how to cure male infertility

 how to cure male infertility

My dear friends , There is no bigger misconception about naturopathy, natural diet or aphrodisiacs than that it reduces a person's sexual power or that many impotent people have achieved rejuvenation by becoming aphrodisiacs and are living happy lives.

how to cure male infertility  Male  infertility kya hai



Drinking water is the simplest and surest way to make a person healthy. Many young men and women, middle-aged men and women suffer from various types of sexual problems, due to which their wrong eating habits also contribute. Many diseases like restlessness of mind, despair, weakness, premature ejaculation, loss of libido, loss of interest, dysfunction in sexual organs, inability to control sexual desire, nightmares etc. can be benefited by adopting bad diet. In yoga and naturopathy, diet is considered to be of three types: Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. There is a detailed description of this subject in Geeta also. There is a misconception spread in the society that non-vegetarian food like eggs, meat, fish etc. are aphrodisiacs. That is why sensual people have special attraction towards non-vegetarian food and alcohol. In fact it is rajasic food. When the throat is rotten, it comes under the category of Tamasic food. This type of diet is suitable for today's lazy, laborless, stressed people.





Life is not able to give sexual pleasure to those who live for long. That is why nowadays many types of medicines are available in the market in the name of increasing sexual power and are sold in abundance, but it seems better not to comment about how much benefit they provide and for how many days. Often people are seen becoming depressed and sick due to this diet system. Even if the person consuming this type of rajasic diet is physically healthy, he does not have control over his sexual urges, hence there is a danger of becoming an adulterer. Today, rape, misconduct, unnatural sex, homosexuality, extramarital sex, various types of crimes etc. are increasing. If we investigate such criminals, their diet will definitely be found to be rajasic and tamasic and they will be found lacking in satvik tendencies.


Natural food system or non-vegetarian food is considered as satvik food. This diet not only cures many types of physical and mental problems like impotence, dysfunction of sexual organs, weakness or deformity, despair, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emission, various diseases related to menstruation in women, lack of ability to conceive, miscarriage, disinterest in sex or fear etc. Faults are removed, but the ability to control oneself or self-control also increases, due to which the person easily stops the tendencies of misconduct and crime. A non-consumer is fully sexually capable but also restrained. Therefore, whenever there is a need for sexual intercourse, he enjoys full sexual pleasure but does not remain incontinent, does not always suffer from sexual thirst.

Stress management through yoga

 Stress management through yoga

Stress management through yoga, method of relaxation, benefits of meditation in stress, benefits of yoga in stress, stress management, posture.

My dear friends, The separation of human mind and brain from Yoga and its combination with anti-Yoga elements is the main reason for the origin of stress. In the materialistic modern era, the indiscriminate use of machinery and the busyness of life resulting from competition make humans feel stressed at every step. The busy urban life, increasing pollution in the environment, family and social problems gradually increase stress.


To achieve success in the field of yoga, it is necessary for a yoga practitioner to have natural joy in his mind. By practicing yogic processes patiently for a long time with joy and enthusiasm, success is definitely achieved. The yoga practitioner gradually enters higher level yoga classes. Under Hathapradipika, joy has been kept among the elements of yoga for achieving success in yoga. In general order it is found that personal, family and social problems and ideological and emotional conflicts arise from the human being.


Often takes away his joy. In such a situation, a person is not able to incline his body and mind towards yogic practices or practices. Even during the practice of yogic processes, the mind remains in a stressed state and it loses the courage and determination which are essential for success in yoga. A person's environment does not allow him to live in a stress-free state. a person's personal


One keeps becoming a victim of stress either due to weaknesses or due to the complications created by the environment around him. In fact these complexities and challenges are for human development. In such a situation, instead of getting worried by getting entangled with them, one should accept them and find solutions to them in yoga. In the Yoga Shastras, many such methods and methods have been explained by the Maharishis, whose proper research in various areas of life takes a person out of the conflictual state like stress and establishes peace in his life. In this way, yoga not only cures stress but also makes life successful and prosperous.


Medical research shows that stress causes great harm to humans; sleep, appetite etc. disappear during painful moments of intense grief and excitement. Is various. shankha




Stress arising due to various reasons brings with it not only temporary pain but also far-reaching side effects.


Sometimes during moments of stress, the body or mind becomes so agitated and disoriented that even natural sleep becomes ineffective. Going deep into nature is the simplest and most useful means of relieving fatigue. When a tired person sleeps deeply at night, he wakes up in the morning with new energy, freshness and happiness. Natural sleep has the natural quality of eliminating stress and fatigue. Stress takes away a person's natural sleeping instinct. Due to which his sleep gets disturbed and in such a situation he does not sleep or gets very light sleep. Such sleep proves unsuccessful in eliminating stress and fatigue.


People use sedatives and sleeping pills to induce sleep and relieve fatigue and stress, but their use does not cure the disease completely. Some people even indulge in drug addiction to relieve stress. Consumption of tranquilizers only causes hangover and the person loses his senses. In such a situation, man remains deprived of the freshness that comes from deep sleep. One becomes habituated to the use of tranquilizer and its effect diminishes and the need to take it in larger quantities is felt. Besides, many side effects also occur due to which


New diseases take refuge in the body and mind.


Stability in asanas is essential for the higher practices of yoga. To become stable in asanas, the body is made strong and full of vitality through dynamic and body enhancing asanas. Along with the body, strength and stability of the mind is necessary, for which relaxation is a widely available practice. Regular practice of relaxation ends the conflicting situations of thoughts and emotions. Due to which mental peace is achieved and there is complete absence of stress in the calm mind.


relaxation


Relaxation is relaxing the natural movements of the body. In the process of relaxation, the body has to be completely relaxed and the mind has to be completely emptied. A simple way to eliminate stress is to practice relaxation. In its practice, morale is used and by giving signals to ourselves, it is said that our body parts are getting relaxed and our own running around is stopping. All good and bad tendencies are being destroyed. Taking it and the racing of the mind stops and starts working as per self-direction. Through such practice, stress gets relieved as a result of training the mind and getting sleep.


Gandhiji had control over sleep. Vinoba Bhave went to sleep at six o'clock in every season and had control over the fixed time. Vinoba Bhar and Clive used to wake up while riding horses on the war front for weeks. Napoleon would sit in the same position against the tree to relieve some fatigue, wake up the horse and start working again with renewed enthusiasm.


Methods of relaxation



Fifth note of musical scale. Shri Ram Sharma Acharya has explained many effective methods of relaxation in the book called Vaadmaya called Gyan Vigyan of Sadhana methods. They are as follows-


1. Relaxation is the best and easiest way to get rid of stress. Shavasana is the most useful exercise for this. Shavasana means lying motionless towards the dead body. This can be done by sitting on a chair or by taking the support of a wall or any other comfortable object. In this, the body is kept in a pressure-free and comfortable position. In this state, there is a deep feeling that the life force of the entire body has been drawn out and the brain has concentrated in the center and all other components of the body have become calm and almost dead.


With this type of practice, all the body parts gradually become relaxed and the mind becomes calm. After a long period of practice, a stage comes when the conflict going on in the inner world comes to an end and in this stage one attains ultimate peace. Attainment of ultimate peace is freedom from stress.


2. To practice relaxation, one should lie down in a noise-free place and feel the body weightless and imagine that the entire body has become as light as cotton.


In this direction, the scene of the Doomsday should be mentally observed. A picture should be drawn of the immense amount of water everywhere. To calm the mind, one should imagine that there is no substance, person or creature in the world, nor is there any thought or problem left with it. We are alone in the vast waters of doomsday. In the form of a small child, he is lying on a leaf boat and is slowly flowing towards some unknown direction with the speed of the wind. All the problems and obstacles on the way have been eliminated.


3. If the fear of death goes away from the mind, then the thought of death gives a pleasant feeling. Under the concept of death, one has to feel that the body and mind are lying peacefully and inert in their original state. From which our life has gone out. To get rid of the tiredness of life, one has got the opportunity to sleep for a long time in such a beautiful environment where there is no hindrance of cold, heat, flies, mosquitoes, insects etc. All the questions, duties, responsibilities, worries and problems related to life have gone far away with the dead body. We have come to a new beautiful and gentle environment. Which is stress free everywhere. Where ultimate peace and happiness prevail.


If proper practice of relaxation is done for a short time every day, then both the body and mind become accustomed to that process. As a result, sleep that eliminates stress and fatigue can be induced at will. Regular practice of relaxation not only relieves stress but also brings natural happiness to the mind in daily life.


Posture


Practice of asanas done after relaxation gives proper success in the path of yoga. From the health point of view, asanas have a prominent place in yogic medicine. If the disease



If suitable asanas are selected and used properly, then proper success is achieved in yoga research. Shalabh has told in the book titled Alternative Medicine that by practicing Asanas, blood circulation in the body gets faster and physical and mental health gets balanced. Practice of Asanas strengthens the digestive system and balances and controls the digestive process. The entire body is operated through the Nadi Sutras and the brain. To keep both of these dynamic, it is necessary to practice asanas daily. According to Shalabh, regular practice of Suryanamaskar, Janushirasana, Suptavajasana, Sarvangasana, Makarasana, Pawan Muktasana and Halasana provides relief from stress. Pro. Ramharsh Singh has told in the book titled 'Yoga and Yogic Medicine' that in the asanas of Hatha Yoga, the body is kept in different types of positions in such a way that the body's respiratory organs and endocrine glands function better than before and the body and mind are maintained. Can make you healthy. The process of Yogasanas is very effective and effortless, through which along with physical and mental development, secondary objectives of Yoga practice like prevention of old age and disease are achieved. The range of asanas in yogic practices is very wide and extensive. These include such asanas which provide physical and mental relaxation. Therefore, asanas are also practiced to come out of conflictual situations like mental stress. Keeping in mind the various methods of asanas and their effects, Prof. Ramharsh Singh has prescribed three categories of asanas. It includes categories of body enhancing, relaxing and meditative asanas.


Through enriching asanas the body becomes strong, strong and full of vitality. The body thus developed can be kept in a stable and comfortable position during higher practices such as meditation. Matsyendrasana, Dhanurasana, Paschimottanasana, Matsyasana and Gomukhasana etc. are examples of major enhancing asanas. Shavasana and Makarasana are included in the relaxation asanas. Through which complete physical relaxation and mental relaxation can be achieved. Padmasana, Swastikasana, Siddhasana and Sukhasana come under meditative asanas. In these asanas, by keeping the body stable, higher yogic processes like pranayama, dharana and meditation etc. are practiced. In fact, the aim of practicing all the restorative asanas and restorative asanas is to achieve stability in meditative asanas, through which the mind and brain develop and the consciousness gets expanded.


The changing circumstances of modern society are enough to cause stress to humans. The mind suffering from stress easily becomes restless and unstable. A disturbed mind cannot attain happiness. A stressed mind also makes the body sick. The various types of stress-related physical diseases prevalent in modern society have arisen in this manner. In the treatment of psychosomatic diseases, body enhancing asanas are used to strengthen and strengthen the body, for which Surya Namaskar, Simhasana, Veerasana, Pandasana, Paschimottanasana, Matsyendrasana, Utkatasana, Shalabhasana, Matsyasana, Kurmasana, Garudasana, Gomukhasana and Gujendrasana are the results of long term practice. Due to this, the functioning of the body's heart, lungs, etc. and long-term circulation muscles of Gujangasana should be balanced.

Breakfast is a curse

 Breakfast is a curse


My dear friends, many doctors in the western countries have proved that the body does not need breakfast. Breakfast is a curse for your health.

Breakfast is a curse, Giving up breakfast A boon for students , Benefits to intellectuals by giving up breakfast,



Dr. Paul C. Bag looked like a full grown man at the age of 10 and at such a long age he took up horse riding and mountaineering. He takes a bath in the sea every day. He fasts for 24 to 36 hours a week and four times a year, in which each fast is from one week to ten days. Thus, he fasts for 90-100 days in a year. In the remaining days, he mostly eats fruits and salads and a small amount of food, that too 4-5 times a week.


Breakfast is a curse


Dr. Bag is against breakfast. He says. I believe that we do not use the energy we get after sleeping at night properly. We do a grave injustice to it. We use this divine energy in digesting breakfast.  The physical, mental or spiritual energy gained while sleeping at night is very valuable in the morning and can be utilized to accomplish great tasks.


Giving up breakfast


A boon for students


I have conducted experim

ents on students from primary to post graduates. I found that students who studied in the morning on an empty stomach progressed rapidly and gained the best knowledge and information. Students who ate very light and liquid food during the day and had a full meal at night, slept well immediately after eating. After sleeping soundly, when they wake up in the morning, they are full of energy and agility. I have propagated this method among thousands of students across the world and they have benefited greatly from it.


Benefits to intellectuals by giving up breakfast


By adopting this method, the efficiency of work of musicians, artists, writers and craftsmen has increased. After having breakfast, the brain becomes lethargic and weak because the energy of the body is engaged in digestion from the morning itself. We have to understand this fact very well.


Some people say that breakfast is very necessary and they justify their opinion by arguing that after breakfast they are filled with energy, with the help of which they work throughout the day.  But this belief is completely wrong and unscientific. There may be mental satisfaction after having a full stomach with breakfast but gaining strength is just an illusion. The question is from where and how did those people get the strength? The food eaten takes a lot of time to digest and after going through many processes, finally it reaches the body's cells.



Morning time is fixed by nature for cleaning the body. Hence nothing should be eaten at this time.

The benefits and harms of milk

 The benefits and harms of milk

The benefits and harms of milk,Benefits of milk , harms of milk, characters of milk, qualities of milk.

My dear friends

When a child is born, the mother's milk comes. There is a life force inside that gives milk as soon as the child is born. Remember, this milk is produced by the glands at that time, it is not stored. When the child grows up, that is, when his teeth come out, then the glands of the mother's body do not produce milk. Can any person in the world say that stopping of milk is a disease of the mother or that the life force, which is a part of the soul or the Supreme Soul, is a fool who has stopped giving milk? Stopping of milk is not a disease of the mother because milk will come again when the next child is born. Whenever children are born, milk will come and then it will stop, that is, stopping of milk is neither the mother's disease nor the foolishness of the life force. This is a direct proof that the body no longer needs milk.


Who drinks milk in the animal world except dogs and cats? And the stool of both of them is extremely rotten and smelly.


 When an animal's baby grows up, it also stops drinking its mother's milk even though its mother is still producing milk. A human's mother's milk has stopped, but still he is drinking the milk of other mothers.


Cow's milk has 8 times more protein than human's milk because a cow's body turns into a cow or a bull in three years, while a human's body fully develops in 25 years. That means a cow's body grows 8 times more than a human's body. That's why it has 8 times more protein. The question arises that when growth stops after 25 years, then why a thing that increases 8 times?


In the scriptures, Lord Rama neither reared a cow nor drank milk even after living in the forest for 14 years. If drinking milk was so important, then a cow could have been reared in the forest. At least Janaki and Lakshman could have served the cow. Kol Bhils also gave only tubers and sprouted food. At that time, they had completely abandoned salt, sugar, milk and cooked grains. Many types of dishes were made in Ayodhya, but there is no mention of milk. Shri Krishna also took milk in his childhood. There is no mention of milk in Dwarka. Milk is considered a complete diet. That is why God has given mother's milk so that the child can get complete diet. Milk will be beneficial for those who do more physical labor like farmers and laborers, whose cells are more broken. The body is formed till the age of 25. Till then milk can be drunk, but after 25 years, milk will be harmful for those who do not do hard work. If according to Ayurveda, evening milk has been mentioned, then it is good for those who work hard.  Especially when there are no other nutritious foods. Who would have thought that man would develop thousands of types of foods even if they are artificial and eat them under the pretext of taste? Then it is not right to demand milk at such a time.


The answer given by medical science that milk contains calcium is ridiculous. Every food material has something or the other which is beneficial for the body. Even animals have bones. Their bodies are built by eating grass. Why can't our bodies be built by eating different types of tasty dishes? Has medical science ever thought that how much calcium is lacking in whose body and how much milk will fulfil that deficiency?


The truth is that medical science thinks that milk has calories and it will give strength. This calorie theory is also completely misleading and untrue. Grass has almost zero calories. A cow eats grass and walks 4 kilometers carrying 4 quintals of weight and gives 15-20 liters of milk which according to medical science has thousands of calories. Then how are so many calories generated from zero input?


According to scriptures, neither grass nor milk has calories. The milk that was mentioned in the evening was for the hardworking people and for them also at the end of the day; so that the wear and tear of the cells can be repaired.


We have thousands of sadhaks who have given up milk, their bones have started becoming stronger and joints have started working because the life force has removed the excess calcium through many ways.


The source of strength is the soul itself. The body gets charged in deep sleep. Therefore, neither there is a need to eat in the morning nor is there a need for milk.


A chemical called 'casein' is found in milk. It has a great sticking capacity.  Wood product manufacturers in America use it to glue wood. It is a matter of concern that how much it will stick to the body, proof of which is the stickiness of mucus.


A special chemical is found in the milk of a pregnant cow which is responsible for breast cancer in women.


Nature is providing fruits, vegetables and grains of different shapes, colors, sizes and tastes. The tongue ruins health by giving greed for food. With increasing age, the less milk and milk products are consumed, the better will be the health and the body will be disease-free.

How to Do Meditation, precautions and benefits

How to Do Meditation, precautions and benefits, benefits of meditation, precautions in meditation, procedure of meditation.


What is Meditation  

The state of continuous flow of divine sound consciousness is called meditation. In this state the mind remains away from all worldly thoughts and options. Divine power and divine thoughts always remain present in the mind.


The seventh step of yoga is meditation. What yogis call meditation, knowledgeable people call it Nididhyasana and devotees call it bhajan.


How to do meditation


Sit in Sukhasana, Padmasana or Siddhasana in a secluded place. While contemplating on Sakar Brahma, recite stotras and shlokas for ten minutes. This will elevate the mind. Take your mind off the subjects. Now the mind will become calm, concentrated, pure and subtle. Meditate on the eternal soul through this trained and disciplined mind. Do not allow any other thought to enter your mind. Try for this again and again, then the mind will gradually become God-oriented. When meditation becomes serious and steady, then it will become easy and natural. You will ultimately be situated in Brahman.


What happens in meditation


In meditation the mind starts moving towards spiritual consciousness. Thoughts become quiet. Only the thought of 'Aham Brahmasmi' remains. When this thought also disappears, then the state of effortless non-duality i.e. Nirvikalpa Samadhi is achieved and the mind gets absorbed in Brahma.




some useful instructions for meditation


Brahma is pure, hence to meditate on Brahma your mind should be pure. Purify the mind through pranayama, chanting, service and charity.


To achieve success in meditation, it is necessary to live in a virtuous environment. Stay at satvik places, eat only satvik food, speak only satvik words and give importance to satvik thoughts only.


Apart from this, it is also necessary to keep the mind free from worries. For this, go into solitude sometimes and stop your activities.


It is better to practice meditation in Brahma muhurta. It is necessary to practice meditation at fixed time and regularly. With this your mindset will easily become conducive to meditation.


Do not let your eyes and brain get stressed during meditation.


,Don't fight with the mind. To tame it, let it do whatever it wants for a short period of time. Then it will tire itself due to its agility.


,Keep developing renunciation and satvik qualities like patience, constant endeavor, kindness, love, forgiveness and purity in yourself every day, because these qualities are helpful in the practice of meditation.



Reasons for failure in meditation


If a meditator contemplates divine thoughts for ten minutes and then gets engrossed in worldly thoughts for ten minutes, he will never be able to attain divine consciousness. Remain absorbed only in contemplation of divine thoughts. Then you will definitely attain God realization.


meditation and action


There should be a balance between meditation and action. Meditate and also perform actions as per the scriptures. Whenever you get the opportunity, after completing your work, stay in solitude with detachment and meditate. This is the state of balance.



benefits of meditation


Meditation works as a powerful medicine. In the state of meditation, the divine power emanating from the feet of the Lord keeps flowing towards the seeker. As a result of meditating in Brahma muhurta, the mind remains calm throughout the day, the mind becomes free from distractions and all the functions of the body get filled with divine and spiritual thought waves.


Pure thoughts are acquired through meditation. All your doubts are eliminated. Then you yourself know where to take the next step on the spiritual ladder. A mysterious inner voice starts guiding you.


Reaching the pinnacle of knowledge of one's nature, attaining the consciousness of the ultimate truth and merging of living consciousness into universal soul-consciousness is realization or self-realization.


Completely transforming one's animal nature, transcending human nature and awakening latent powers - this is the process of realization. Realization is achieved through moral development, self-analysis, self-purification, meditation, selfless love and service to living beings, right speech and right conduct.


interview through meditation


By practicing meditation, all the instincts dissolve. Then the soul appears automatically. This is the situation of interview or self-realization.


Pratibhagyan is the only means of interviewing. Thinking and meditating on 'Who am I' opens the doors to epiphany.


If you continuously meditate on the soul with a pure heart, you can attain salvation or bliss.


Conscious mental repetition of a single thought-point is meditation. When this process of the seeker is completed then he enters that state in which the meditator and the goal become one. This is the stage of interview.

Causes and prevention of slip disc

 Structure of backbone


The human backbone  or spine is divided into regions. There are seven vertebrae in the cervical region (neck), twelve vertebrae in the thoracic region (mid back) and five vertebrae in the Lumbar region (lower back). Beneath the Lumbar, Vertebrae are Sacrum and Coccyx.


The lumbar spine is a mobile structure fixed on the sacrum spine. Sacrum spine mobility is very minimal when compared to the Lumbar spine.

Prevention and causes of slip disc, slip disc, consequences, numbness, causes of slip disc, suggested statement for less severe cases.



Each vertebrae has a solid part in front called the Vertebral body and a hole in the back. The vertebrae rest upon one-another. When lined up, these holes form the spinal canal. This canal serves as a protected passageway for the tightly packed bundle of nerves (spinal cord). It is 3/4 inch thick and runs from the back of the brain down the pelvis. Its nerve fiber carries instructions from the brain to the rest of the body ("move my right leg, empty my bladder etc.") and signals from the body are interpreted by the brain (sensations such as pain, itching, hunger etc.)


 What is disc


Special cartilages, called the discs, separate

the vertebrae. The discs are located in between two adjacent vertebrae bodies, just in front of the spinal cord. Functions of the disc are: to join the adjacent vertebrae, to allow movement between vertebrae, to act as a shock absorber, as a load distributor.



Inside portion of each disc consists of a soft semi fluid, "the nucleus"- Nucleus is surrounded and held together by a Cartilage, "the annular ring", The annular ring is the outer covering of the disc which is thicker anteriorly (front) and thinner posteriorly (back) and this is the reason for the disc to get herniated posteriorly (back) than anteriorly (front).


What is Slip Disc


 In reality, there is no such thing as slip disc. There is no way a dise can actually slip out of place. It merely buldges.



Some time the Nucleus, the central portion of the disc buldges backward towards the nerves. This is so called "SLIP DISC', but more precisely it may be called prolapsed or herniated disc.


Causes of slip disc


 The disc herniates for numerous reasons


(i) Lifting heavier objects and twisting the body.


(ii) Incidences of fall from a height.


(ii) Road traffic accidents.


(iv) Sedentary life style.


(v) Lack of exercise and weak abdominal muscles.


(vi) Improper postures of sitting etc.


Consequences


The herniated disc may slip either centrally or laterally causing pain in the lower back (Lumbar) or in the legs when the nerves in the spinal canal get compressed or irritated. In the Lumbar spine, the most common sites for dise herniation are "L3", "L4" and "L4-L5" segments. For example, when the "L4" disc herniates, the pain may be present at the outer side of the lower leg. When the disc gets slipped in the centre than lateral, it may cause generalized back pain with no particular leg pain.



The sciatic nerves service our legs, and when compressed and irritated, they may cause pain in the legs. Inflammation of the sciatic nerve is called sciatica.


Numbness


In several cases of neural impingement, numbness or partial loss of sensation may occur in the leg. When the spinal cord and its nerves gets injured or affected by a neurological disease, some may have paralysed legs and loss of bowel and bladder control and sexual function. The longer you wait for treatment, the longer that treatment will take. Therefore, don't ignore even the simple back pain.


Suggested treatment for less severe cases



1. Pain is the warning that some structure is to be damaged or has already sustained some damage. Be alert!


2. The immediate step, you may call it first aid is to take complete bed rest. Total rest is very good treatment. Sleeping on the side with knees drawn up or on the back with a pillow under bent knees minimises the pressure on the lower back.


3. Some may feel more comfortable by lying flat on the stomach with a pillow down the stomach.


4. Take breaks when sitting


The body is not designed for sitting more than 20 or 30 minutes. The compression of the disc is greatest when sitting for more than an hour, less when standing and least when lying down. Avoid sitting as much as possible to decompress the spinal segments. If it is convenient, get on your back several times a day or else, after every 30 minutes of sitting, stand up, arch your backward several times a day and walk around your work place for about three minutes. It will decompress the spine and reduce the severity of leg pain. Pressure on the disc for different postures is tabulated for general awareness.


Posture            Pressure on the Disc 



Lying Flat on the back-----Say 20 kg.


Standing Erect----------- 100 Kg.


Sitting with back supported---140Kg.



Sitting with trunk bent forward---200 Kg.
