Women's waist protection strategy: Yoga can exercise waist muscles

Having a slim, flexible and beautiful waist is the dream of many women. But a woman's waist is a health-sensitive area and the health center of the whole body. Excessive fatigue, standing for a long time, wearing low-waist pants... may all cause it to be injured.

Sitting for a long period of time most harms a woman's waist. In women who stand for a long time, the ability to stretch waist tendons and ligaments will be weakened, which can lead to lumbar muscle strain and cause low back pain. In addition, if you don't keep warm properly, you can hurt your waist. "Women are female bodies and are susceptible to cold and dampness." Women's waist should especially keep warm to avoid catching cold. For the sake of beauty, some girls wear short coats and low-waist pants regardless of season, and they prefer raw and cold food, which can cause damage to their waist.

There are four types of low back pain in women. Jiang Liangduo, chief physician of internal medicine at Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that physiological characteristics make women have a lot more chance of experiencing low back pain than men. Low back pain due to kidney deficiency is the most common among women. Its pain is the pain, dull pain, and weakness in the entire waist. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the waist is the house of the kidney, which governs reproduction and female menstruation. Women lose too much blood every month and are responsible for pregnancy and childbirth at the same time, which will damage their kidneys. Cold-dampness low back pain is mainly caused by wind and cold attack on the waist. The pain is local pain, manifested as cold pain, and is aggravated in rainy days. Blood-stasis lumbago, lumbar muscle strain or sprain causes local congestion and poor circulation of qi and blood. This kind of lumbago is also common, and the pain is manifested as local pricking pain and needle-like pain. Low back pain caused by inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease is a common low back pain in women of childbearing age. The pain is lumbosacral acid pain, accompanied by lower abdomen pain and increased leucorrhea.

Protecting your waist is a lifelong matter. 1. Waist muscles need to be trained. Backward walking, yoga, jogging, etc. can all exercise the waist muscles. At the same time, you can also twist your waist often and do swallow flying exercises in bed before going to bed. 2. Keep warm all year round. Menstruation, childbirth, etc. can all damage kidney qi, so women should always pay attention to keeping their waist warm. If necessary, you can warm your baby or apply a hot water bottle. 3. Adjust kidney yin. Women should strengthen kidney yin more and enhance resistance. Eat more foods that nourish the kidney, such as Gouqi, yam, and longan. 4. Save on sex and practice contraception. Many induced abortions can easily damage the kidneys and cause inflammation. 5. Don't keep your heels too high. Wearing shoes that are too high will easily increase the fatigue on the waist. People who stand and walk for a long time should wear them as little as possible. At the same time, try not to wear low-waist pants during the physiological period. 6. Massage and rub your waist. Rub your hands until they are hot, massage your waist, and promote blood circulation. (Editor in charge: Chen Shaopeng)
