NATURAL INGREDIENTS FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF: The following are some natural ingredients for back pain relief. Turmeric: Turmeric is best known as a spice that gives a distinctive flavor and yellow color to curry powder and mustard. It is a member of the ginger family and has long been used for healing. In India, curcumina component of turmeric is considered a standard anti-inflammatory medication. It appears to be most effective for acute (as opposed to chronic) inflammation. Ginger: Ginger is revered around the world for its pungent taste. It is a natural spice that is also widely prized for its medicinal properties. Ginger helps to relieve chronic pain by reducing inflammation and, particularly when taken in standardized extract form, by lowering the body's level of natural pain-causing compounds called prostaglandins. Yucca: Yucca is also known by the names Spanish Bayonet, Guardian Of The Desert, Needle Palm, and Soap weed. Yucca, a member of the lily family, grows in abundance throughout the Southwestern United States and Mexico. The part of this plant used medicinally is the root. Yucca is used today to treat inflammations caused by degenerative diseases like arthritis and rheumatism. Boron: Boron is a mineral that aids in the production of natural steroid compounds within the body, which is necessary for healthy bones and muscle growth. It is also vital for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. This mineral is found naturally in apples, carrots, grapes, dark green leafy vegetables, raw nuts, pears, and whole grains. Boron increases brain function, promotes alertness, and helps the body utilize energy from fats and sugars. Boron supplementation can help prevent osteoporosis and build muscle, and is a benefit for elderly people to aid in calcium absorption. Vitamin D: Vitamin D is called the sunlight vitamin because the body

produces it when the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays strike the skin. It is the only vitamin the body manufactures naturally and is technically considered a hormone. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from food and supplements. If the body does not have an adequate amount of vitamin D, it will extract calcium from bones and cartilage which over time leads to osteoporosis. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant that is summoned from the body's fatty tissue where it's stored. It protects cells by deactivating or destroying the potentially damaging oxygen molecules called free radicals. As a key antioxidant, vitamin E

appears to play a modest but notable role in protecting the body from many chronic disorders. It may even slow the aging process and guard against damage from secondhand smoke and other pollutants. Circulatory disorders, skin and joint problems, diabetes-related nerve complications, high cholesterol, endometriosis, immune-system function, and memory are also believed to benefit from vitamin E. FOODS TO AVOID: 1.The back painers should avoid food and drinks containing caffeine, which reduces our ability to make endorphins that are the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals. 2.Reduce meat food, which will exacerbate any inflammation. 3.Reduce animal fats, white-flour-based cakes, breads and biscuits all of which weakens the immune system. FRIENDLY FOODS: * Eat oily fish at least twice a week for its anti-inflammatory properties. * Add fresh rosemary to meals to improve circulation and aid healing. * Ginger, turmeric and cayenne can all improve circulation and anti-inflammatory effects. * Cauliflower, berries, sweet potatoes, potatoes, fresh fruits(especially cherries) and green leafy vegetables are all rich in vitamin c that helps to produce collagen, which makes up 90% of the bone matrix and also acts as a mild anti-inflammatory. * Keep general health hints daily. !
