Best Ways to Avoid Lower Back Pain
It is not without a reason that our parents would tell us stories about how it is always better to prevent something from happening than to let something break and fixing it. This is most appropriate for a number of real life scenarios and one such annoying real life fact is pain in the lower back portion of the body.
If you are lucky enough to not have to endure pain on a regular basis, then you can keep your body that way by the following best ways to avoid lower back problems.
- Know your strength. This comes into play whenever you have to lift objects that are too heavy for you. This is particularly problematic for men who want to lift things just because they don’t want to appear weak. This attitude has to change. If you know that you are not in the best of your shape, then it is better that you call someone else to life heavy objects for you.
- Not enough can be said about the horrible postures that most of us cultivate while working at office. It can be a bit annoying at times but ask your co-workers or family members to remind you if you are slipping away and sitting at temporarily comfortable postures. Return the favor and tell anyone around to sit the right way. The fight against bad postures is real and you have to win it.
- Avoid getting stressed for the simplest of events. In fact, avoid getting stressed for even the worst of events because no good can come out of it. What is the connection between stress and back pain you wonder? The problem with stress is that it affects regular inhaling and exhaling which affects the amount of oxygen that the body gets. Less oxygen means muscles are more prone to pain.
