The 2013 study showed that almost 1/3 of modern couples met online on social media platforms, in chats, on forums, and on specialized websites. Internet communication has become an everyday thing and we’re no longer afraid that we’re chatting with a maniac. However, not all dates and relationships end well, and we might regret the time we wasted with the wrong people. Bright Side offers …

Our posture is directly affected by the condition of the spine. The mobility of the spine in a healthy, trained person is unique!
