Latest Research on the Diet supplements for Regeneration of damaged Disc and Spine
Latest study in the Spinal healing indicate that Taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements and turmeric, an Indian curry spice, may benefit people with spinal-cord injury.
"Normal aging often narrows the spinal canal, putting pressure on the spinal cord and injuring tissue," explained principal investigator Dr. Langston Holly, associate professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "While surgery can relieve the pressure and prevent further injury, it can't repair damage to the cells and nerve fibers. We wanted to explore whether dietary supplementation could help the spinal cord heal itself," Holly stated.
Research Explained in Indian Context:
Curcumin(chemical compound in Haldi) known as Turmeric in India; is very low in calories, but rich in vitamins and minerals. The following is detailed interpretation of the dose and type of diet to be taken.
How much Turmeric to be taken daily:
Dose of Turmeric: If you are taking turmeric powder daily dose should be as under
2 spoon in morning, 2 spoon in the evening and 2 spoon in evening; to be taken with warm milk, sugar as per taste. The powder can be mixed in the milk or eaten by spoon and than milk can be taken. This will give a dose of 6 gm turmeric( 1gm turmeric powder has 4-5 %)
In place of turmeric powder you can have capsules of curcumin containing 300-500 mg curcumin one capsule per day.
Food rich in omega-3 fatty acid:-
1. Meat and Dairy Products: Meat, Cheese, Milk( of animals which eat more of grass or reared in natural environment) have more omeg-3 fatty acid.
2. Fish: Only natutal river water fish, not farmed fish. Plankton and algae are rich in omega-3 and the natural food for many types of fish. Oily fish has omega-3 in their flesh and fat.
3. Fats and Vegetable Oil:There are many types of fat, some good for your health and others not so good. Fat can be categorized into four groups: cholesterol, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. Cholesterol is needed in the cells and for some hormones. LDL (low density lipoprotein) is sometimes also called bad cholesterol, and HDL (high density lipoproteins) is the good cholesterol. It is the lipoproteins that transport the cholesterol in the body.
Saturated fat only has single bonds which makes its structure stable, and the fat is solid at room temperature. Too much saturated fat can be bad for your health. Monounsaturated fat is a good fat, it has one double bond and is liquid at room temperature. Olive oil and rapeseed oil contains lots of monounsaturated fat.
The essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 are polyunsaturated. The fish oil EPA and DHA have five and six double bonds, and are therefore liquid even at lower temperatures. Fish oil is heat-sensitive and should be stored in a refrigerator to avoid oxidation. It should therefore not be used for cooking because the heat will destroy the oil.
Another type of fat is trans fatty acids which can be either natural or artificial. Diary products from ruminants naturally contain trans fatty acids, but they can also be artificially created in a lab. This type of artificial fat (hydrogenated fat) is very stable. It is therefore often used in the food industry to prolong the lifespan for preprocessed food. This is considered to be the worst fat of all, and should be avoided if possible. Pastries, ice cream, fried food and preprocessed food often contain hydrogenated fat.

Type of oil Omega-3 Omega-6 Monounsaturated fat Saturated fat
Flaxseed oil 57 16 18 9
Rapeseed oil 10 22 62 6
Soybean oil 7 54 24 15
Walnut oil 5 51 28 16
Olive oil (extra virgin) 1 8 77 14
Corn oil 1 61 25 13
Peanut oil 0 33 49 18
Safflower oil 0 77 13 10
Sesame oil 0 41 46 13
Sunflower oil 0 69 20 11
Olive oil mainly consists of a monounsaturated fatty acid called oleic acid.which is an omega-9 fatty acidand can protect the omega-3 from oxidation
