2020, marked by the COVID 19 pandemic, has been a year full of complicated moments in which, surely, you have suffered for your loved ones, in which “masks” have become part of your daily outfit, in which kisses and hugs are no longer real to be virtual … and an endless list of other things that have turned our day to day upside down.

Although many “bad” things may come to mind when we remember 2020, we must say that many of us have begun to value, even more, little things (like sharing time with our family or friends) and we have concluded that a World Pandemic may well be a good excuse for not fulfilling the goals we set ourselves at the end of 2019.

For the #Greenvita team 2020 will be unforgettable, among other things because, the damned coronavirus, has not allowed us to open almost anything and because our #healthy food and our #healthykitchen have not been able to shine where they should do it: in our restaurants!

It is clear that the pandemic has led us through difficult times, but thanks to you, we have moved forward and many adversities have been left behind. You have been our engine in the most delicate moments, our strength! And … we give you endless thanks!

Although we have not always been able to share a table with you, we have not stopped working to assure 2021 is going to be a year full of surprises and news, among them … that we want to release new web!

Because, with or without a pandemic, with or without this nightmare, we cannot stop evolving, reinventing ourselves, living … while working to be more respectful and supportive with our world and humanity.

A virtual hug #Greenviters, and happy 2021!

Eating healthy is important and, at Greenvita, we do our best to let you eat that way when you are outside your home. But, as you know, not everything is eating healthy to be healthy. Exercising and taking care of our physical condition is extremely important. Skiing, hiking in the mountains, playing with our children … is essential to maintain our physical and emotional health. But, as we get older, it is more difficult to maintain this active lifestyle, especially due to a problem that the majority of people suffer from: back pain, especially low back pain.

But what is low back pain? Well, it is localized pain in the lower back that, according to some studies, more than 80% of the population suffers. That is why, it is convenient to know better the problem and possible remedies to prevent it (and cure it) effectively.

What are the causes of low back pain? Well, the main ones are, without doubt, lack of exercise, excess body weight and lifting weight incorrectly, even though there are other reasons that we would never imagine, such as tobacco consumption (due to the fact that that reduces blood flow in the lower spine and thus prevents the lumbar discs from receiving enough nutrients).

But, in this blog, we not only intend to provide prevention ideas for those who still have not low back pain, but these will also be valid for those who have already suffered it at some time or who even suffer it currently.

low back pain

One of the most frequently asked questions in these cases is: when I have back pain, do I have to apply heat or cold? The truth is that both are necessary for a correct correction of low back pain. During the first hours it is advisable to apply cold to the affected area (either through an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a cloth). In the following 2 or three days and, until the discomfort goes away, it is advisable to apply heat (an electric mat or a hot water bottle can be used).

Another very frequent question is: do we have to rest in case of low back pain? Lying on bed facing the ceiling, with the knees bent over the chest helps a lot although, as different studies show, being in bed too much can slow down the recovery process. At the end, with low back pain, every person must find in which position they feel better.

Massages can be a good help to reduce pain, especially if the muscles are contracted and there is a lot of tension. In the same way, the consumption of drugs has to be prescribed by a doctor, we should never self-medicate.

For those who suffer or have suffered from back pain, we provide you with some tricks to prevent it from recurring.

Tension due to stress is one of the main causes of pain, therefore, when you notice that the lumbar area is stiff, it is advisable to sit in a chair and bend the trunk until our chess rest on the legs, a position that you have to maintain seconds. Also stretching releases tension and helps us avoid pain!

Studies from the ‘American College of Physicians’ affirm that physical therapy, rehabilitation exercises, acupuncture and therapies to reduce stress such as yoga, tai chi or meditation, are some of the best practices to prevent and cure low back pain. You know, keep moving and put yourself in the hands of professionals!

And, finally, to close our January blog, we want to reassure you a bit by indicating that, in the vast majority of cases, low back pain only lasts 3 or 4 days, and is usually caused by excessive effort or poor posture. If it is prolonged or appears frequently, we would have to go to the doctor to find out if everything is fine in our spine.

This is all for now Greenviters! As always, we encourage you to lead a healthy lifestyle… And, remember our motto: ‘eat well, live well’.
