Treat for the spine

Treats for the spine: how to eat right for a healthy back

The spine is not only the support of our body, but also an important organ that needs proper nutrition for its health. If we eat improperly, we risk encountering problems associated with intervertebral discs, which can lead to spinal diseases such as osteochondrosis, scoliosis and others. But don't despair—there are treats that can help your spine stay healthy and strong.

Let's give up vegetarianism

The central core of the intervertebral disc consists of protein substances - glycosaminoglycans, which instantly absorb water and also instantly lose it. This quality is necessary to withstand stress. For the synthesis of complete proteins, amino acids contained in meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese, and whey are important. Keep in mind: you can’t do it with plant proteins alone - they lack 1-2 essential amino acids.

We eat grains, vegetables and fruits

Cook potatoes, vegetables, oatmeal, and grain products more often: they provide a constant and continuous flow of energy. But sweets, as well as honey, juices and fruits, are also good for the spine: these simple carbohydrates have very short glucose chains, and they are quickly absorbed into the blood and immediately processed into fuel. Thanks to them, the necessary amino acids are quickly transported to the intervertebral discs.

Fats in small quantities

For normal functioning of the disc, vitamins A, D, E, K are needed, which are absorbed only in combination with fats. Do not banish butter and vegetable oils from the table
