Are you struggling with back pain or knee discomfort after running? Instead of reaching for pills, consider some effective "natural remedies" that have shown great results. Shape magazine consulted experts to highlight some interesting solutions for everyday health concerns.

Lower Back PainRemedy: Yoga! Activities like running, cycling, and golf can strain your back, making yoga an excellent alternative for those with back issues. It helps to relax the muscles and naturally alleviate pain while gradually strengthening the back. Experts suggest aiming for 75 minutes of yoga per week, though even just ten minutes a day can significantly ease discomfort, according to Telegrafi.

Muscle CrampsRemedy: Cereal muffins! Muscle cramps can arise from intense or inconsistent exercise as well as poor nutrition. To prevent cramps, enjoy cereal with a sprinkle of cinnamon and low-fat milk. Adding bran can also boost metabolism and help eliminate toxins from your body.

Knee PainRemedy: Acupuncture! Instead of relying on painkillers, try acupuncture. This treatment not only promotes relaxation but also boosts serotonin levels, which can help reduce pain perception.
