Back Pain – Ways To Prevent It And Lead A Healthy Life!

While back pain is a common problem, many people simply don’t take it seriously. Such people ignore the early signs like stiffness. Thus, when back pain strikes, people are caught unawares. The pain in most cases can be so intense that it makes simple everyday activities almost impossible to accomplish.

Today, let’s talk about some simple steps you can take to prevent the onset of back pain. All of these tips require you to make controlled changes to your lifestyle. By following these ways, you can greatly reduce the risk of suffering from back pain!

Avoid back pain – 5 simple tips

1. Get regular exercise: A sedentary lifestyle is one of the most common reasons for having back pain. Muscles are meant to be used. In the absence of work, your muscles can become weak. Thus, remember to get moderate aerobic exercise at least 4 days a week. Regular exercise will maintain the health, strength and flexibility of your joints and muscles while reducing the risk of becoming overweight.

2. Eat well: Having a proper diet not only helps you stay healthy but also reduces stress on the body. Eating spicy or oily food regularly can put great strain on your joints, muscles and nerves. Instead, opt for a diet of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Choose lean meat like poultry over red meat. Moreover, take at least one glass of plain milk every day. This will keep your digestive system on track, while supplying your bones and muscles with the nutrients they need to remain healthy.

3. Watch your posture: No diet plan in the world can save you from back pain if you don’t maintain a proper posture. If you are required to sit for several hours at a stretch, then you should observe yourself every 20 minutes. If you feel yourself slouching or leaning then correct your posture immediately. After just a couple of days, good posture will become habitual for you. Moreover, take a short 5-minute break for every hour of work. Use the break to do some simple stretching exercises.

4. Sleep on the side: Physiotherapists regularly advise people not to sleep flat on the back. This position puts strain on the spine and the back muscles, thus increasing the risk of back pain. You should sleep sideways. Use a side pillow between your knees, as this reduces the strain on the hip muscles.

5. Avoid bad habits: It is an acknowledged fact that people who smoke regularly have a higher risk of suffering from back pain than non-smokers. Smoking can even worsen the intensity of back pain. The various chemicals in cigarette smoke inhibit blood circulation to the muscles and bones in your back, thus setting the stage for back pain. If you want to avoid back pain, then you should stop smoking without any further delay.
