We all have them. This little aches twinges and pains that happen
every time we stand up, sit down, twist, turn, or do just about anything. It’s all certainly very
irritating but not really bad enough to go and see a doctor, or any other sort
of medical professional.
So, what do you do? Obviously ‘just
putting up with it’ all
is a simple solution, but you’ve
probably tried that one for a while now and it hasn’t worked out that great. Hopefully, sooner rather than
later you’ll
see there are a few quick and easy things you can do to relieve the discomfort
and frustration.
These are by no means a complete list but do provide an excellent
starting point.
#1 Get enough sleep
Adults need between 7-9 hours sleep a night and if
you’re
not getting that, you are taking more out of your body than you are giving
back, and those aches and pains are its way of telling you this. Try avoiding
late nights out or even later nights in, and improve the quality of your sleep
by spending less time staring at a screen before bedtime.
Improvements in sleeping habits have shown noticeable results
very quickly and drastic improvements in the longer term.
#2 Are you drinking enough
water?
Many of your pains, especially lower back pain can be eased by simply drinking more water.
Around three-quarters of your joint cartilage is water, so it doesn’t take any great
stretches of imagination to see why dehydration is a problem. In fact, dehydration can be the root cause of
minor irritating headaches that make every day worse.
Unfortunately, the 8 cups of coffee we have at the office might
not solve the problem so experts recommend that drinking around half a gallon
of water a day (not all at once, though).
#3 Modern solutions
In recent years, more and more people have turned to CBD oil and
its products for pain relief. The breaking down of misinformation regarding
this popular solution has seen a surge in use and positive endorsements from
grateful customers.
Despite this, there is still a large amount of gossip
surrounding its use and whether it’s
addictive or even illegal to use. You can find more information dispelling
these and other myths at platinumcbduk.com.
#4 Your Body Temperature
Lower temperatures can
make the fluids around your joints thicker, which in turn makes
those joints stiffer. When you also add in the fact that we tend are less
active when it is colder outside, this adds to the woes of those with stiff and
painful joints all through the winter.
There is probably a reason then, why taking a nice warm bath is
the answer to many problems involving sore and painful muscles and joints.
So there you have it, three very traditional solutions and one
more modern one. Hopefully, by using one of them (or maybe a combination of all
four) you’ll
be able to find a way to ease those aches and pains. However, it must be
stressed that if the pains worsen or persist, then it really is time to see a
doctor.
