The vast majority of back pain vanishes when you achieve a health weight, have adequate muscle flexibility, and engage in routine strength training that includes the abdominal muscles. Sounds simple, right? But then why is it so difficult for people to actually take these actions?
Many people with back pain would rather let a surgeon do the work than to go to a gym, and the more I talk to people about this issue, the more I hear the same excuses over and over: "I'm too old" or "Women don't strength train." Both are myths, of course. Strength training is especially needed by the elderly, and they derive great benefit from it. If you're not pushing weights at least two days a week, you'll never achieve optimum health, no matter what your age or gender.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
