It’s important to keep your spine healthy and strong so here is a list of nutrients and vitamins you should be consuming for your spine:

  • Calcium: Calcium helps to strengthen your muscles, bones and spinal discs. Consuming calcium-enriched foods helps to reduce the risk of spinal fractures.
  • Vitamin D: Vitamin D helps to maintain bone strength and reduces inflammation in your back.
  • Magnesium: Magnesium helps to improve bone strength and density. Consuming magnesium also helps to reduce muscle spasms and helps to relax your muscles.
