Low back pain can happen for multiple reasons, but regardless of the cause, the team at HIM will help figure out what to do about it!
How Can You Prevent Low Back Pain?
- You can’t go wrong being strong!
- The stronger you are, especially in the middle of the body, the more protected you will be from back pain
- Cardio is king!
- Getting in the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended minutes of cardiovascular activity (150 min/week moderate OR 75 min/week high intensity) not only protects you from heart disease and a whole host of other things but kicks out these really cool things called endorphins. Endorphins are your body’s natural morphine-like pain killer and they are strong. An hour of high intensity cardio activity produces 3x the amount of pain killer usually allowed to be given in the emergency room… naturally!
- Eat more plants, have less sugar
- Sugar is the number one food ingredient which promotes pain throughout the body
- Dietary fiber is the best nutrient we have at clearing out inflammatory chemicals and a host of other cellular waste.
- The place where we see the best ratio of high fiber and low sugar is in plants (eat your veggies!)
- Better sleep = less pain
- Sleep and pain are tied directly together. Getting good on sleep hygiene habits (link to other section of the site with sleep hygiene habits?) can be very helpful
- Mindfulness is Money!
- The ability to be present in the moment while calmly acknowledging your thoughts and what you are feeling inside your body. Control a brain that is in pain, you control pain!
