More or less all modern people have spinal problems, either scoliosis or a bulging spine. If you want to improve spinal problems, you need to have good habits. In this blog, we will discuss some good habits to develop in life to ensure the healthy development of the spine.
Good Living Habits
Standing
When we stand, the spine bears all our weight, so the standing posture is very important, and the normal spine has a certain curvature, maintaining and maintaining the normal curvature can reduce the pressure on the spine, so it can reduce the back pain. When we need to stand for a long time, we can take turns putting one foot on the footstool at a height of about 20-30 cm. This will take the pressure off your back.
Sitting
The majority of people in the modern world work while seated in chairs, and the most frequent issue is back pain brought on by extended sitting. As a result, proper sitting posture is crucial. A chair with a slightly pronounced arch, for instance, an Ergonomic Chair, is required to support the back. It lessens weariness and lessens the strain on the spine. Furthermore, it is possible to alleviate pressure on the spine by positioning the knees marginally higher than the hips. In order to improve back health and slightly move the body, a posture shouldn’t be held for longer than an hour.
Give Up Smoking
According to statistics, people who smoke are two to three times more likely to have back pain than those who don’t smoke, because the nicotine in cigarettes constricts the microvessels and reduces the nutrients that feed the spine, and the spinal lamina function gradually deteriorates, causing soreness. Smoking is bad for your health, including the health of your spine, so quitting is good for your overall health.
Sleeping
The spine is under the least pressure when lying down, so moderate rest can also help reduce back pain, lying on your back with a pillow under your knees or lying on your side with a pillow between your feet can help reduce spine stress. In addition, the mattress texture should be soft and hard, too soft a mattress will make the spine sag, the hard mattress can not match the spine curve, and there is no way to provide good support for it. At the same time, the pillow height should be moderate, lying on the side to fall asleep, the pillow height should be the same as the shoulder width, and the pillow width should be 1.5 times the shoulder width as far as possible; addition, do not choose a mattress that is too soft or too hard, which can also lead to spinal deformation.
Sport
You can properly carry out aerobic exercise, such as swimming, jogging, etc., to help the muscles around the spine to exercise, you can also try plank and other actions to exercise the back muscles, which is conducive to spinal protection. In addition, patients can also try arm extension, neck rotation, and other operations, also beneficial to spinal health;
Control Your Weight
The spine of overweight people is under greater pressure, the weight control within the normal range is conducive to the protection of the spine, usually do not eat too much greasy food and high-sugar drinks, eat more vitamin-rich vegetables and lean meat, to maintain weight, do not damage the spine.
Conclusion
The protection of spinal health should not be underestimated, we should maintain good living habits in normal life, have a healthy diet and daily rest, to ensure physical health and protect spinal health.
