Sciatica & Back Pain Cure Center

Your back is a crucial, yet sensitive organ that has a complicated and vital task. Nutritional or vitamin deficiencies are likely to show up as non-specific back pain or back malfuntion. You can spend an age (and a lot of money) seeing doctors or back specialists without realising that your problems are diet-related.

Just give your back (and the rest of your body) the nutrition it needs to function properly and the problems usually go away. This is an area where nutrition supplements can help (see below) stop your back pain. 

Healthy diet and natural health - you could be forgiven for believing we have forgotten what they are and that the world is gripped by diet mania. Have you tried typing “diet” into your favourite search engine lately? You’ll find a whopping 67,700,000 entries. How about “weight loss”? Over 21,000,000 (yes million) entries.

Working your way through that lot would probably burn as many kilojoules as a workout at the gym, if you could stay motivated and follow your plan for long enough. And isn’t that just what it’s like trying to stick to a diet?

Kilojoules - Food For Thought

Even the kilojoules aren’t easy to follow. (Unless, of course you are gripped by diet mania, in which case you’ll know the kilojoule content of everything that does or doesn’t make it past your lips).

Some food groups, e.g. fats and alcohol, are absolutely loaded with them! So a little education is part of a healthy diet too. Look at this example:

The Deadly Donut!

Have you ever fancied a little something to eat and popped a small, iced donut into your mouth? A small, iced donut represents 1430 kilojoules worth of energy!

You definitely could have chosen your kilojoules more wisely, satisfied your hunger for longer and nourished your body.

Contrast the donut with this whole list of nourishing food that also adds up to 1430 kilojoules:

60 grams tuna (220 kilojoules), wholemeal bread roll (600 kilojoules), 1 cup lettuce (20 kilojoules), 1/2 cup cucumber (35 kilojoules), 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes (60 kilojoules), 1/2 cup red peppers (45 kilojoules), 1/2 cup asparagus (45 kilojoules), 20 grams black olives (150 kilojoules) and then …..

1 cup strawberries (115 kilojoules) with 1/2 cup low fat yoghurt (240 kilojoules).

Hmmm! Food for thought indeed. One small iced donut or tuna, a bread roll, 3 cups of salad, followed by strawberries and yoghurt.

How Do You Choose The Right Diet?

One of the main reasons that there is a whole industry making billions of dollars out of diet and weight loss programs is that it’s so easy to eat the wrong foods and there’s less ‘inbuilt’ exercise in our daily lives.

So which are the healthy diets and how do you choose the right program to follow?

No matter which weight loss program you choose, do research it first and follow it carefully. Don’t set yourself up to be disappointed by choosing a diet that has great short term results but which you can’t stick to. And don’t risk damaging your long-term health by rushing into a fad diet.

What Are The Basic Things To Look Out For?

Healthy diets have the following:

Number 1: Fresh natural foods win every time. Grains, fruit, vegetables and grilled lean meat or fish are your best bet.

Number 2: Exercise as a component of the diet. The higher you get your resting metabolic rate, the more you can eat. This is a fancy way of saying exercise more.

Your body has a energy burn rate (your metabolic rate) depending upon your lifestyle and genetic makeup. You can raise this by increasing your activity level.

If you exercise regularly, you get two benefits.

(a) the benefit of the energy burn from a specific exercise session and

(b) you also raise the resting energy burn level. This means you burn more energy (and fat) even when you’re resting. Good news!

Low Carbohydrate Diets

Low carbohydrate diets or high protein diets are popular and there are many variations on the theme.

They have been proven to be very effective for sufferers of Type 2 diabetes needing to lose body fat, particularly women. But are they healthy diets? Is it healthy to eat a lot of protein? They are not recommended by organizations promoting heart health because they tend to be high in saturated fats and there is no data (yet) on the long term effects of following a low carbohydrate diet.

The Value Of Nutrition Supplements

Nutrition supplements have become popular because many people have found they have made a huge difference to their health and wellbeing by taking them. The reason they work is because many modern foods, especially processed and packaged foods, have a low nutritional value.

Even fresh foods sometimes have a low nutritional value or are missing vital trace elements because of farming practices, soil depletion, over long food storage and so on.

So the role of a food supplement is to replace the vital minerals and trace elements that are missing. To use a car analogy, think of these as the vital lubricants and special fluids without which a car won’t run properly. 

Because your back is such a sensitive organ with a complicated and vital task, nutritional or vitamin deficiencies are likely to show up as back pain or back malfuntion.

BodyBalance® is one of the best supplements we have found. It is a liquid sea-vegetation blend that actually contains more phyto nutrients and phyto minerals than any other kind of food.

Phytonutrients are certain organic components of plants that are thought to promote human health. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and teas are rich sources of phytonutrients and you can reduce your risk of cancer and heart disease by increasing consumption of phytonutrient-rich foods.

As important, Body Balance® is a WHOLE FOOD (unlike many synthetic vitamins), so up to 98% of its nutrients are immediately available for absorption by your body.

The phyto nutrients in Body Balance are available for immediate assimilation at the cellular level to provide your body with essential minerals and nutrition.
