Beaufort Health and Fitness: Reduce Back Pain Through Eating

Reduce Back Pain Through Eating

“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart. I’m a Back Pain Relief Expert and Co- Creator of Back Pain Relief4Life and today what I wanted to speak to you about is how to eat for reducing back pain. Back pain is not just the one prong thing, it comes from different sources. So how you eat, how you move, are you sitting all day? Did you have a previous position for back pain? There’s a myriad of things going on, so I want to speak to you how you can eat to reduce back pain.

There’s a few things that you should look out:

1. How much water are you taking in? You should be intaking a lot of water… your discs are filled with a lot of water, and the more water you get, the more water will get into the discs and lubricate them. Think of it this way: if you don’t have water in the body it’s like driving your car without oil. The more water you have/ the more oil you have in the body, the less friction there’s going to be between joints.

2. Are you eating a lot of gluten and are you gluten sensitive? Gluten has an affinity for collagen, which is the cartilage around the joints; and will attack that and cause the collagen to be reduced so less lubrication on the joints; that will cause back pain immediately. Almost everybody is affected by gluten in society. It depends on how much you are affected by it but almost everybody is affected by it.

3. Dairy. Are you having a dairy that has been processed. Pocessed dairy causes you numerous issues in the intestines and inflammation throughout the whole body.

So look into that, those few things can be changed right away.

4. How much fruit and vegetables are you getting? How many nutrients are you getting, enzymes are you getting into your body. More fruits and vegetables are going to increase enzyme, minerals, vitamins that are micronutrients. We need micronutrients and macro. Macro would be protein, carbs, fats. Micro – vitamins. A lot of people are just getting the protein and the carbs but not getting the minerals that they need.

5. Also when you’re eating, how do you speak to yourself when you’re eating? Do you watch TV? Are you on your phone? Are you distracted constantly or feeling the stress working and eating? Well guess what? Essentially, if you’re doing that, the food is going to putrify in your stomach. It’s not going to get assimilated properly, you’re not going to break it down, you’re not going to absorb the nutrients that you need, that your back needs to getting better, to recover itself. So I want you to literally talk to yourself.

You might have heard that your intestines or stomach is like your second brain. Your brain is constantly in contact with the stomach and they speak to each other. So if you speak to yourself, you’re going to see better result. Before you start eating, I want you to relax, take 10 deep breaths in, this is going to activate your parasympathetic nervous system. It’s going to cause relaxation and digestion to increase and that’s actually where you need to be when you eat; is in a parasympathetic nervous system. And that is going to allow you to get what you need. So I want you to talk to yourself and say “I am about to eat this protein, protein is harder to break down, I’m going to chew it more, I’m going to chew 30 times so then I’m going to swallow it and we’re going to break it down and we’re going to be relaxed while I’m eating. Then I’m going to take this fiber or salad whatever it is tight fiber. I’m going to chew it 20 times and I’m sending it down to my stomach.” So talk to yourself. You can also do this with fats, however you want.

So the important thing is that you are talking to yourself and you are conscious of what you are doing when you are eating. You shouldn’t think of anything else except the food that you are taking in and how you’re taking it in. So reduce stress while you’re eating, assimilate the food better, you’ll get more nutrients into your body and to your back. Therefore, reducing the overall stress in your body and helping repair the back through vital nutrients – again, I said water and then eliminating any of the additive, preservatives, gluten, dairy that will cause inflammation.

So that’s one part of it, the other part is going to be exercising and strengthening and correcting muscular imbalances and then there’s also another side to it which will get into another video but the exercise side, go ahead and click the link below, we’re creators of one of the world’s greatest programs Back Pain Relief4Life.
