5. Calcium and magnesium

Proper contraction and relaxation of muscles relies on adequate levels of calcium and magnesium.  Insufficient levels can lead to chronic muscle tension, spasm and even cramp, again making one more vulnerable to acute exacerbation of mechanical back strain

Proper muscle function is very dependent on optimum muscle nutrition. This includes high quality supplementation with calcium and magnesium and Omega 3 (I recommend the Nutrilite brand) and adequate intake of good quality protein – chicken breast and fish.
