I am a 30-year-old, slightly overweight, woman (height 5.3 feet, weight 60 kgs).
Doing the house work, especially sweeping and swabbing during the lockdown, has given me a permanent backache.
How can I reduce the pain and make my back stronger?
-- Kritika

Ans:

Housework does put pressure on your back.

In the current scenario, the excess physical activity is taking a toll on everyone, especially women.

Start back-strengthening exercises daily and eat good sources of protein-rich foods and fruits and vegetables which are anti-inflammatory and excellent antioxidants.

With regular menstrual cycles, there is a possibility of calcium loss from your bones so make it a point to include high calcium foods in your diet to make your spine and bones stronger.

Vitamin D goes hand-in-hand, so don't forget to see that its requirements are met!

This will add to your immunity.
