arise Back pain Due to an injury, incorrect posture, lack of exercise, or even a sudden jerk. It can last for a day or even go on for a long time. And although ensuring a proper fitness regimen to keep bones and joints in good condition is obvious, there is another way to boost body strength and longevity, according to healthifyme.
The food we eat plays an exceptional role in ensuring the health of every part of the body – including the back. Food intake also determines how our body can withstand injuries and prevent any kind of chronic back pain.
Foods that may help reduce back pain
1- Extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil contains properties that can reduce inflammation and help with joint and back pain. Oleocanthal, which is found in olive oil, can have similar effects to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
2 – fatty fish
Fatty fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. While their anti-inflammatory properties keep body metrics in check, unsaturated fats also reduce joint pain and body stiffness. Fish is also an excellent source of vitamin D, an essential nutrient whose deficiency can exacerbate back pain and even cause arthritis.
3 – Nuts and seeds
Another vital source of omega-3 fatty acids is raw nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Eating these nuts regularly (meaning a handful each day) reduces inflammation and repairs aggravated tissues.
The consumption of nuts also strengthens the bones in the long term, which reduces the chances of developing any injury in the back area.
4 – vegetables
Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and spinach should be part of everyone’s diet plan. They contain vitamins A, C, and K, which are antioxidants known to reduce inflammation. They also offer another benefit – a natural compound called sulforaphane, which blocks an enzyme that causes joint pain.
5 – pulses
Pulses like lentils, beans, and chickpeas are a rich source of protein, minerals, flavonoids, and fiber. Not only does it help in providing strength to the body, but its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties also reduce back pain to a great extent and heal tissues faster.
