It’s a medical fact that more than 50% of us will experience at least one back injury during our lifetime. And a good portion will experience multiple episodes of back problems, requiring surgery. So preventing back pain can save your sanity down the road and billions in lost productivity and health-care resources to society. Because nearly everything you do requires the use of your back, and back problems are rarely the result of a single activity or accident. Healthyblackmen.org wants you to know how to take care of your back now so you can avoid future pain.
Diet and Back Pain
Think about it, you don’t see a lot of muscular or skinny people with back problems. Stomach muscles become weakened with additional belly fat and watching what you eat can help you decrease body fat overall. If you do not carry a lot of weight on your front, it will take a lot of strain off of your back muscles. But in addition to the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight, the right foods can also prevent back injuries. If you are tired and fatigued from lack of nutrition, you are much more likely to pull a muscle or acquire nother back injury.
