| 10 Healthy Back Tips |
- Exercise regularly- This does not have to be anything overly strenuous. Something as simple as a daily walk can make a huge difference.
- Eat a healthy diet- Proper nutrients allow the body to repair itself easier
- Maintain good posture- Are you sitting up straight as you read this?
- Stretch your spine before and after sports- This will also help to loosen up the surrounding muscles.
- Don't overload your backpack or purse- Remember to carry it over both shoulders to balance the load (if possible).
- Stretch your legs and back after each hour of sitting- Whether in a car or at a desk, stretching regularly will help to keep you from tightening up or injuring yourself further.
- Never cradle the phone between your neck and shoulder
- Sleep on your back or side, not on your stomach- This helps to keep your spine in line and reduces the risk of hurting your neck while you sleep.
- Invest in a good chair, pillow and mattress- When you think about the amount of time you use these things each day, it's worth it.
- Drink water, especially upon awakening when you are dehydrated after the full nights sleep.
