Manage Neck Pain With The Right Diet

Your neck is a complex structure made up of many interconnected bones, blood vessels, muscles, nerves and ligaments. Neck pain usually occurs due to muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, incorrect posture, worn out joints or compression of the nerves. To prevent neck pain, you usually take all sorts of precautions like regular exercise and correct posture.

But have you ever thought about the food you eat?  

If you eat food which helps to strengthen the vertebrae and the surrounding muscles, then the risk of neck pain gets reduced.   

Neck pain diet: what to eat

1. Omega-3 fatty acids: They are usually found in fatty fish like mackerel and can help to lower the inflammatory chemicals in your body. This will help reduce the intensity and incidence of pain.

2. Antioxidants: Fruits like apples and oranges are rich in antioxidants and fibre which help to lower the intensity of the inflammation in the neck. Numerous studies exists testifying the health benefits of eating fruits every day.

3. Calcium and vitamin D: Sometimes the source of the neck pain can be the wear and tear of the vertebrae in your neck. In order to keep the delicate bones healthy, you need to eat calcium-rich foods like milk and cheese. The vitamin D (found in yogurt) helps the body to absorb calcium in the bones efficiently.

4. Magnesium: If you don’t get enough calcium, you may become more susceptible to neck pain, muscle tension and stiffness. The muscles in your neck need magnesium in order to contract and relax. Foods like spinach, almonds and soybeans are rich in magnesium.

5. Water: Muscle pain can be caused by inadequate hydration. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day in order to maintain the balance of electrolytes and minerals in your body.

Your diet can help you keep neck pain under control. However, if you are in excessive pain from an acute flair-up, you should consult a specialized neck pain clinic without delay.
