4. Limit The Video Games
Kids, adolescents and even adults
are encouraged to play games
because it develops a lot of
interpersonal skills that we need in
our daily lives, but video games are
particularly discouraged by most
experts. It doesn’t just make
individuals restricted in the couch
and the screen but it increases your
chances to get back pains and
headaches as well.
5. Lose Weight
Obesity promotes a lot of illnesses
and that includes back pain,
especially if your mid-section is
particularly heavy. It adds
pressure to your spine which
when not remedied early on
results to spinal conditions. Forget
Victoria Secret models’ body, all
you have to do is weigh accordingly
to your height, age and nature of
living.
6. Stay Active
Along with proper diet, exercise is
also necessary to maintain a healthy
body and keep back pains at bay. You
don’t have to join a triathlon to
achieve that, low-impact activities
that will strengthen your core, keep
your heart pumping and your blood
flowing will do.
7. Utilize Ergonomics
Most of the people who complains
about back pains are those who are
in a desk bound jobs, that’s no
surprise since being in one position
for long periods of time such as
sitting and standing can really be
hard for your spine. Make sure you
maintain the proper sitting or
standing position and utilize
furniture or equipment that will
support proper posture.
8. Take Bed Time Seriously
Minimum of 40 hours a week at work
and sleep less than that and you’ll surely
feel the boomerang effect in your body.
But 8 hours of shut eye everyday doesn’t
mean you’re doing okay either, you have
to sleep in the right position for you to
get the benefits of sleep. Pillow between
the legs for side sleepers and under both
knees for back sleepers, and for the
stomach sleepers, though this position is
highly discouraged but if you can only
sleep in this position, you can put the
pillow under your abdomen.

Herbal Medicines And
Alternative Treatment
If the pain is really something you can’t
tolerate anymore, you can try ginger tea
which is known to reduce the
inflammation or alternative treatments
such as therapies or chiropractic care if
you’re all for natural remedies. Back pain
sufferers over the years have responded
well to spinal manipulation, but before
trying anything be sure you have
consulted your primary health care
provider.
10. Meditate
Sometimes the pain is all in our head,
what the mind can conceive the body can
achieve right? If that’s the case for you,
meditation is a good way to clear your
mind and instead of thinking about the
pain it can avert your attention to
something else. In addition to that, a
recent study at the University of
Manchester shows that those who
meditate have higher threshold for
pain.
