Reasons Why People Suffer From Back Pain And What to Do About It
Back pain is extremely common. 80% of all people experience some kind of back pain in their lives, and these super common bad habits could be making it worse.
There are many things that we are doing on a daily basis without even thinking about it that can exacerbate an existing condition or create a new one. We may not even be aware of what we are doing to cause the pain. So what are these habits? Watch this video to find out!
Everyone knows that how we lift heavy objects can definitely affect our backs. But for plenty of people, we don't think twice before picking up our children, or think about our body posture we are picking them up. Daily activities such as this can cause a great amount of stress to the back.
Don't worry - nobody is saying to stop snuggling those munchkins. Rather, it is important to just be conscious about body posture. Proper lifting techniques involve avoiding bending and twisting at the waist. Always avoid using the waist to lift heavy items. When picking up an object off the floor, it's best to squat and to keep the spine as straight as possible. Reach down and hold the object as close to the body, then stand up. Use those powerful leg muscles instead of putting the stress on the spine.
The next common culpret? Work! Most people spend a lot of time at work sitting down. Depending on their positioning and their ergonomics, they could be making their back pain a lot worse. So, one of the best things we can do for our backs is to take frequent breaks from sitting or standing too long.
Our beds, our mattresses, and our sleep positions can also be major factors in our back's <a href="https://rumble.com/v35hng-5295004.html" target="_blank">health</a>. Mattresses that are too firm or too soft can easily shift the spine out of alignment. The important thing is to find a mattress with medium give and make sure that the spine will be aligned. A supportive mattress that keeps the spine straight and neutral can prevent back pain. Obviously, not everyone sleeps in the same position, and so it's not just mattresses that make the difference. Some people sleep on their back or side, which are both healthy positions for the back. Sleeping on the belly, however, is never recommended because in almost all circumstances, the spine is not in a natural position. So, avoid stomach sleep will help to avoid back pain in the mornings.
For women, our menstrual cycles can often effect how and when we experience back pain. Hormones released during menstruation can cause back pain for a lot of women as well as cramping and other pains throughout the body.
Being a smoker has shown to increase the amount of back pain. This is because smoking causes damage to the small blood vessels that feed the spine. This also increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone density loss.
Different aspects of how we dress can also cause back pain. The types of shoes we wear, carrying a heavy bag, or even an unsupportive bra can cause pain. Not only wearing high heels can cause back pain but also other footwear such as flip flops and shoes with uneven soles can contribute to an abnormal gait and abnormal stress on the spine.
Fitness is another factor in developing chronic <a href="https://rumble.com/v47xs9-an-exercise-to-help-with-low-back-pain-kitchener-massage-therapy.html" target="_blank">back</a>. Strength in the core muscles that surround the spine and stabilize the spine will help prevent a spine injury from happening, and staying in good shape means less stress on the spine.
Anxiety and stress are definitely related because anxiety can be the cause of the pain, and it can also be the result.
When we start to experience back pain, the best bet is to head straight to the doctor. They can be a guide in the initial treatments, including medications and conservative therapy.

Mouth Watering Zucchini Lasagna Recipe
Are you in need of a healthy meal that still tastes like comfort food? If so, you are in the right place! This recipe will blow your mind. This is a pasta dish, without the fattening pasta! It replaces pasta with zucchini, but do not be alarmed, you will not be able to tell that there is no pasta in it. We promise, if you are a lasagna fan, you will be happy with the end result of this recipe. If you have never tried substituting pasta with zucchini, we urge you to just give it a shot one time. Even if you think you are pretty sure that you will not like it, it cannot hurt to try right? If you just give it a chance, you may be surprised to find how amazingly good it is! It is no lie that you can really have traditional comfort food dishes like lasagna without the fattening parts. Here is the recipe that the video lays out for us (oh, and by the way, try this recipe with your kids, but do not tell them that the pasta is actually a veggie until they have eaten it and told you they loved it! They will be shocked):
First, slice the <a href="https://rumble.com/v3e17n-low-carb-zucchini-enchiladas.html" target="_blank">zucchini</a> lengthwise extremely thin. The video recommends slicing to about a quarter inch thickness. You can do this with a mandolin slicer to ensure that your cuts are even throughout. If your slices are uneven, it can affect the cooking process of your faux pasta. After slicing, put all of the zucchini in a bowl and toss salt. Let the zucchini sit with the salt in the bowl for ten to fifteen minutes.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, pour in a half cup of olive oil. Add in an onion finely chopped, and brown the onions. The chef in the video uses red onion, but any onion will suffice. Many people actually prefer to use a small yellow, sweet onion for added flavor without the extra spice if you are not a huge fan of onions.
When onions have browned, add in a few cloves of minced <a href="https://rumble.com/v31oqk-delicious-cheesy-garlic-bread.html" target="_blank">garlic</a>. Freshly minced garlic is always preferable, but use what you have. If you are one of those who is not keen on mincing garlic by hand, there is a trick you can use to make this process easier, and it will actually add even more flavor to your dish: lightly toss your garlic cloves in a little olive oil, and roast them for just a few minutes until the tops of the garlic cloves have browned slightly. Remove from the heat, and place them on a cutting board. Take a fork and squish the garlic cloves. When they are roasted like this, they will squish easily, saving you time and effort as opposed to having to chop and mince finely. This also gives an excellent aroma and roasted flavor to your garlic.
Add a half pound of ground beef and brown until fully cooked. Salt the meat during the process. Add a can of crushed tomatoes, torn fresh basil, and honey to the beef mixture. In a separate bowl away from the heat, blend ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Add pepper. Lay out your zucchini slices on a baking sheet and pat dry.
In a casserole dish, begin layering your lasagna. Alternate the layers of the sauce (beef mixture), the zucchini slices, and the cheese mixture. The video shows a beautiful and artistic way of layering the pasta like a basket weave which also adds more pizzazz to your dish. Make your layers as thick or thin as you like.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Enjoy!!!

This Gorilla Is Causing Quite A Stir With Its Human Like Act
If you happened to stay awake during science class, then you might know that humans are most closely related to apes than any other family of animals. Even knowing this evolutionary fact, scientists at the Kent wildlife park were still shocked to see this phenomenon.
You can explore the animal world any time of the year, with indoor and outdoor enclosures, interactive experiences and fun, exciting encounter with over five hundred animals, from over hundred different species. But as we all know, monkeys are the closest we can relate to people. Their intelligence happens to be on the top of the list right below people.
This guy happens to be quite the show man. He stands up and walk along as if he doesn't care who is looking. His grand posture is definitely something to be admired.
Ambam, a 27-year-old silver back <a href="https://rumble.com/v30lyl-kaley-cuoco-slams-cincinnati-zoo-for-shooting-gorilla.html" target="_blank">gorilla</a> at Port Lympn Animal Park in Kent, UK, gained international fame when he was captured on video walking upright like a human. <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ozsv-orb-weaver-spiders-invade-balboa-park.html" target="_blank">Park</a> officials say that he has not been trained to do so and that he probably behaves this way so that he may have a better view of his carers or to be able to see where the food is being scattered in the enclosure.
What ever the reason, this is a unique sight of our glorious ancestor. Make sure to share the video with your friends.

Woman Makes Stunning Realization After Finding Sand Dollar
Anyone who has ever been to the beach has found one of these round, cream colored discs that we lovingly call ‘sand dollar’. We love the recognizable design, shape and color and no visit to the <a href="https://rumble.com/v31hqc-fairy-dogs-on-long-sea-coast.html" target="_blank">beach</a> is the same without a scavenger hunt to take one of these seaside keepsakes home.
But did you know that those cream colored dollars are actually living beings? Do not be surprised when we tell you that sand dollars are actually flattened, distant cousins of <a href="https://rumble.com/v37brf-60-year-old-man-catches-sea-urchins-with-his-bare-hands.html" target="_blank">sea urchins</a> - those same ones that we look to steer clear of when going in the water. Also, there are a not-so-flattened variety that are called sea biscuits!
The dark side of this adventurous story is that those off-white sand dollars we pick up at the beach are actually just the shell of dead sand dollars. Sad, but true, it is the way of life. The current of the sea washes them ashore, which is why seeing a live sand dollar is one the rarest sights in nature, but one woman had the greatest pleasure of finding a live individual during her trip to the beach.
Before they perish, these sea urchins are actually much larger, darker, and have a kind of slick appearance. Crazier still, when she flips the sand dollar over, it’s covered in tiny feelers that move in wave-like patterns!
These creatures are completely harmless, but if you do happen to find a live one like this lady, be sure to return it to the ocean.

Epic Fish Feeding Frenzy
When we hear that an animal video has started going viral and garnering millions of views, we expect it to be of a mammal: a sweet dog, a curious cat, even a concerned elephant. What we don't expect? Fish. If you've ever owned a fish tank, you know how exciting mealtime can be for the fish. But have you ever seen a massive feeding frenzy?
A man decided to throw 23 buckets of fish food into the ocean to see what would happen. Boy, was this a spectacular sight. As soon as the food even just touched the water, you can clearly see the chaos that ensued. Fish began attacking the surface to get whatever bit of the food they could, resulting in this unbelievable sight.
Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Check out this insane feeding frenzy!

There's A Huge Snake In This Photo, And We Dare You To Find It
Can you spot the gigantic snake hiding in this photo that is driving everyone crazy! Have you found it yet? Don’t give up! A giant snake is hiding in plain sight in this backyard, and you cannot see it? Schedule your eye examination appointment soon!
This photo was shared on Facebook by Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, an organization that helps Australians remove <a href="https://rumble.com/v3txv7-snake-eat-snake.html" target="_blank">snakes</a> from their homes and backyards. They shared the picture to highlight how tough their job is, but their Facebook followers played a strangely enjoyable game of “Where’s Waldo”, obviously with a snake instead of Waldo.
The Snake Catcher 24/7 - Sunshine Coast started out as a Facebook page and a hobby and has turned into one of the largest snake catching company's in Queensland. This local business servicing residents and businesses cover the entire Sunshine Coast and offer snake and all reptile species removal and relocation services.
Due to the large range of suitable habitats and great climate, the Sunshine Coast is home to many species of reptiles including around 20 species of snakes, most of which are venomous! Snakes will often enter homes in search of shelter, food and warmth, so if you experience this problem be sure to give a call to these guys.
So did you see the <a href="https://rumble.com/v3k00d-parents-found-a-venomous-snake-hiding-inches-away-from-their-babys-crib.html" target="_blank">big reptile lurking</a> from the tree in the top right corner?
Actually, these sorts of videos and hidden objects games are not invented for entertainment purposes. They are actually based on tests and training psychological assessments that were invented and developed by practitioners to determine the rate and the level of development of cognitive processes in children and adults. The younger the children were, the more these tests were modeled as play activities. But, the manner the tests were being administered, conducted, and timed, as well as the choice of objects that need to be discovered by the test subject.
The concept of the game is set as follows: an interactional partner activates the frame of the "game", the subject reacts to the activity set (we cannot say running as it is still photography) in the foreground. The brain needs to quickly assess and distinguish various <a href="https://rumble.com/v4de91-simple-weaving-shapes-for-children-with-autism.html" target="_blank">shapes</a> and colorations in the foreground and orient itself, using the cues provided towards a right-or-wrong interpretation. Here comes the element of play: distinguishing and assessing between a great number of nicely blended shapes, textures and colors awaken the center in the brain that is responsible for, to put it in layman's' terms "exploration and invention". This is why, statistics show, people who have watched the video and were in the good mood showed better results than those who watched the video after experiencing some sort of stressful situation.
How did you go?

News Anchor Loves To Lip-Sync During Commercial Breaks
We all have that moment when a specific song comes on and you just cannot help but to dance along and even sing to it! There is just something about that song that brightens you up. Just ask WVNS-TV anchor Dan Thorn. During his commercial breaks he cannot help but to dance to some of today's most popular songs.
What highlights these moments and makes it even funnier is that fact that his co-anchor does not seem amused and often keeps a straight face and focuses on her work. However that does not stop Dan as he even manages to get a smile out of her every so often!
These two seem like exact opposites. Sure, they both take their <a href="https://rumble.com/v33qzi-construction-workers-play-wheelbarrow-to-get-the-job-done.html" target="_blank">job</a> very seriously when it comes to telling the news, but outside of that they could not be any more different! Surely Dan's co-anchor is also fun outside of work, but she seems to take her job very seriously at work which is not a bad thing.
However, Dan shows that it is OK to have fun at your job as well! Do we have to mention how good of a <a href="https://rumble.com/v3118c-boy-from-audience-turns-out-to-be-a-natural-rumba-dancer.html" target="_blank">dancer</a> Dan is? He really does know how to entertain an audience!
Please share this video with your family and friends as it will surely make them smile!
