What should we pay attention to in order to prevent lumbar disc herniation?

The age of onset of lumbar disc herniation is mostly concentrated between 50 and 60 years old. Although disc degeneration is an inevitable part of human aging, factors such as being overweight or obese, improper exercise, sitting for long periods of time, bending over to lift heavy objects, smoking, etc. can aggravate disc herniation, and even some young people may experience lumbar disc herniation. In daily life, you should pay attention to controlling your weight, avoid sitting for long periods of time, try to choose a moderately hard mattress when sleeping, and do some exercises to exercise your waist muscles.

People who work at desks for long periods of time should adjust the height of their desks and chairs, and the position of their computers. Keep the spine straight, and maintain the normal physiological curves of the head, neck, and chest. It is best to have a backrest with a certain backward tilt angle so that the lumbar spine can be supported and not suspended in the air, and the material should be hard or relatively hard. People who sit for long periods of time are advised to get up and walk around every 30 to 60 minutes, stretch their muscles, and relax their body and mind. Do not stay in one posture for too long.
