Top 10 causes of lower backache

Top 10 causes of lower backache

You have a niggling pain in your lower back and can’t figure out what’s causing it. We present, some of the most common causes of lower backache.

If all those advertisements of backache-relief balms, creams and sprays are anything to go by, lower backache is one of the most common conditions afflicting people in daily life. While the intensity might range from mild discomfort to seriously debilitating pain, it’s important to figure out the cause and of the backache and then go about rectifying it.

Top 10 causes of lower backache

  1. Bad posture – We are all guilty of bad posture at some point or another in our daily lives. Sitting incorrectly at your work desk or computer, slouching on the couch while watching television and twisting your back awkwardly while sitting, standing or walking can all produce a strain on the back. This strain manifests as low backache.
  2. Obesity – This lifestyle disease is affecting countless Indians and the clock is ticking. Putting on weight stresses your spine and back muscles by making them work excessively to lug around those extra kilos. In the long run, lower backache will occur as the body groans and can’t take the extra weight anymore.

Sleep More to stay slim


Sleeping more than 8 hours a night may help you stay slim


Melbourne, May 1 (ANI): Adding a few hours sleep to your night may prevent you from gaining weight.
A new study has found that sleeping more than nine hours a night appears to suppress genetic factors that lead to weight gain.
In contrast, getting too little sleep seems to have the opposite effect.
Previous research has shown an association between poor sleep and obesity, but the new findings reveal a complex interaction between sleep and genetic factors linked to body weight.
Scientists made the discovery after studying 1088 pairs of identical and non-identical twins.
Twin studies help researchers unravel genetic and environmental influences. Only identical twins share the same genes, and are therefore subject to the same genetic effects, so differences between them are likely to be due to environmental factors.

Just 3 mins of intense exercise can help burn fat

London, Feb 21 (ANI): Those who feel lazy to go to gym or do not have time to exercise may be literally jumping once they read this news.
Scientists say we don't need to work for hours at the gym to cut flab, as just three minutes of exercise a week could be enough to help you lose weight.
The secret is short bursts ofintense exercise- known as high-intensity interval training.
According Scientists atBirminghamand Nottingham universities, such a session once a week is far more effective at -burning fat than daily workouts, the Daily Express reported.
HIT triggers the release of fat-burning hormones helping to shift those unwanted love handles. It also moves glucose from the blood into muscle tissue where it is burned as energy rather than converted to fat.
And vigorous bursts of physical activity also have the effect of killing your appetite, whereas longer workouts can leave you wanting to eat more.
This means people keen to lose weight would be less likely to be tempted to snack on unhealthy treats if they ditched the gym and went for a short brisk walk.IT sessions can include running, riding a bike or walking.
"HIT is really good at improving glucose uptake into the muscles in a very, very short time,"Professor James Timmons, leading the research at Birmingham, said.
"With really intense exercise, you release hormones that can help break down fat. This may help burn that fat over time, after HIT is done. Also, we think, but don't know, that HIT will subdue appetite, while traditional exercise will stimulate appetite. This last point is key and will be researched by our team," he stated. (ANI)
