I was thinking of a good topic to post today, unluckily my brain is still dead. Instead, I browse my Archives from my old blog site and look for something interesting to re-post. Honestly, my old blog site got more interesting and informative(sometimes weird) posts than my current blog site. Please bear with me, I’ll do better once I’m already fix and heartache free.

Without further a do, here’s a re-post about me dealing with back pain until now! See the original post here.

In today’s computer-based business world, workers spend 40 hours or more a week facing the computer monitors including me. One of the common problem we encounter is the back pain. It may lead to poor posture. Sometimes we are unaware that we are not in the good posture while at work so there’s a tendency that we look like grandparents. Then if we notice it we will fix our posture but then again as we continue to work we forget (again and again).

I got this back pain for quite a long time, sometimes it goes away, sometimes it misses me and it will return. Hmmm.. Hope this not similar to the Shutter film.

Here are 5 helpful tips: (Source and Read More:NaturalHealthWeb.com)

1.) Watch your posture, especially at work. Over time, office workers with muscle imbalances from a continually slumped posture may develop rounded shoulders and a forward neck posture, leading to chronic back and neck pain.

2.) Get regular exercise that uses all of your major muscle groups. Even with the best posture at work, our bodies simply were not designed to be sitting in front of a computer all day. Muscles kept at bent positions for long periods can become contracted and may become difficult to fully extend when doing other tasks.

3.) Try to take regular stretch breaks at your desk. Set a timer to remind you to take a break every 30 minutes, or purchase software with a window that pops up with simple stretches you can do at your desk.

4.) Try yoga for back pain prevention and pain relief.(I don’t even know how to do this!) Yoga is often helpful for back pain sufferers, as performing a variety of different types of postures generally help to stretch and strengthen all of the body’s major muscles groups. Yoga can help prevent back pain by keeping muscles balanced, moving freely, and by lengthening and “decompressing” restricted areas of tightness.

5.) Eat a healthy diet of whole foods, making sure to consume a variety of foods high in magnesium. Among hundreds of other functions, magnesium is the mineral the body needs to release muscle contractions. Magnesium is also important for getting a good night sleep, which is also important for back pain sufferers. Studies show that people with inadequate intakes of magnesium often develop sleeplessness and, even after falling asleep initially, may wake frequently during the night. Hmm.. I guess I need magnesium. Lots of it! I can’t sleep early and if I’m in bed I keep on turning around I can’t sleep well.

Hope this tips help, I am still dealing with this problem until now and I don’t know what to do about it. Maybe I’ll see a doctor just to be sure I am still healthy.
