¶VITAMIN C 维生素 C
A lack of vitamin C is specifically involved in the cause and progression of chronic back problems such as sciatica and spinal stenosis. The premise is basic: long-term inadequacy of vitamin C causes weak spinal disks.
缺乏维生素 C 与坐骨神经痛和椎管狭窄等慢性背部疾病的成因和发展有特别的关系。前提是:长期缺乏维生素 C 会导致脊柱椎间盘薄弱。
Without enough vitamin C, the body is unable to make collagen, the protein glue that holds cells together. When the cells of a cartilaginous intervertebral disk are not holding together, the disk will degenerate, rupture, herniate, or “slip.” There is a lot of body weight on the bones of your lower back. When you flex and move, and the disks are weak or worn down, the bones can compress nerves emerging from the sides. If only one or two disks are involved, it may result in the characteristic back and leg pain called sciatica.
没有足够的维生素 C,人体就无法制造胶原蛋白,而胶原蛋白是将细胞粘在一起的蛋白质胶水。当软骨椎间盘的细胞无法固定在一起时,椎间盘就会退化、破裂、突出或 “滑脱”。腰部骨骼承受着身体的大量重量。当你弯曲和移动时,如果椎间盘薄弱或磨损,骨骼就会压迫从两侧出现的神经。如果只有一个或两个椎间盘受到影响,可能会导致特有的腰腿痛,即坐骨神经痛。
