Lynn’s Wellness Tips:

TIPS FOR PREVENTING LOW BACK PAIN

  • Don't lift by bending over.  Lift an object by bending at your hips and knees and then squatting to pick up the object.  Keep your back straight and hold the object close to your body.  Avoid twisting your body while lifting.

  • Push rather than pull when you must move heavy objects.

  • If you must sit at a desk or at the wheel of a vehicle for long periods of time, break up the time with moments to stretch.

  • Wear shoes with low heels...1 inch or lower

  • Exercise regularly.  An inactive lifestyle contributes to lower back pain.

HEALTH TIPS

 

 Does grape juice offer the same heart benefits as red wine?

- Deborah / Florida

Mayo Clinic cardiologist Martha Grogan, M.D., and colleagues answer select questions from readers.

Answer

Possibly. There is some evidence that drinking red wine may reduce the risk of heart disease. But this benefit is most likely due to other factors such as antioxidants called flavonoids found in red wine. Grapes and red grape juice also contain flavonoids.

Red wine also contains a substance called resveratrol, which may reduce the risk of blood clots. Resveratrol is found in the skin and seeds of grapes. But it isn't known if grapes provide enough resveratrol to have a significant health benefit.

The American Heart Association doesn't recommend that anyone start drinking alcohol just to prevent heart disease. If you already drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Keep in mind that drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of:

  • High blood pressure

  • Obesity

  • Stroke

  • Cancer

In addition, even light drinking can lead to alcohol addiction.
