Healthy Back Nutrition - Superfoods

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

One of the points we make regularly is that poor nutrition is often a contributor to back pain and sciatica.

This doesn’t necessarily sound logical when you first hear it because siatica and back pain are “mechanical” problems, so what does nutrition have to do with them?

The answer is that much of the food in the western world is nutritionally poor. It’s over processed, full of chemical additives, probably several months old, likely treated for long term storage and so on.

The US is clearly the worst in this situation, because the regulations are heavily biased towards profitability for the food suppliers, not health for the consumer.

Many foods and/or their treatments used in the US are actually illegal in European countries.

Going back to sciatica and back pain, if your body is deprived of vital nutrients and vitamins (in a form it can assimilate) for long enough, it starts to malfunction - just like a machine fed the wrong fuel and lubicants would break down too.

Because your spine is such a complex, important and sensitive organ, it is likely nutritional problems will show up there. Also, if you do get a back injury, its going to be difficult to heal.

The solution is remarkably simple:
(a) short term take a food supplement
(b) longer term - start to eat fresh, natural foods.

However, it’s actually time consuming and often difficult to buy fresh, natural and healthy foods, so many people carry on taking a supplement as insurance and because it works for them (it costs less per month than one coffee a day).

Here is a link to a great article on food supplements - a so called superfood - http://www.naturalnews.com/022566.html

Importantly, there is a link in the article to a special offer on Boku Super Food. Get to their online store by clicking this link

It’s a time limited offer organised by Natural News whom I trust. With their offer you can get a 30 day supply for $20 which I think is a great bargain (usually $50).

In 30 days you should notice a difference in both your overall health and your back. I reckon it’s absolutely worth $20 to find out if it helps you.

I have no financial interest in this offer and get no commission from your purchase.

Good luck.
