4 Ways to Reduce Back & Joint Pain During Winters

Joint pain is a real troublemaker during winters. We have jotted down some points that will help you to know about the causes, solutions and what food to eat to avoid Joint and back Pain.

Winter 2021 is getting colder every day, while afternoons are still warmer; morning and night are freezing. This frigid temperature causes running nose, cough and cold. People with joint pain or back issues have to undergo serious health issues in this chilling temperature.

Most of this joint pain is triggered after sleep, especially for those who had a disturbed night.  Sleeping on an uneven mattress that sags at night disturbs the sleep posture and sleep quality. It can also be because of too much junk eating and not focusing on health supplements.

What Causes Joint Pain in Winters?

Cold weather and joint pain are more like synonyms of each other. You must have heard this from the majority of people around you. But have you ever thought about it? Reasons may be many but it is mostly because of:

• Past Injuries: If you had any injury on your joints, then as winter comes close there is a slight change in the comfort and minor pain starts. For those with a major injury would not be able to sleep comfortably at night due to the rise in pain.

• Low Temperature Causes Stiffness: At Low temperature, your body faces vasoconstriction wherein blood goes to vital areas. This keeps you warm from within but our muscles, ligaments with less blood become stiff. Hence, you might face pain in your back and joints.

Winters are mostly about being cosy and comfortable. You prefer to stay inside your blanket and feel a lot hungrier. It is all about eating and sleeping. This may lead to a lot of weight gain which can trigger pain in the joints and muscles.

So try to go out for a small walk in the afternoon after lunch to remain active and fresh. Don’t make cold winds as an excuse to run from exercise. Take out your yoga mat and start with easy yoga poses or indoor exercise. Take a break from work after every two-hours and walk. Sip at least 8 glasses of water to remain fit and fine.

3. Keep Yourself Covered and Warm

Try to keep your body warm and covered by wearing proper woollen clothes, socks, gloves, cap and all that you can carry easily. Cold air can enter your body from ears and from thin layered clothes. It will then cause/trigger pain in the joints and muscles.

Chilling breeze leaves an impact on bones for those who don’t keep a check on their nutrition intake, water consumption, etc. So, it is advisable to cover up yourself when you leave home.
