A typical feature of modern city dwellers who are in a subhealthy state is that the lumbar spine, cervical spine and shoulder joints often feel sore and stiff, which is mostly due to lack of exercise due to long hours sitting in the office.
Even if you don’t seem to be experiencing any discomfort in your shoulders, lower back or neck right now, you can check yourself for hidden joint problems by doing the following.
1.Stand up, keep your upper body upright, turn your head as far as you can in the direction of up, left, down and right, did you feel the sound of the neck joints clucking and cackling?
2.Keep your upper body upright and turn hard behind you, do you feel the same sound in your lower back?
3.Do chest stretching exercises, stretch your arms as far as possible horizontally behind you, stretch your chest as far as possible forward, feel the shoulder blades close to the spine, as if there is a feeling of pushing the spinal bones back into place?
If your answer is yes, it means that these important joints have begun to develop hidden problems due to poor blood circulation around them as a result of maintaining a posture for a long time, leading to muscle stiffness. If left unchecked for a long time, it is very likely to cause various incurable joint diseases such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation.

TIPS: What is matcha?
Matcha is green tea that has been steamed and then ground into a powder using a stone mill. The term “covered steamed green tea” refers to the cultivation and production process of this type of green tea. Covering is the shade structure that must be set up 20 days before plucking the spring tea. Steaming is the process of killing steam so that the green tea produced is bright green in color and tasty.
Many people think that Matcha is a Japanese thing, but in fact this tea making process was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties and became popular for a while, but after the Ming Dynasty tea brewing became popular and Matcha was lost in China. Before that, the culture of matcha was introduced to Japan with the envoys and developed there, making it a national treasure of Japan.
