Did you know that what you eat affects how you feel? Inflammation is the body’s natural defense system, but when it’s chronically activated, it becomes destructive—especially for joints and spinal discs.What the Research Says
A meta-analysis published in Nutrients (2019) revealed that pro-inflammatory diets high in sugar, processed foods, and omega-6 oils are linked to chronic back pain and degenerative disc disease. Anti-inflammatory diets, on the other hand, reduce oxidative stress and improve musculoskeletal health.
