Do you suffer from several aches and pains, like backache? You are not alone there. Majority have this irritating problem, irritating because it means a sleepless night and thus disruption of normal life. But, you would be surprised to know that major culprit behind these aches is you.
Here are a few habits that are causing you aches,
Sitting for too long
Did you know that sitting on your desk, working for hours on end, could be doing you harm? Experts say that sitting puts 40 per cent more pressure on your spine than standing. When working for hours on end, most of us tend to forget to keep a check on our posture. Plus, when there are deadlines to be met, most of us skip meals and coffee breaks and keep working.
Junk food
Those who suffer from back pain probably have clogged arteries as well. Healthy circulation is necessary to avoid inflammation on. Reducing your daily intake of caffeine and unhealthy processed foods can help as does consuming more whole grains, nuts and vegetables and fruit.
Carrying the load
Your bag shouldn’t weigh more than 10 per cent of your body weight and alternating the shoulder you carry it on can also help.
Bed trouble
Haven’t replaced your mattress since you were a child? Avoid the money saving tactic and ensure you get a new one every seven years. Sleeping on an old and worn out mattress can cause backache. Pick one that’s not too soft nor too hard. Firm mattresses can put pressure on the spine.
Heel disaster
Yes, women love them but continual wearing of heels can cause foot instability and hurt your ur back. High heels make you arch your back, while flat chappal like sandals can give a poor grip. Restrict your usage of these shoes to minimal. You will be doing your foot a favor!
