Bottom Line:
No one wants to deal with back pain. Whether you’re living with pain today or looking to reduce your risk of injury in the future, you may be curious about how you can strengthen your spine.

When it comes to strengthening spinal discs, it’s wise to start with the body’s core — the set of muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support your spinal column and help your spinal discs move.

Bottom Line:
If you’ve ever had a spinal disc problem, you know how painful it can be.

Every movement seems to hurt, and it can feel like you’ll never be back to your old self.

That pain is the body’s way of signaling you to “Pay Attention Inside Now” — it’s a warning sign from your body. It’s your body’s way of letting you know it’s been pushed past its limits.

However, with the proper care and a little time, you can get your life back.

Bottom Line:
We all know spinal discs are important — but to understand why, the real question is… what are they made of?

Simply put, your spinal discs are the little cushions that sit between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine.

Each disc is made up of a tough, fibrous outer layer (annulus fibrosis) and a jelly-like inner layer (nucleus pulposus). The tough outer layer contains and protects the softer inside layer.

These small discs have a big job.

They enable your spine to move in all directions.

Bottom Line:
Have you found yourself tired and drained at the end of every day?

It may be easy to grab a second (or tenth?!) cup of coffee or energy drink but boosting your energy level doesn’t mean you need to rely on caffeine.

Creating smart, healthy habits each day can help increase your energy level, mental focus, and endurance.
