⭐SAFE LIFTING TIPS⭐
Bend your knees not your waist. This helps keep your center of balance and lets your leg muscles do the lifting.
Hug the load. Try to hold the object close to your body as you gradually straighten into a standing position.
Avoid Twisting. Make sure feet, knees, and torso are pointed in the same direction when lifting.

Why does inflammation cause pain? Pain caused by inflammation is called nociceptive pain. It can feel sharp, dull, aching, or pricking. Inflammation is the body's way of fighting back and the body releases mediators like cytokines, histamine, and prostaglandins into the affected area. These mediators activate nociceptors (tiny nerves) and transmit pain signals to the brain.

During sleep, the body releases cytokines which are proteins that help fight infection, inflammation, and trauma. Muscles and tissues repair and rejuvenate during sleep, so if you're not getting a sufficient amount of rest each night, it's going to be harder to heal. If you're an athlete, sleep is a metric that should definitely be tracked to perform your best.

Warming up before a workout increases heart rate and circulation, loosens the joint, and increases blood flow to the muscles. It decreases the risk of injury by keeping the muscles warm and loose, preventing acute and overuse injuries.

Regular movement is crucial for maintaining healthy spinal discs, which can significantly reduce the risk of neck and back pain as it allows the discs to absorb necessary nutrients and expel waste products through movement.
