The following steps can help protect your back and reduce your risk:
- Maintain good posture
Try to follow good posture techniques while you are sitting, standing, lifting objects, and sleeping because it helps to relieve pressure on your lower back.
- Avoid smoke
Nicotine reduces the blood supply to bones. It weakens the spine and the vertebral disks, which puts more stress on the spine and discs and causes back and spine problems.
- Maintain a healthy weight
Extra weight and a poor diet are the two reasons for inflammation and pain throughout your body. To lose weight or learn healthy eating habits, follow the Mediterranean diet.
- Exercise regularly
Exercise includes stretching to keep your joints flexible and exercises to strengthen the muscles of your lower back and abdomen. These muscles work to support your spine. Also, do not sit for long periods.
- Choose physical activities for your back
Consider low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, yoga, etc.
- Keep yourself safe from falls
Wear shoes that fit and keep stairs, and walkways free of disorder to reduce your chance of a fall. Make sure rooms are well-lighted and there are grip bars in bathrooms and handrails on stairways.
