and it takes while to get used to you
can’t just wear them all at once right
away it takes some training you wear
them for half an hour than an hour than
two hours and you slowly get used to it
but after doing that my knee problems
gone no problems at all of my knees
anymore so Thank You viber next
we’re going through the kitchen say hi
to the minions we’re going into my home
office and the next thing is the stand
up desk so I’m all set up here for video
day we’ve got actually two computers now
because Nina likes to play League of
Legends so we we can play next to each
other and get some League of Legends
going on at night here’s my setup I’ve
got my microphone I’ve got my Mickey
Mouse glass with water and my smoothie
to drink this stand-up desk really help
to solve my back issues I had really bad
back issues let me flip this thing
around so you can see me I had really
bad back issues so bad just crazy pain
and again seeing chiropractors and I
member in university having to go weekly
and have these electric nodes put on my
back and he put chalks through and he
would crack my back and that stuff adds
up its really expensive and and i’m in
university right like I’m supposed to be
healthy here why is my back hurting so
much and it was from sitting down too
much you know I do a lot of work in
front of the computer my business is
mostly in front of the computer the
company I had at the time it was
software companies was always in front
of the computer and and I would slouch
and and it was just bad for my back and
I slowly moved to stand up desk so it
takes a while again to get used to you
can’t just stand up all day but you
could train yourself and you can build
it up you can create it yourself you
have to go and spend tons of money to
create stand up desk but it really helps
solve all of my back issues so trying
stand-up desk there’s tons of health
benefits for you it is a little
alternative a member people come into
the office there’s nowhere for them to
sit at a regular meeting because I don’t
have chairs so that’s a little awkward
but I guess you can always get a board
room or something too so try saying that
desk really helps all my back one last
thing I want to talk about and this is
the newest one my neck so we’re going to
the bedroom so here’s my bed
and I still got bad neck problems I had
bad knees bad back and bad neck and when
I found was by not using a pillow I
could solve my neck issues by sleeping
on my back and not using a pillow so
those are bad there’s Nina has a pillow
and I don’t have a pillow there’s a
little blue thing at the back that’s a
face mask to kind of block out the Sun
in the morning but I’ve always been a
stomach sleeper I’ve always been a
stomach sleeper and it just you know
killed my neck and sleeping on the
pillow killed my neck and so I found
that using a memory foam mattress really
helped me be able to sleep on my back
and not using a pill it really helped my
neck so here I am now how old am I 2014
I’m 34 years old my knees feel better my
back feels better my neck feels better
than when I was in high school and
university and it’s all because of the
vibrant shoes a stand-up desk and not
sleeping with a pillow none of these
things cost a lot but have a major
impact at least on my life and hopefully
