Steps You Can Take
Remember, slow and steady wins the race here, so don't give up! Even small improvements can make a huge difference in the amount of pain you feel. Here are some simple tips you can try to add into your daily lifestyle that can get you back on the road to optimal health and pain-free days.
- Exercise - Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of low-impact exercise into your daily routine. If 30 minutes is too challenging, break it up into smaller bits of time.
- Intensity - Start with baby steps and increase your intensity, frequency, and distance over time. The great thing about low-impact exercises is that you can change your pace quite easily.
- Diet - Take out the bad and add in more of the good. Make sure your meals are filled with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and heart-healthy fats. Control your portion sizes too!
- Sleep - Stick to a consistent bedtime routine and make sure your bedroom is a sleep-friendly environment.
