Potential link found between insomnia and back pain

Happy Friday, everyone! 🎉 Let's give a big shoutout to the end of the week and all the good things that come with it! I also found something interesting bouncing around the internet and thought I would share!

Alright, get ready for a wild ride because scientists have uncovered a wild connection between two of the most common complaints out there: insomnia and lower back pain. A study conducted by some clever researchers at the University of Warwick surveyed a whopping 2,000 adults and found that those who couldn't sleep at night were more likely to have a pain in their lower backs. The longer someone had insomnia, the worse the back pain was!

But why is this the case? Well, it turns out that having a hard time sleeping makes it harder to get comfortable in bed, which can lead to a pain in the lower back. Additionally, when you can't sleep, it can lead to higher levels of stress, which can make back pain even worse. So, treating insomnia could help alleviate lower back pain for some folks. It's like a two for one deal!

This isn't the first time these two have been linked, but it's becoming more and more clear that there's a interesting connection between sleep and pain. So, if you're having trouble sleeping and a pain in your lower back, it might be time to get them both checked out.

What in the world are adaptogens?

We’ve been hearing this term mentioned more lately and luckily we’ve got Manny here to answer some questions for us! In short, adaptogens are plant-based or synthetic compounds that are claimed to help the human body better cope with stress. They are often marketed as a "harm-free" way to improve health and have recently been marketed as a way to relieve long-haul COVID-19 symptoms. Common adaptogens include ashwagandha, ginseng, turmeric, moringa, and maca, each of which is claimed to have unique health benefits. However, there are potential side effects associated with adaptogen use, such as nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, headache, or an upset stomach. Some adaptogens, such as turmeric, may also interact negatively with certain medications. It is important to do your own research and consult with a doctor before taking any adaptogens or other herbal supplements.

We also found a couple of articles if you would like to learn a little more:
