As the saying goes, one white covers all the ugliness, and one fat destroys everything? . Obesity will not only affect our external image, but also easily lead to various diseases, including one? Old friends? Everyone should not feel strange, that is, lumbar disc herniation.

Why are fat people more prone to lumbar processes?

First of all, with the increase of weight, the fat in the waist and abdomen will inevitably increase, and the fat accumulated in the waist and abdomen will increase the burden on the lumbar spine, which will easily lead to uneven stress on the lumbar spine and excessive protrusion. The change of lumbar position may accelerate the wear of lumbar disc annulus fibrosus. Over time, the annulus fibrosus is broken, and the nucleus pulposus tissue flows out from the broken annulus fibrosus, which stimulates or oppresses the adjacent nerve roots, thus causing symptoms such as low back pain, numbness and pain of lower limbs, leading to the waist.

In addition, obesity not only means the increase of fat content, but also shows that the muscle strength of the human body itself is declining. The core muscles of the waist and abdomen play a role in stabilizing the lumbar spine and reducing the pressure on the lumbar spine. If the strength of the core muscles is insufficient, the stability of the lumbar spine will decline, and the instability of the lumbar spine often means that the possibility of lumbar disc herniation is greatly improved!

Therefore, it is imperative for overweight patients with lumbar processes to lose weight! However, patients with lumbar disc herniation should pay attention to reasonable ways and means if they want to lose weight. If they lose weight improperly, they may increase the risk of recurrence of lumbar disc herniation. So, is there any way to lose weight without hurting your waist? Orthopedic experts put forward the following two points for everyone:

Two ways to teach lumbar process patients how to lose weight.

1, keep a reasonable eating habit.

Don't overeat. On the premise of ensuring a normal diet, reduce the intake of carbohydrates and saturated fatty acids, eat less fried foods and eat more coarse grains, vegetables and fruits. In addition, we should pay attention to dieting to lose weight. Excessive dieting can easily lead to unbalanced nutrition and disrupt metabolism, which is not only not conducive to weight loss, but also affects the recovery process of lumbar process.

2. Choose a reasonable exercise method

Exercise is the first choice for many people to lose weight, but for patients with lumbar disc herniation, it is like a handful? A double-edged sword? Choosing the right exercise mode can not only reduce weight easily, but also be of great benefit to the prevention and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Don't talk about inappropriate exercise? Fat? If you can't reduce it, it will easily lead to lumbar protrusion.

Then, next, let's take a look at what weight-loss exercises are suitable and not suitable for patients with lumbar processes. However, patients with lumbar process should first make it clear that they should avoid the acute stage of pain and then exercise to lose weight. If it is in the acute stage of the disease, we should pay attention to rest and take Yaotongning for treatment. After the pain is over, you can exercise reasonably.

Suitable for exercise of patients with lumbar disc herniation.

For patients with lumbar process, swimming is a better exercise to lose weight. When swimming, the body is in buoyancy. Semi-floating? State, not only can reduce the pressure on the waist, but also can better exercise the lumbar muscles. Besides swimming, brisk walking, flat support, five-point support, swallows and yoga are also good choices.
