Diet and Back Pain

Some of this article was interesting, but I would not agree with eating pasta. Fruits, veggies, whole grains, proteins, seafood and the 6 small meals a day. Also use a small plate instead of a regular size plate.

I totally disagree with this. I have started eating Primal no grains, processed foods and no sugar. I have never felt better and have solved my problem with constipation and other things. If I eat grains I hurt more and feel awful. There is nothing good for you in grains that you cannot get from vegtables. Vegtables have more vitiamins more nutrients and more fiber in the case of green fibrous vegtables then in even the best grains. This is Jeanne (Punky 1960)

Isn't it interesting how much we have learned about nutrition in the past 15 years.

yeah

yeah

I wish that I would have known about my nutrition before I had serious problems.

good

This was a good article on basic nutrition. I think we sometimes forget how important eating right can be for helping with back issues.
