Simple solutions for Back Pain-#7 Vitamin C

 

Consider adding and/or increasing your Vitamin C intake.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant with many benefits.

In addition to improving the immune system, helping to lower cholesterol , improving symptoms of asthma, and a way to prevent various diseases, vitamin  C can help relieve back pain.  Among it’s  potent benefits, vitamin C aids in the repair of muscle tissues.

I prefer to get vitamin C from food in the most natural way possible.

Natural sources of Vitamin C include:  Oranges, Papaya, Cherries,  Strawberries and pineapple and broccoli.

Life is busy! For many of us,  it’s not always possible to increase vitamin  levels with nutrition.  Adding a supplement can be helpful.

May Health practitioners recommend supplementing with a 1000mg of Vitamin C a day.  Some practitioners recommend up to 3000-6000 mg. a day. *

Improving your nutrition,  and boosting your immune system can help manage back pain and often times decrease pain significantly.

* As always, please speak with your Medical doctor before adding or increasing any supplements.
