What To Eat For Good Spinal Health

Plant-based proteins

Go for foods like chia seeds, lentils, and beans. On top of the protein punch, they're packed full of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Leafy green vegetables

We should all eat more vegetables, and certain veggies contain properties that will help combat spinal issues. Kale, for example, works well against inflammation.

Broccoli

Broccoli is another inflammation buster. Serve up a bowl of steamed broccoli garnished with sea salt.

Spinach

Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and bursting with iron, magnesium, and manganese, spinach is well known for its anti-inflammatory and back-pain-fighting properties.

Bok choy

It's a vegetable packed with antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and K, which protect cells from free-radical damage.

Salmon

A super source of lean protein, salmon is packed with another helpful nutrient: omega-3 fatty acids. Lightly grilled salmon with pepper, rosemary, and parsley makes for a super healthy meal.

Sardines

Omega-3 fatty acids promote bone and tissue health, and have proven anti-inflammatory properties.

Dairy products

Calcium is an essential mineral. As well as enabling our blood to clot, our muscles to contract, and our heart to beat, calcium builds bones and keeps them healthy.
