College football player Ryan Arnold dreams of playing in the NFL. While chasing his goal, he’s trying to avoid CTE, a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated hits to the head. “When it comes to concussions, I’ve taken some shots,” the linebacker said. “Your body gets hot. Everything pretty much shuts down. Your brain is rattled.” Concussion-related injuries are getting more attention lately. The CDC estimates about 3.8 million sport-related concussions happen each year, with almost half going unreported. “When you have a concussion, there’s many levels to the problem,” said Tony Megna, DACM, MSOM.Megna played football at the University of Wisconsin, but he had his college career derailed by concussions. He is now using traditional Chinese medicine in an attempt to help manage concussion-related injuries of other athletes like Arnold. “We can use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to help facilitate the restoration of the brain, not just to mask some of these pains,” Megna said. But does this kind of old-school, eastern medicine really work?For that answer, we went to UCHealth and spoke with a modern western doctor.“We have an extensive toolbox that we use for headache, but we need more tools,” said Dr. Lauren Grossman, MD, MS.Grossman is the medical director of UCHealth’s integrative medicine center and says traditional Chinese medicine is another way to combat concussion problems. “It’s not like writing a prescription for a pill that either works or doesn’t in one dose,” she said. “In traditional Chinese medicine, we usually recommend the patient have four to six treatments before they decide whether it’s been successful or not.” Back at Megna’s Integrated Heights Wellness and Healing Center, he is practicing acupuncture on Arnold. These athletes swear by the treatment, saying it’s also a lot better than the alternatives. “Is it the answer to everything?” Arnold asked about traditional Chinese medicine. “You don’t know until you try it. But I’d rather try something that’s more beneficial to you than popping pills.” 2068

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview on Wednesday that he believes that wearing a mask during the coronavirus pandemic is a sign of respect to others.Fauci, the Director of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases, made the comments during an interview with CNN on Wednesday morning."I mean it's sort of respect for another person and have that other person respect you. You wear a mask, they wear a mask, you protect each other," Fauci said.He added that while masks aren't 100% effective, he believes it's the "kind of thing you should be doing" during the pandemic."I do it when I'm in the public for the reasons that A, I want to protect myself, and protect others, and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that's the kind of thing you should be doing," he said. The CDC already recommends that all Americans wear a mask when in situations while in large groups where social distancing could be difficult.Fauci's comments come as the issues of masks have become a divisive political issue as the virus continues to spread. Though President Donald Trump briefly wore a mask while touring a Ford plant in Michigan last week, he has chosen not to wear them during visits to other plants. Earlier this week, Trump retweeted a political pundit that implied Trump chooses not to wear a mask because of looks.On Tuesday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam ordered that all Virginians wear a mask while indoors in public buildings — an order that most states have chosen not to implement. 1540

Consumer goods giant Unilever has committed to halving its use of new plastic by 2025.The maker of Ben & Jerry's and Dove announced the target on Monday. If the company meets its goal, it will use no more than 350,000 tonnes (386,000 tons) of new plastic each year from 2025, down from around 700,000 tonnes (772,000 tons) in 2018.To get there, Unilever will offer more reusable and refillable packaging, and sell more "naked," or unwrapped, products. The company will also use more recycled plastic in its packaging."There is a lot of plastic pollution in the environment. And the fact of the matter is — too much of it carries our name," Unilever said in a statement.Unilever has been developing new ways to deliver its products, which the company says are used daily by 2.5 billion people in over 190 countries. It has tried selling ice cream bars without plastic wrappers, as well as cleaning product concentrates that allow shoppers to refill bottles instead of buying new ones.The company is also participating in an industry initiative called Loop. As part of that project, it's selling refillable deodorant sticks made from stainless steel. The deodorant lasts one month on average and the packaging can be reused an estimated 100 times. Other consumer goods producers including Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Danone and Mondelēz International have also signed on to Loop.The push by consumer goods makers to reduce their use of plastic comes amid mounting pressure from governments for them to act. Consumers are also increasingly aware of the damage that's caused when plastic enters the environment and especially the world's oceans.Massive amounts of plastic have piled up in landfills, with some emitting greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming as they degrade. Plastics are expected to outweigh fish in the ocean by 2050.Alan Jope, the CEO of Unilever, said in a statement that the huge scale of the problem demands a "fundamental rethink" in the company's approach to packaging and products."It requires us to introduce new and innovative materials, and scale up new business models, like reuse and refill formats, at an unprecedented speed and intensity," he added.The company previously committed to making all of its plastic packaging fully reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. It wants recycled plastic to make up at least 25% of its packaging by the same year. Both efforts should help the company meet its commitment to reduce its use of new plastic.Learning how to recycleUnilever is also working to ensure that more of the plastic that it does use is recycled. The company said Monday that it wants to collect and process more plastic packaging than it sells by 2025.To meet that goal, the company will invest in waste collection and processing. Unilever will also purchase more recycled plastics for use in its own packaging, and it will participate in programs where it directly pays for the collection of its own discarded packaging. 3003
