Say "NO" to Back Pain

Backache is a major health concern for almost all of us. Nowadays, almost all the jobs require sitting at one place. Not only that, even if we are not working, we have confined ourselves around laptops and computers, which has restricted our movement. For people who have a job of sitting and working or who spend most of the time sitting at one place, are more prone to have diseases like Spondylitis, slip disc, etc. These are really painful and can make a person feel like paralyzed.

American actress, Reba McEntire, who is also a well-known singer of country music once said: “To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.”

So, it is very important to know the right way of taking care of your backbone so that you enjoy your work and live a healthy and successful life.

• Stay Stress-free – Stress is the hub of all the diseases. The more you stay stress free, the healthier you are. Although preaching is easier than practicing, but keeping stress away is not that tough.
  
  I had written about it earlier in one of my post (http://experiencingseconds.blogspot.in/2015/05/5-ways-to-lift-your-mood.html). Really, I have tried it and succeeded. I listen to soft music, meditate for few minutes, try to keep myself busy with things that I like doing and have tried chocolates as well. And most of the time I am able to throw my depression out of my way.
• Right Sitting Posture – First and foremost, you need to learn how to sit straight. Many of us think that we are sitting in a right posture, but the reality is something else. Sit upright on a chair that gives a good support to the curves of the spine. 
  
  Have you ever seen how actors and actresses sit? If you have not, the next time you turn your TV on, go to any entertainment channel and see how they sit. They sit straight and that is the reason they look confident as well. Your posture says a lot about you and at the same time takes care of your back’s health.
• Exercise – Exercises, as I always say, is the best way to keep yourself healthy. Specially, the stretching exercises. A regular practice of Yoga for your back also helps a lot. 
  
  Yoga is a best way to keep your back in a good health. You can even check about the benefits of Yoga on my earlier post. You can read it here: http://experiencingseconds.blogspot.com/2015/06/you-insure-yourself-of-ailments-by.html. It also helps in a good flow of joint fluids. Not only that, a regular exercise keeps the weight in control, which puts less pressure on the backbone.
• Sleeping position – The moment we see our bed, within the blink of the eyes, we find ourselves lying on it. And this is an amazing feeling. Every time is a new experience and we just can’t stop ourselves from enjoying this feeling. And this is not bad, what is bad is, your sleeping position. 
  
  Sleep in such a position that does not sprain your back. The pillow should be soft and should not lift your head too high. Pillows are meant to support your head while sleeping. Too much twisting of the body while sleeping should be avoided as it puts pressure on the back.
• Keep a check on your diet – Always keep a check on your diet. People with an upset bowel, complain more about back pain. It is better to stay away from rich and fast food, and stick to fruits and green vegetables along with milk products and cereals. 
  
  A good diet will keep a good digestive system. If your job does not allow you to make too much movement and getting your lunch from home is not an option, it is better to have lots of fruits or fruit salads which will not only keep your energy up but will also keep your weight in control, which will ultimately put less pressure on the backbone.
• Do not bend – If you are lifting anything from floor, do not bend while lifting it. 
  
  Instead, sit in squatting position with your back straight and lift the object by bringing it close to the body.

The more you care about yourself, the more you will find yourself happy. Health is not only wealth but our soul too. Most of us are negligent towards our backbone, but remember if you have a healthy backbone, you can do whatever you want to. The moment you start feeling pain in your back, the life will become slower and with time, it will become difficult to cure it. So, it is advisable to start caring about your backbone from right at this moment. Before living a wealthy life, live a healthy life, so that you can enjoy your wealth!!
