What are some best foods for spine health?
- Vegetables
- Salmon and other coldwater fish
- Dairy Products
Vegetables
To start the list, we mention vegetables because it’s the best type of food that you should incorporate into your daily meals. Having a more plant-based diet will prevent inflammation and many other complications. But there are specific vegetables that are great for maintaining a healthy spine. Vegetables such as kale, broccoli, and spinach fight against inflammation in the cartilage in the spinal column, which also prevents back pain. In general, vegetables with strong colors are better for your health. The same veggies are also great for other parts of your body, such as your teeth! They come highly recommended by dentists, so it's a good idea to start adding them to your diet.Salmon and other coldwater fish
The two best things about salmon are that it’s delicious and it can help maintain a healthy spine. Salmon contains an important nutrient: omega-3 fatty acids. They keep your body healthy, supply energy to organs, are important components of cell walls, and also fight inflammation, a leading cause of back pain. Salmon, when eaten with the vegetables mentioned above, makes your battle against inflammation a winning one.
Other coldwater fish that are omega-3 fatty acids are mackerel, sardines, herring, black cod, tuna, and trout.
Dairy Products
Dairy products are incredibly important to your bone health. This is because dairy products are rich in calcium. Calcium helps keep our bones strong. It is found most commonly in milk, but other dairy products are also abundant in this mineral. Weaker bones mean that your spinal column is more susceptible to damage or other complications. It is even easier to have spine problems as you grow older because it becomes harder to maintain bone mass. The solution? Increase your intake of dairy products. Add more milk or cheese or yogurt to your diet to maintain healthy levels of calcium, which, in turn, contributes to a healthy spine. Of course, you should still be aware of the amount you’re eating because too much dairy in your diet can also be a bad thing.Key Takeaway
