Inflammation and Instant Relief
“Hey! What’s going on? Ian Hart here with MyBackPainCoach.com and BackPainRelief4Life.com and today I wanted to speak to you about the main reason that you’re suffering from back pain. So the #1 reason that you’re suffering from back pain, and this reason is kind of the pinnacle of a bunch of things that lead up to it, so lead up to this one thing. So I want to break it down for you very simply so that you can get relief just by listening to this video, so if you follow some of the steps that I go over today then it will help you to find relief. All right, at least a little bit.
So the #1 reason that most people have back pain is that they have inflammation, systemic inflammation throughout the whole body. All right, so if we can reduce inflammation we can reduce back pain, so if we can reduce instantly through a couple things then you will get relief. And so, here are 4 things that will help you right away:
- The biggest thing, and will always be the biggest thing for many aspects of our life and disease, is hydration. Dehydration happens on the body level and on a cellular level. First, it happens on a body level and then it happens on a cellular level. And then this is where inflammation occurs when you dehydrate on a cellular level and you’re constantly dehydrated then inflammation starts to creep into your body. So, are you dehydrated? Ask yourself that question. And I’m not just talking about water, I’m talking about the minerals and electrolytes because those help balance out our cells. So what I could recommend to you, you may want to try, is putting a half a teaspoon of sea salt or himalayan sea salt, celtic sea salt (preferably no additives), anything else organic, all that stuff. Along with lime juice, fresh lime juice squeezed in warm water in the morning with 2 cups, at least, that will help get electrolytes into your cells. The celtic sea salt has over 80 trace minerals, it has electrolytes and it helps balanced out cells so that’s the first thing. The same thing with lime juice.
- The second thing is how much you exercise are you doing. Are you exercising too much? Most people I find out are not exercising enough so the exercise will get energy and blood flow to your lower back, but it will also activate synovial fluid, and synovial fluid is how we get nutrients to the spine which helps with the healing process. All right, very important.
- The third thing is how many grains are you eating per day. All right, that causes inflammation, typically wheat and gluten causes inflammation, but all grains have gluten so look at your diet. Are you eating a lot of grains? Well, if you are, I would reduce the amount of grains or eliminate them for time being and see how you feel. A lot of people find out that they have systemic inflammation because they’re constantly eating foods that causing inflammation. Check to see if you have allergies to certain foods. Processed dairies also causes inflammation. So, look at those areas of your life and you’ll noticed just these few things will cause inflammation to go down, therefore reducing your back pain.
- The last thing – stress. What are your stress levels att? Do you allow yourself to relax, and meditate and go down into what it’s called the parasympathetic nervous system which is where rest, digest, love and peace live. A lot of people are stimulated in the sympathetic nervous system. They wake up, they drink coffee, they go on the news. It’s a bunch of fear, bad news, coffee stimulant then they go to work all day, and they sit down, overworked, overstressed and they don’t take time for themselves to relax especially if they’re eating foods that cause inflammation and are threat to the system, especially if you’re dehydrated. So, do you get the point? If you’re not exercising you are not distressing. Exercise lubricates the joints, it gets blood flowing, nutrients.
So, those 4 things, if you just monitor them and you incorporate them into your life, you will reduce inflammation in your body, therefore finding relief in your back or getting more relief. So, I’d love to hear your comments. Go ahead and leave a comment below if you have any questions or let me know if this was helpful. I think this can be something that most people can get benefit from and I hope it helps and if you want an exercise program that helps specifically with the back and hips.

Beaufort Health and Fitness: 4 Pillars Of Inflammation
Beaufort Health and Fitness: 4 Pillars Of Inflammation
“Hey! What’s going on? I thought of doing a video on the 4 Pillars of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress. And this is a very important topic because those are the things that create disease, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etcetera. And so we want to reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress but before I go on to those 4 pillars I think it’s important to explain what is inflammation. Inflammation is essentially when there’s an injury or a disease or something like that there’s increase of the blood supply to that area which is why it gets red and hot so that cytokines can help prepare the area. And so and this is just the basic aspect. It’s an immune system response, right? and keep in mind that 70-80% of your immune system is in your gut. So that can last for days, it can last for weeks but we want to stay away from which produces disease neurological disorders to as well is chronic inflammation and chronic oxidative stress.
In today’s day, a lot of people are walking around with chronic inflammation. So if you have joint inflammation on a daily basis, weekly basis, then there’s a few things you need to analyze. Okay so, it’s gonna come from:
- Nutrition
- Your Activity Level- Exercise actually helps a good inflammatory response. Exercise can actually help reduce inflammation, right? so something like arthritis it’s actually good for it. Now if you train too hard, too much, too often which you know depending on a person could be everyday for a couple of hours a day, that would be overtraining then you could cause oxidative stress creating more free radicals when you workout you create free radicals. If you don’t have enough antioxidant to neutralize the free radicals then you get in trouble. So if there’s too much oxidative stress it can cause chronic inflammation and it can lead to you know microtrauma and inflammation.
- How Much Sleep– Sleep is so important for recovery, for everything. It helps you to recover from injuries, exercise, stress for the day, leading to number 4.
- Stress
Okay, so those are the 4 pillars of chronic inflammation. So, it’s never going to be one of those things. It’s usually a combination. So, how’s your stress level? do you have a way to deal with your stress level? do you meditate? do you go for walk in the woods? do you reduce your stress level through going to the beach? So, if you have chronic inflammation, that is one way. Improving your sleep; Sleeping better, if you have an issue with sleep you know some people deal with insomnia, there’s certain ways that you could help that out, food is a good way, not drinking coffee, not drinking alcohol, those are proven to keep you from going into REM sleep which is where most of the recovery process is done, right? So exercising, for the most part I don’t know… I know very few people who over train, very very few. Most people under train. They train 2-3x a week, that is not over training, that is not enough to cause chronic inflammation and the joint. Someone said to me “I think it’s the heavy weights that I’m using.” It’s not possible if you train an hour a week to have chronic inflammation from that. You should look at the other areas and number 1 specially nowadays would be nutrition. So you can be putting bad fats into your body that cause more oxidative stress, that cause more inflammation or genetically modified foods that change the gut bacteria that cause more inflammation so, a good bacteria in your gut helps reduce inflammation, bad bacteria can raise oxidative stress and inflammation. So, cleaning your diet right? gluten can cause an autoimmune response because of the proteins look like a parts of our body and if it gets in the bloodstream the immune system will actually attack the protein and it could attack your joints because it has it’s similar make up, it has protein and gluten.
So, you know… what are you responding to? Dairy? do you have an issue with dairy? Do you have an issue with gluten? Do you have an issue with…whatever. Some people have different allergies that cause inflammation so everybody is different and figuring those things out will…” [Video cut off at the end]
