Maintain the Health of Your Neck and Spine with a Few Simple Tricks

It’s worth highlighting the benefits of exercise, stretching, and rehabilitation. Individuals who regularly engage in sports but neglect warming up before and stretching after training, considering it a waste of time, often experience problems with sleep and turning during sleep. Sometimes even more so than those who lead less active lives.

Muscles warm up during intense exercise, but don’t get a chance to properly relax without stretching, so it’s recommended to combine exercises with weights and cardio with gentler, static exercises like yoga, Pilates, and ballet. In lower-intensity workouts, special attention is paid to lengthening the spine and deep breathing. However, regardless of the intensity of exercise, everyone should occasionally go for a sports massage to prevent the formation of painful myogelosis nodules in the neck, shoulder, and spine area.

Along with exercise, movement, and stretching, it’s essential to think about good nutrition.  Let it be based on a combination of vegetables, chia and flax seeds, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, tuna, and cod. Don’t forget about calcium intake through yogurts, kefirs, and fresh cheeses; your bones will thank you.

Introduce green tea and green vegetables to prevent inflammation in the spine and cartilage area. Additional healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, and the beloved avocado are also essential for maintaining overall health and immunity. Some of the mentioned foods, besides their nutritional benefits, come in the form of essences for skin care and calming during sleep.
