Four Habits of a Happy Spine
We
often experience pain when something isn't working properly. By that
logic, feeling good would mean that everything is working fine, right?
Not always. Because it's often easier to tell when your spine isn't as
healthy as it could be, we'd like to share four habits of a happy,
healthy spine.
1. It's carried well.
For a healthy spine,
good posture is crucial. This doesn't mean just standing up straight
when you're moving about, but also being conscious of how you sit when
you're at work or home and even how you sleep in your bed.
2. There's always time for exercise.
A
happy, healthy spine needs regular exercise to function well. So,
what's the best way to exercise your spine? Work the muscles around it
like your abs so they're strong enough to maintain its proper position.
3. It gets proper nutrients.
When
we eat healthily, chances are we're more conscious of how it may help
our clothes fit well than what it does for our nervous system. A healthy
diet high in leafy greens and vegetables can help our body better
accommodate stress and allow our nervous system to function optimally.
4. Your spine is well rested.
Not
getting enough sleep each night can wreak havoc on our entire
body—including our spine. Your spine helps you stay upright all day, and
it needs its time to relax and rejuvenate just like the rest of you.
Make sure your spine is supported during sleep and avoid stomach slumber
when possible.
