Protect the lumbar spine!Get rid of these eight bad habits first!
The lumbar spine is one of the most important supporting structures in the human body, it bears the weight of our upper body, and is also responsible for protecting the spinal cord and nerve roots. However, modern people's lifestyle and work habits often lead to the occurrence of lumbar spine diseases, such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, etc. To protect our lumbar spine, we need to break the following eight bad habits:
1.Keeping the same posture for a long time: Keeping the same posture for a long time will keep the lumbar muscles in a state of tension for a long time, which can easily lead to muscle fatigue and lumbar spine diseases. Therefore, we should stand up and move every once in a while to relieve the tension in the lower back muscles.
2.Wrong sitting posture: Wrong sitting posture will increase the burden on the lumbar spine and lead to the occurrence of lumbar spine diseases. The correct sitting posture should be with your back straight, your feet flat on the ground, and try to avoid sitting with your legs crossed for long periods of time.
3.Carrying heavy objects on the shoulders: Carrying heavy objects on the shoulders will over-tension the lumbar muscles, which can easily lead to lumbar spine diseases. We should try to avoid carrying heavy objects, and if we have to carry heavy objects, we should use the correct posture, such as squatting down and using the strength of our legs to carry heavy objects.
4.Incorrect lifting method: Incorrect lifting method will increase the burden on the lumbar spine and lead to the occurrence of lumbar spine diseases. The correct way to lift weights should be to squat down and use the strength of your legs to lift the weight, avoiding bending over to lift the weight.
5.Unsuitable mattresses and pillows: Improper mattresses and pillows will make the lumbar region not get enough support, which can easily lead to the occurrence of lumbar spine diseases. We should choose a mattress and pillow that suits us to maintain the natural curve of our waist.
6.Lack of exercise: Lack of exercise will lead to the relaxation of lumbar muscles, which can not effectively support the lumbar spine, which can easily lead to the occurrence of lumbar spine diseases. We should do regular lower back exercises, such as yoga, swimming, etc., to strengthen the lower back muscles.
7.Unbalanced diet: An unbalanced diet will cause the lumbar muscles to not get enough nutrients, which can easily lead to the occurrence of lumbar spine diseases. We should maintain a balanced diet and eat more foods rich in protein and calcium.
8.Ignoring pain: When pain occurs in the lower back, we should seek medical attention in time instead of ignoring the pain. Ignoring the pain may lead to exacerbation of lumbar spine disease and may even lead to serious complications.
