You can do core strengthening exercises as part of your workout routine to maintain your spine health.
You can do core workouts in your car or in the office. Squeeze your core successively 100 times per rep. Do 1- 5 reps daily.
Maintain a healthy weight especially in the abdomen. Reduce weight so the spine does not have to support extra pressure which may negatively affect your posture.
Practice correct posture especially when sitting and lifting heavy weights.
Remember to place your pillow in a way that supports your shoulders.
Keep your body healthy by protecting your back and spine!

In a study entitled,Beyond Books: The Extended Academic Benefits of Library Use for First-Year College Students researchers investigated whether “first-year college students’ use of academic libraries” affected four academic outcomes: academic engagement, engagement in scholarly activities, academic skills development, and grade point average.
Here are 3 of their conclusions:
Students who used academic sources, journals, and references (collection loans, e-books, and inter-library loans, and web-based services, database, journal, and library website logins) had the most positive and significant relationships with academic outcomes.
Enrollment in library courses was positively associated with grade point averages.
This study supports the ongoing importance of students’ use of academic libraries and the critical roles that libraries play in students’ academic development, engagement, skills, and achievement.
