I will tell you about 7 miraculous superfoods that are good for back pain. It is said that health is 80% what you eat. Spinal health must be supported by healthy food in order to be free from back pain and to maintain a healthy back. Please check the food I will introduce you to next and take care of your back health.

1. Plant-based protein (soybeans, tofu, soy milk, etc.), Animal protein (skinned chicken, fish)

 The first is plant-based protein. Protein is essential. Only when protein is supplemented, your muscles are generated. If you have muscle loss or muscle degeneration, you will never be free from spinal pain and you will not be able to maintain your health.
 
However, the reason why I put plant-based protein first here is because animal protein causes inflammation. All your pain in your body is inflammation. Because inflammatory cells are activated, it hurts, and degenerative disc herniation and spinal stenosis are all a kind of inflammation. So, animal protein is high in things that worsen inflammation.
 
It means that it is better to supplement with plant-based protein rather than eating a lot of beef and pork to supplement protein. In addition, plant-based protein is rich in various antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals that help your spine and spinal muscles, so if you eat plant-based protein frequently, it can alleviate pain for those who suffer from chronic back pain.

2. Spinach, broccoli, kale

The second food I recommend is kale, broccoli, and spinach. Kale, broccoli, and spinach are vegetables that are very good for anti-inflammatory effects. Chronic spinal pain patients, patients who are not recovering after surgery, etc., were given a lot of kale, broccoli, and spinach, and research papers have been published showing that the pain index has decreased significantly.

3. Salmon

 The third is salmon. Salmon is rich in healthy protein that does not exacerbate pain. And it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. You might say that omega-3 fatty acids are cholesterol, but omega-3 fatty acids are very useful ingredients in strengthening our spine and muscles.
 
It is said that it also has anti-inflammatory effects. Omega-3 fatty acids that supplement protein and strengthen bones and tissues, as well as anti-inflammatory effects, so you should eat salmon often.

4. Calcium (green leafy vegetables, cheese, milk, plain yogurt)

The fourth is calcium. Looking at the paper, it says that calcium should be eaten in food form as much as possible. Eating in food form is the best, but if it is difficult, you can use calcium supplements. However, it can be sufficiently supplemented through the food you eat in daily life.
 
Calcium is the key to bone health. If you lack calcium, not only osteoporosis but also pain will worsen, and the cause of obesity is also becoming a major issue due to calcium deficiency.

5. Herbs, spices (turmeric, cinnamon, rosemary, basil)

It may be unfamiliar to Koreans, but it is herbs and spices. Herbs help with spinal health and several herbs that help are mentioned in the paper. The first is turmeric, which is turmeric.
 
It is said to help regenerate damaged tissue and is actually used for therapeutic purposes in a room. In addition, there are cinnamon, rosemary, and basil. It has anti-inflammatory effects, but it is difficult to eat it as is, so it is good to use it in various foods, sprinkled or mixed appropriately.

6. Berries

The sixth is berries such as strawberries and blueberries. Berries refer to fruits that have seeds inside, are watery, and have soft tissue pulp on the outside.
 
Typical examples of berries are strawberries, grapes, and persimmons. These berries are known to have excellent antioxidant effects and have been shown to be very helpful in strengthening the spine and spinal muscles through numerous research papers and experiments. If you eat a small amount lightly as a dessert once during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it will help alleviate pain.

7. Avocado

Finally, avocado. Avocado is a fruit that is very rich in healthy fats, which is a bit of a love-hate relationship. Avocado's rich unsaturated fats, healthy fats, suppress inflammation and are very helpful for spinal health. It is rich in potassium and fiber, which are essential for spinal muscle health.
 
Potassium found in natural foods is very important for pain relief and muscle health. However, it is high in calories, so excessive intake is prohibited. It can be difficult to eat at first. So, there are various avocado recipes, so you can eat them together through various dishes.

In conclusion

Those who are not relieved of pain with medication alone, those who suffer from side effects of medication, and those who have gone to the hospital and have nothing to do, if you use the 7 superfoods I have introduced today diligently and change your diet, it will be a great help in alleviating chronic back pain.
