Question: Exercising with Back Pain?

Question:

What are some good workouts to do if you have back pain?

Answer:

Just for a minute, consider that the cause of your back pain may actually be directly related to the cause of your weight gain.

Yes, it's true that the additional stress, tension and pressure from the added weight definitely contributes to your back pain; however, I would suspect that's only one factor.

Believe it or not, most people misunderstand fat.

People believe that it's additional calories, fats or carbs that "cause" fat - but, the truth is that fat is actually designed to protect you!

In fact, your fat may be saving your life!

The foods that we eat can cause a highly acidic and toxic effect on the body (fat is a symptom, but also is back pain).

When you body is acidic and toxic, your body begins to accumulate fat in order to protect your organs and tissues from the dangerous effects of this environment ... you get rid of those toxins by consuming the right foods and the fat will just melt away faster than any diet, any pills or any exercise you can imagine! And, these foods also are known to support your body's natural ability to heal and provide back pain relief!

As far as exercise, it's best to avoid high impact at the moment to minimize any additional strain on your back (swimming, yoga, gentle rebounding (aka mini-trampoline), light weight training).

The exercise will increase your blood flow, which will help strengthen muscles and joints and eliminate toxins ... all adding to your weight loss and back pain relief.

To your health,
