If the human body is a building
Our bones are the reinforced concrete that supports the building
The bones are not strong
The building is certainly unstable
Except for sports injuries
Our daily habits
It can also cause damage to bones and joints
Today we will talk about it
Seven daily actions to destroy the waist, destroy the knee, and destroy the whole body!
Squatting to choose dishes, washing, and wiping the floor
Destroy the knee
Studies have shown that the weight of the knees is zero when lying flat, 1 to 2 times the weight of oneself when standing up and walking peacefully, 4 times the weight of running, and 8 times the weight of squatting and kneeling!
The elderly and obese people (BMI≥25kg/㎡) try not to squat or reduce squat time, preferably not more than 20 minutes. If the elderly squat and get up, they should also support the table and chair, which can reduce the pressure on the knee joint.
Climb the stairs
When going up and down stairs or climbing mountains, the knees bear 3 to 5 times the usual weight, which can accelerate joint aging and seriously damage the joint.
Moreover, when people are old, their balance will also deteriorate, and they will fall and fracture their hips if they climb stairs badly. Due to the high age of the elderly, many comorbidities, poor physical foundation, relatively troublesome fracture treatment, and high fatality rate.
Hip fractures in the elderly are known as the "last fracture in life" of the elderly, so the elderly are recommended to take the elevator as much as possible, if you climb the stairs, you must grasp the handrails to maintain physical balance.
Nestled in the sofa
Destroy the lumbar spine
Nestled in the couch, in bed watching TV, reading the newspaper, playing with the phone, it is very pleasant to watch, but this pair of lumbar spine is simply a devastation.
The original curvature of the above actions is forced to change, and the pressure of the lumbar disc increases during the normal physiological bending to the lumbar curvature and straightening, which accelerates the degeneration of the intervertebral disc, which may lead to muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, scoliosis and so on over time.
Both want to be comfortable in the sofa, but do not want to hurt the body, you can put a pillow behind the body, on the one hand to provide support for the waist, reduce muscle strain, on the other hand, try to maintain the physiological curvature of the lumbar vertebrae bulge, so that there will not be too much pressure on the lumbar spine.
Straighten your knees and bend down to lift heavy objects
Anyone who flashes around the waist knows how terrible this kind of action is. When you straighten your knees and bend down to lift heavy objects, you can't use the strength of the muscles around your hips and knees.
At this time, the lumbar fascia and muscle ligaments are often injured due to excessive burden and sudden force. After the age of 50, people with especially lumbar spondylosis must avoid it.
When we take a heavy object, we have to take three steps: the first step, the body is closer to the heavy object; the second step, bending the knees and bending the hips, holding the object steady with both hands; the third step, stretching the knee and stretching the hip, using the strength of the leg muscles to support the body to stand up slowly.
Play with your phone down
Destroy the cervical spine
On the bus, on the subway, at home, you can see people playing with their mobile phones down everywhere, however, this action is simply a disaster for the cervical spine!
If you look down at your phone and tablet, your neck is equivalent to hanging a small chubby mound, and this huge pressure eventually leads to stiffness or regurgitation of the cervical spine.
Look down at the phone for no more than 15 minutes, it is best to keep the phone at eye level or slightly lower, keep the head upright, do not hunch over the chest.
Take a nap on your stomach
Destroying the cervical spine is also not conducive to maintaining the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, which eventually leads to cervical spondylosis. Especially in some people with neck and shoulder pain, sleeping on their stomach may aggravate the symptoms.
Like playing with a mobile phone with your head down, taking a nap on your stomach will increase the pressure in the cervical disc, and keep the neck muscles in a state of uncoordinated stress for a long time, and the muscle ligaments will be stretched and strained, resulting in cervical spine hyperplasia.
In severe cases, compression of nerve roots, vertebral arteries, etc. causes a series of "uncomfortable" or "painful" conditions.
Nap is best to lie down, you can also sit on a chair, behind the waist, behind the neck cushion, the body slightly back, a simple rest can be.
Stilted legs
Destroy the spine
When the legs of the stilted Erlang are tilted, the pelvis is tilted, the lumbar spine is unevenly forced, and the spine arches while leaning forward, which can easily cause spinal strain, deformation, and even lead to lumbar disc herniation for a long time. Therefore, the sitting posture should be like a bell, try not to stilt erlang's legs.
