I would like to touch upon the topic of scoliosis and osteochondrosis. We live in the 21st century and technology does not stand still. Sedentary work takes its toll, and office workers and freelancers suffer the most. In second place are truckers and all drivers who work a lot. You can also add dentists to this list, since they are immobile every day.

What are osteochondrosis and scoliosis?
What should I do to fix this problem?
What can happen if the problem is not resolved in time?
Bottom line.

There are no healthy people in the world - this is a fact; there are no examinations of patients who did not go to the hospital to find out their diagnosis. All people get sick and suffer.

What are osteochondrosis and scoliosis?

Scoliosis and osteochondrosis are pathologies of the spinal column that accompany each other. Scoliosis is associated with poor posture in the lateral projection, and with osteochondrosis, destruction of the intervertebral discs is observed.

What should I do to fix this problem?

You know, this is the problem that if it gets too bad, it can only be done surgically. The best way is not to bring it to this state, but due to our generation this is unrealistic..

But anyway?

1. More movement.

We are born to move, if we stop moving, then the muscles atrophy, they become weak.

When you work at a computer, you don’t notice how your shoulders move forward and you take the wrong posture.

Remember, a straight back is a habit; if you can develop this habit, you will have much fewer health problems.

Take breaks between work, get up and just do any physical activity: push-ups, pull-ups, or hanging on a horizontal bar, walking, etc.

2.Therapeutic physical education.

I recommend purchasing a practice mat.

1. First exercise: lie flat on the mat, arms together straight, pull your shoulders back and thereby align our thoracic spine.

2. Second exercise: cat pose, kneel down, bend and pull your arms forward and your back as low as possible. A very good exercise to relieve pain and relax your back muscles.

3. Third exercise: stand between the doorway, you need to lean on the doorway with your left and right hands, and tilt your torso forward. You should feel your back working in the thoracic region.

4. Fourth exercise: hang on the horizontal bar, hang on the bar for 30-60 seconds. The spine will be stretched and relieve spasms and triggers.

IMPORTANT, do everything under control and carefully, slowly.

What can happen if the problem is not resolved in time?

A misalignment of the spine can cause internal organs to become deformed and cause discomfort.
For example, there may be difficulty breathing and chest pain.
Constant back pain, you will feel uncomfortable standing, sitting and sleeping..
Headaches, pain in the temples, dizziness.
Panic attacks, anxiety and neurosis may develop.

Bottom line: My dears, watch your back, otherwise you will face health problems in the future. Do your exercises on time and rest while working at the computer.

Be healthy, and don’t forget to read our blog.

You've probably tried to eat a lot, but nothing worked? Oh, how I understand you.. I’ll try to help you in this matter and tell you what you did wrong.

Article content:

Tip 1: Eat more calories.
Tip 2: Mode.
Tip 3: Eat healthy fats.
Tip 4: Physical activity.

Tip 1: Eat more calories.

Eat more calories than you move.

I can assume that if you are a thin person, then you walk a lot and quickly. Don't rush, walk slower, because life is beautiful.

How to count calories?

For men: 10×weight (kg)+6.25×height (cm) - 5×age (g)+5.

For women: 10×weight (kg) + 6.25×height (cm) - 5×age (g) - 161.

Tip 2: Mode.

The most important thing in gaining body weight is your food intake.

Make your own daily routine when it's convenient for you to eat. It is recommended to eat up to 5 times in medium portions and snacks. It’s important not to overload your stomach to the point where you can’t even breathe, you don’t need to do this, and even more so it’s dangerous for your health.

Tip 3: Eat healthy fats.

Not only are they good for the body, but they also prevent fat loss.

Regular consumption of healthy fats also prevents health problems (heart disease).

Here's a short list of healthy fats:

Walnuts.
Pumpkin seeds.
Olive oil.
Avocado.
Red fish.
(Faty fish contain huge amounts of omega-3 sources).

Tip 4: Physical activity.

Exercise and eat more calories than you burn.

It is recommended to do basic exercises:

Push ups.
Pull-ups.
Squats. (this is the blog author’s favorite exercise). By the way, squats use the most muscles in our body. I recommend paying more attention to squats in order to gain muscle mass. After all, squats are not only about legs and quadriceps. Squats use the core muscles of the core, back, and spinal stabilizer. The heart muscle also works very well in squats.

Have you ever wondered how sports affects our brain?

No? Then let's look at this together.

Healthy blood vessels.

The brain has many blood vessels, and when a person exercises regularly, physical activity improves brain function through the cardiovascular system.

Neurons in the brain.

When performing exercises, 65 billion nerve cells are involved. Just think about it, 65 billion in 90.

Do as many new movements as possible to engage as many neurons in your brain as possible. Dancing is great because it has a lot of complex moves.

International studies have shown that walking, running and cycling improve memory and make it easier to remember words in a foreign language.

As for mood, there is an expression: runner's euphoria after a long run. Whatever you do, the more you move, the more uplifted you will feel.

Research shows that people who practice yoga suffer less from stress, panic attacks and depression. The area of the brain responsible for stress simply shrinks.

Walking improves thinking.

Have you ever noticed that you don't have any ideas, but as soon as you step outside, creative ideas immediately come to your mind? This is your brain telling you "thanks for the walk."

If you want to stay healthy in the coming years, you should move more, take regular walks, and avoid sitting at computers for long periods of time.

Did you know that the best exercise for your heart is push-ups? The most affordable and most effective.

Perhaps, along with running, walking, Nordic walking, it can stand next to push-ups.

An experiment was conducted for many years, people regularly did push-ups for just one minute. It is believed that if you do more than 30 times in one minute, everything is fine with your heart.

Participants in the experiment suffered much less from heart disease, and their overall health was excellent.

If you want to live to a ripe old age, nurse your grandchildren and live a carefree life, then I recommend combining light running with push-ups.

You can and should do push-ups every day in one approach more than 30 times, the main thing is that it should be done in one minute without resting.

I especially strongly recommend doing push-ups to those people who work at a computer. Take care of your health from a young age so that you don’t suffer from complications in old age.

Do you, your child, husband or loved one spend a lot of time on the computer or telephone? Then this is a wake-up call. Start acting immediately so that it is not too late!

Symptoms
Causes of physical inactivity.
If you don't treat it on time, what could happen?
What should we do anyway?

If you are an office worker or work from home, then you may develop such an ailment - physical inactivity.

This is a decrease in activity and an incorrect lifestyle. This problem is popular all over the world, since with human technology people have become more involved with gadgets. Most of the people who suffer are programmers and designers, as they constantly sit near the computer day and night.

Symptoms.

Due to the fact that you constantly sit, your muscles simply atrophy, blood flows poorly to the tissues, thereby causing hypoxia of the organs.

Typical symptoms may be:

Weakness, decreased performance.
Headache.
Sleep disorders.
Psychological problems (neurosis, stress, panic attacks).
Stomach problems.
Trouble breathing, feeling of pressure in the chest.
Amyotrophy.

Causes of physical inactivity.

Very often this happens because you cannot organize your daily routine correctly: work, rest, family matters. Those who work remotely are mostly affected.

Abuse of social networks, gambling addiction. This is what prevents you from exercising.
Obesity, which leads to a sedentary lifestyle.
Drivers (truck drivers, couriers, taxi drivers).
Having a disability that prevents you from moving.

If you don’t treat it on time, what could happen?

Breathing problems.
Obesity.
Atherosclerosis.
Depressive disorder.
Heart diseases.

What should we do anyway?

Any doctor will tell you that you should do physical therapy.

This could be walking, brisk walking, running, climbing stairs, or any aerobic exercise.

Try to do minimal exercise while working. If you work as a programmer, then take breaks every 2 hours, go outside, or just do aerobic exercise while sitting at home or in the office.

It will be a useful tradition for you to take a walk before going to bed; besides, after a long day of work, your brain will only thank you for it.

It is very important to pay due attention to the cervical spine, as it is very fragile and should be protected. If there is compression in the neck, then the following problems arise from this:

High blood pressure
Bad feeling.
Nervousness, depression, stress.
Panic attacks.

Why is this happening? Because blood flow to the brain is poor and it is difficult for the brain to work.

Only the most practical and valid tips for losing weight. Have you been overweight for a long time? Nothing helps? Then let's figure out how to fix it..

Article content:

Tip 1: Calorie deficit.
Tip 2: There is no need to rush anywhere.
Tip 3: Pay attention to the amount of protein you consume daily.
Tip 4: Aerobic exercise.
Tip 5: Don't forget about strength training.

Tip 1: Calorie deficit.

It has been proven that the fewer calories you consume per day, the more your body fat decreases. The body begins to mobilize stored fat for survival.

An experiment was conducted in the USA in which more than 30 people were asked to consume an average of 1,200-1,600 calories per day. During this experiment, all participants lost from 80 to 50-55 kg over six months.

Tip 2: There is no need to rush anywhere.

Have you heard this expression?: If you hurry, you will make people laugh.

Everything needs to be done gradually, since excessive weight loss is harmful to health. It is recommended to lose weight by 1.5 kg per week.

Of course, if you are overweight, the rate of weight loss will be faster.

At first the speed will increase, but after a while it will slow down.

Tip 3: Pay attention to the amount of protein you consume daily.

During weight loss, it is recommended to consume 1.5-2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight.

Tip 4: Aerobic exercise.

Always do aerobic exercise.

Walk or run a lot.

Whether it's an hour, an hour and a half, or two hours, burn enough calories during that time.

But in practice, it doesn’t matter what the aerobic activity is, what matters is how long you do it. The longer you exercise, the more calories you burn.

Tip 5: Don't forget about strength training.

In addition to running and fast walking, you need to signal the muscles in your body to move.

Muscles burn the most calories.

If you don't signal to your body that you need muscle, muscle will be used up faster than fat.

I recommend three exercises:

Squats.
Push ups.
Pull-ups.

Tired of taking pills? as I understand you, I myself suffered from this, it started at a young age due to physical inactivity, tablets give temporary results in reducing blood pressure, but not for a long time in the long term.. In this article I will tell you about the best exercises to combat high blood pressure (hypertension).

In fact, the most ordinary walking comes first.

I advise you to walk on a treadmill if time and finances allow. A treadmill will give you versatility. You can adjust the walking speed and incline. This path is an affordable, safe and effective way.

The main goal of training is to remain in the target zone for a long time, so that the heart rate is approximately 110 - 120 beats per minute.

How to measure? I advise you to buy a heart rate monitor for your wrist, it’s a very convenient thing.

But if it is not possible to visit the gym, then any other place where you can safely walk will do.

Walk uphill (uphill) more often so that there is an intense load on the heart. How long should you walk? - 30 minutes of intense exercise is enough, keeping your heart rate in the target zone of 110-120 beats per minute.

However, walking alone is not enough to combat high blood pressure. Any long-term aerobic cyclic exercise is suitable for us.

Also avoid drinking alcohol, coffee and strong black tea.

I advise you to read our article: 7 tips on how to stay slim and healthy - In this article you will find tips that will help reduce blood pressure, the main thing is to do this regularly (this is important).

Do you know why I called it addiction? Because food addiction is no different from drugs, alcohol, or gambling addiction.

People have been eating junk food in large quantities for years, but they don’t notice that something is wrong, and they only notice it when it’s no longer possible to walk and exist normally.

People who suffer from this addiction, for them food is the purpose of their life, they think about it until they fall asleep, and when they wake up they immediately remember it.

How to deal with this?

Where do the roots come from??

Mainly from childhood, since a small child is exposed to violence, bullying, etc. The child begins to close himself off from the world and seek solace in food.

It is also not uncommon for a child’s parents to drink, quarrel, and ultimately get divorced.

For a child, this is an emotional nervous breakdown, so there is a defensive reaction, they begin to eat more and go into their mysterious reality.

If you do nothing, what could happen?

The knee joints will begin to constantly hurt and wear out due to the constant load on them. (arthrosis of the knee joint) When you are overweight, your heart works hard, every second there is a risk that your heart will not withstand the load. It is necessary to take immediate measures to bring your health back to normal and not die. If you are 20-25 years old, due to problems with obesity, your body inside will feel like it is 40-50, you will not be able to live to old age and your family will bury you.

How to deal with this?

You need people around you to stop feeding you sweets and junk food. Agree, it's hard to lose weight when someone eats a hamburger and you eat lettuce? All family members should adhere to proper nutrition, as well as morally support you in this.
You should eat a high protein, low carb diet of 1200 calories per day.
Don't snack, this is very important!
Changing your lifestyle, yes, it will not be easy for you to do this, but your family and close circle of people should help.
Aerobic exercise, walk and move more. (Don't lie on the couch) I recommend walking 20-30 minutes a day.
Drink water. How to calculate how much you need to drink? Water = body weight (kg) × 30 ml, that is, if a person weighs 60 kilograms, then this is 1.8 liters per day. 60 * 0.30 = 18.
Do not hesitate to visit a psychotherapist, since all problems start from childhood, a psychologist will be able to find the right approach and help you. (it really works, just try it, the main thing is don’t be afraid of help)
In severe cases, bariatric surgery may be required. Bariatric surgery is the surgical change of the stomach, intestines, or both organs for the purpose of weight loss. This operation is very popular in the USA and is performed by Dr. Nowzaradan. His clinic is located in Houston, and everyone in the city knows about his clinic.

Tip 6: Go to bed and get up at the same time.
Tip 7: Take a shower.

Tip 1: Drink a glass of water

Water regulates the functioning of the circulatory system, thins the blood and supplies organs and tissues with oxygen.

If you don't drink water, your blood thickens and becomes more prone to forming blood clots.

Tip 2: Run before breakfast.

If you don’t have the opportunity to go outside, it’s snowing or raining, you can run up the stairs in your apartment.

It is important to give your body vigorous exercise and control your heart rate.

For people with cardiovascular diseases, the pulse rate should not exceed 120 beats/min (important).

Any periodic aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, climbing stairs, light jogging or cycling, is acceptable.

Tip 3: Exercises for joints.

What exercises should you do?:

Legs and ankle joints.
Knees
Hip joints.
Shoulders.
Neck.

Tip 4: Strength training.

These exercises should be performed two to three times a week:

Squats.
Gluteal bridge.
Crunches (abdominals).
Boat exercises.
Push ups.
Pull-ups.

The number of repetitions depends on your skill level, but don't watch the number of repetitions if you are a beginner.

Learn to feel your body and if you feel like you can't do it anymore, don't do it. Remember that there is nothing more important than your health, and there is only one health, so do everything little by little and without fanaticism.

Tip 5: Nutrition.

Don't eat breakfast before exercise. Exercises should always be done on an empty stomach.

It is recommended to consume fiber. Nutrients are necessary for sufficient functioning of the body.

Fiber: It is recommended to consume 30-40g of dietary fiber per day.

It is fiber that supports the normal functioning of our body.

It is recommended to purchase an electronic scale and record the amount of food you eat.

Tip 6: Go to bed and get up at the same time.

Go to bed and get up at the same time to avoid headaches and chronic fatigue.

You shouldn't fiddle with your phone at night and hope to feel good. In the modern world it is very difficult to live without gadgets, but gadgets are ruining us. Therefore, you should not look at your phone before going to bed.

Tip #7: Take a shower.

If you don't feel like drinking coffee in the morning, take a cold shower.

Cold showers give you more energy

It is important not to take it for too long to avoid getting sick.
