Sciatica can be treated successfully if proper treatment is combined with proper nutrition. This condition, also known as lumbago, is inflammation and/or sciatic nerve compression which occur when the cells tears the fibrous network and gelatin disc out of place because of weakness or excessive work, causing the vertebra compress a nervous "cable". Among other symptoms, this condition causes pain in the lower back that may appear suddenly or when you make any effort such as coughing, sneezing, etc.

  • Salmon Salad with Avocado
  • Anti-Sciatica Shake
  • Seaweed Soup

Some dietary problems that cause this disorder are:

  • Lack of magnesium, since this is a mineral that nourishes and strengthens the nerve fibers and muscle.
  • Lack of B vitamins.

A cleansing diet consists in eating only grapes or pineapple for two or three days, choose only one fruit a day. Eat all the fruit you want and drink two liters of pure water.

Recommended foods: fruits and vegetables, especially banana, apricots, avocados, etc. As well as walnuts, almonds, etc. Soy products, legumes (lentils are excellent), seeds and whole grains too.

Not Recommended Foods: all the flour and refined sugars that wear terribly nervous system. Don’t eat cow's milk and derivatives, fried sausages and processed or junk food.

    It’s just crazy to think that controlling your diet could actually help with something like sciatica. A lot of times I associate diet will healing more subtle, internal conditions, like ulcers or skin conditions…but sciatica seems to be much more concrete. I guess it makes sense though, thanks for hte information!
