You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
The lumbar spine, as one of the most important parts of our body, carries the weight of our upper body, and also bears extremely important physiological functions. However, due to modern lifestyle changes, lumbar spine problems are becoming more common, especially low back pain symptoms. According to statistics, about 80% of people in China have experienced varying degrees of low back pain, among which diseases such as lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, and lumbar muscle strain are more common. So, what are the causes of worsening low back pain? How can I adjust my daily habits to make my lumbar spine more comfortable?
First, we need to understand the reasons for the worsening of low back pain. In fact, low back pain is often closely related to our daily posture. Holding the same position for long periods of time, especially incorrect posture, can cause uneven pressure on the lumbar spine, which can trigger low back pain. For example, poor posture such as looking down at the mobile phone for a long time, hunched over, and sedentary life will put the lumbar spine in a state of high pressure, resulting in aggravated low back pain. In addition, factors such as overwork, lower back trauma, and climate change may also cause low back pain symptoms to worsen.
So, how can you adjust your daily habits to make your lumbar spine more comfortable?
1. Maintain proper posture.
Correct posture is the foundation of lumbar spine health. In our daily lives, we should always pay attention to maintaining correct posture, whether standing, sitting or lying down. Specifically, when standing, keep your back straight and your feet shoulder-width apart to avoid bending over and hunching over for a long time; When sitting, keep your back straight and your feet flat on the ground to avoid sitting still for a long time; When lying down, keep your waist supported and avoid lying directly on hard ground.
2. Moderate exercise.
Exercise is an important means to maintain the health of the lumbar spine. Moderate exercise can strengthen the lower back muscles and improve the stability of the lumbar spine. However, it should be noted that exercise should be moderate to avoid excessive exercise that will increase the burden on the lumbar spine. It is recommended to choose some low-intensity aerobic exercises, such as walking, swimming, yoga, etc. During exercise, maintain a correct posture to avoid impact on your lower back.
3. Pay attention to waist warmth.
Keeping your waist warm is essential to prevent low back pain. A cold in the lower back can cause tension in the psoas muscles, which can trigger low back pain. Therefore, when the seasons change and the temperature changes greatly, we should pay attention to adding or removing clothes in time to avoid cold at the waist. In addition, you can take some measures to warm your waist in your daily life, such as using hot water bottles, warming your baby, etc.
4. Maintain good living habits.
Good lifestyle habits can help reduce the burden on the lumbar spine. First of all, get enough sleep and avoid staying up late. When sleeping, to keep your lower back comfortable, you can use a proper mattress and pillow. Secondly, it is necessary to arrange work and life reasonably and avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time. During the course of work, every hour or so, get up and move a little to relieve the pressure on your lower back. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the diet, maintain a balanced nutritional intake, and strengthen the body's resistance.
5. Timely medical treatment and **.

Only in this way can our lumbar spine be more comfortable and our quality of life can be improved. Let's work together to protect the health of the lumbar spine and enjoy a better life!
