This is another widely debated topic as regarding health.
For the fact that we would not like beat about the bush on this, we'd like to go straight to business. Here we have provided a comprehensive review from the medical view point.
In order to clear doubts, it is important to know what back pain really is. Back pain is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
Back pain can be caused by so many things e.g accidents, injuries, obesity, poor posture, etc, but most back pain syndromes are due to inflammation.
Fortunately or unfortunately to let you know, the answer is positive. It is a FACT that sugar causes back pain, not a myth.
YOU ASK, "BUT HOW COME, HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?"
Estimates show that 8 out of 10 people will suffer from back pain during their life. And as little as it seems, it is so surprising that sugar is one of the major causes of this pain. Every day foods such as cakes, yoghurt, candies, softdrinks, etc are stocked up with sugar.
New research reveals disturbing links between sugar and inflammation. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that processed sugars and other high-glycemic starches increase inflammation, which causes pain, overheating, redness and swelling. Poor regulation of glucose and insulin is the real cause of these problems.
Majority of our immune cells are found in our digestive system, making direct contact with the food we eat every day. The immune system can be triggered by a lot of things, and also an imbalance of important hormones such as insulin. This can set off the red alert of inflammation.
Under normal conditions, inflammation helps the body rebound from injury. But when inflammation becomes chronic, it could lead to many deadly diseases.
High amounts of sugar in the diet elevates your insulin levels, and also increase Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), a protein bound to a glucose molecule, resulting in damaged, cross-linked proteins.
As the body tries to break these AGEs apart, immune cells secrete inflammatory messengers called cytokines. Depending on where the AGEs occur and your genetic predisposition, they could eventually result in arthritis, cataracts, heart disease, poor memory or wrinkled skin.
SO WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS?
For some reasons we would refrain from stating ways on how to reduce this pain. It's been discovered that most people take information as these as substitutes for their doctor's advice. So the most important thing first of all is pay a visit to your doctor to lay your complains.
But generally, you can drastically reduce your sugar intake, and also get used to drinking plenty of water. Water helps in combating accumulation of the excess sugar, and also helps to enhance the height of your intervertebral disks thereby reducing friction.
