What to do for Chronic Pain

Here is an exact strategy you can use to increase almost any chronic pain.

Step 1: Sit 12+ hours per day

Sitting for most of your day is the perfect strategy to increase muscle tension and decrease joint flexibility. Our unnatural sitting posture that is ubiquitous in our environment ensures your hip mobility will be limited and your low back will be strained. It's the perfect strategy for increasing pain.

By not moving throughout the day, your body has less circulation, your lymphatic system is unable to drain, and your tissues will lack nutrients and fill up with waste products. Over time this will increase inflammation, decrease energy, and make your body feel more stiff and tired. If you don't want chronic pain, learn how to sit better.

Step 2: High sugar & Vegetable oil Diet

Eating what's easily available and tastes good is a very effective strategy for increasing chronic pain. Highly processed foods you'll find in the middle of the grocery store are filled with processed carbohydrates and the cheapest and least healthy oils so your body will have to greatly increase overall inflammation to deal with these toxins. Look for added sugars and preservatives to make sure the food you're eating is as far from nutritious as possible.

Even better, if you eat fast foods you'll be able to poison your body while wasting even more money! Almost every fast food chain uses high sugar and vegetable oils, higher in omega-6 fats that are guaranteed to make you feel like crap. Or learn how to eat a healthy diet.

Step 3: Short, intense workout only

Put on a pair of tight, unnatural running shoes so you gradually weaken your feet and worsen your knee pain, and go for a run where you spike your heart rate as high as possible to increase your body's overall stress. Extra points if you sit while exercising by completing a Peloton workout with insane levels of intensity for only ~20-30 minutes, and then make sure you sit on your couch afterwards to tighten up your hips.

Don't do any other movement throughout the day so you don't help with recovery. Order your groceries and avoid walking long distances. Short, very intense workouts, and then as little movement as possible afterwards will increase your body's stress and tighten up your muscles so your pain worsens.

Step 4: Stay up late

Sleep is when our body recovers, so make sure you get as little as possible. Stay up late drinking alcohol and eating unhealthy food so your stomach is upset and your sleep quality is worse. Get a lot of light late at night so your body gets confused about what time it is. Spend time on your phone immediately before bed, and make sure it's something that stresses you out like politics.
