Cervical Spondylosis Diet

A healthy diet that is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals is essential for a healthy body. Include foods in your diet such as fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamin A and C.

These foods will help fight against free radicals in your body that are responsible for inflammation, and help to reduce painful swelling around the neck. Food items such as turmeric root extract, garlic, cloves and cinnamon can also help in reducing joint irritation. Foods like milk, almonds, soybeans etc. are a rich source of calcium.

Frequent consumption of these foods help to maintain our bones and joints and keep them healthy. Food rich in omega 3 and vitamin E such as oilseeds, fish and nuts are also helpful to combat joint inflammation. People suffering from cervical spondylosis should avoid taking curd and baked foods. Spicy, hot, salty, oily foods should also be avoided. Other food items such as red meat, white potatoes and coffee should be avoided as these foods can increase acid load in the body.

I have coped with pain from multilevel degenerative cervical spondylosis for 10 years and now it has become more constant and much more nagging. There are periods when pain isn't as sever but it is constantly present. This makes it difficult to concentrate and focus on anything else and do normal things in life. I am very depressed over this and do not know what to do. I sought counselling, but it is not helping because I can not detach my mind from the pain in the back. Has anybody else had same experience and how have overcome this.
