5 Simple Ways to Alleviate Body Pain in Old Age without Drugs

As we age, our bodies become more sensitive to pain, which can make it tempting to rely on prescription medication for relief. However, there are natural ways to alleviate body pain without drugs.

EDITOR’S PICK:

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some simple ways to alleviate body pains without drugs.

1. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water on a daily basis can help alleviate bodily pains by replenishing water stores in cells that may have dropped due to internal processes.

2. Get Enough Sleep:

Prioritizing a good night’s sleep, if not many good nights’ sleep, can help repair and regenerate damaged cells that make up tissues and muscles and flush out toxins that may cause or contribute to discomfort.

3. Exercise Regularly:

Physical activity helps maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance, which can reduce the risk of age-related pain and stiffness. Low-impact exercises like swimming, yoga, and walking are great options for older adults.

4. Try Hot or Cold Therapy:

Soaking in a warm bath can help relax muscles, release tension in tissues, and reduce the intensity of aches and pains throughout the body. Alternatively, some people prefer to soak in water that is cooler or at room temperature, depending on their preference.
