Read article →Useful Health Tips
Sit with a straight back
Keep your back supported, feet on the floor and screen at eye level, and get up and move every 30 to 45 minutes.
Lift loads the right way
Bend your knees, not your back, keep the load close to your body and avoid twisting while lifting.
Strengthen your muscles and keep your weight
Strong muscles and a healthy weight protect the back and knees from wear and strain.
Calcium and vitamin D
Dairy and moderate sun exposure support the bones. Do not take high-dose supplements without a test and advice.
Suitable shoes
Choose comfortable shoes with a shock-absorbing sole and avoid high heels for long periods.
Do not ignore lasting pain
Pain that grows or lasts more than two weeks, or comes with numbness or weakness, needs an early examination.
