How to reduce chances of lower back pain
It’s not always possible to prevent low back pain. But the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says there are things you can do to help keep it away:

Today’s Health Tips

* Get plenty of regular exercise, including aerobics and exercises to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles.

* When carrying heavy objects, lift with your legs, not your back. Always bend at the knees with a straight back; don’t bend over.

* If you’re overweight, lose those extra pounds to reduce stress on the lower back muscles.

* Don’t smoke. Smoking contributes to degeneration of the spine.

* Maintain good posture, especially while sitting, lifting objects and standing.
