Experts in Health experts recommend following a number of rules to prevent back pain after a night's sleep.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the telegram channel “Blog about health”.
It is noted that failure to observe the correct posture and sleeping conditions can lead to excessive tension in the back muscles, deformation of the intervertebral discs, as well as compression of nerves and blood vessels.
Advice No. 1
The main factor is the correct choice of sleeping position. Experts say that the most optimal sleeping positions are lying on your back or on your side. Sleeping on your back helps to evenly distribute body weight over its entire surface, which minimizes the risk of muscle strain and pain. This position is recognized as the most physiological for maintaining a healthy back.
Tip #2
To maintain the natural curves of the spine, it is recommended to use a pillow under the knees or a rolled-up towel under the lower back when sleeping on your back. If you prefer to sleep on your side, it is recommended to place a pillow between the knees, which helps reduce the load on the spine and promotes complete muscle relaxation.
Tip #3
The duration of sleep also plays an important role in preventing back pain. Experts advise limiting night sleep to 8 hours. Staying in bed for a long time can lead to muscle strain, deformation of intervertebral discs and increased pressure on nerve endings, which often causes discomfort or pain.
Experts also presented a fruit that can help you fall asleep at night.
