5 ways to keep your back strong

Five tricks to relieve your back.

• Heavy bag? Take it regularly in your other hand. Or better:take a backpack, this way you divide the load over both shoulders.
• Don't always walk in high heels; they increase the curvature of your back, which can cause problems with your back and knees.
• Do you have to sit or stand for a long time? Try to walk around or stretch the limbs every twenty minutes.
• Adopt a correct posture; draw the chest and shrug the shoulders down and back.
• For men:do not carry a well-filled wallet in your back pocket; this can put pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause back pain.
• Do exercises to strengthen your core. If you often suffer from back pain, strong abdominal and back muscles can make an important difference to your complaints.
