— Here’s How to Eat to Feel Better, Not Stiffer

8 out of 10 adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives. And it’s not just the sitting, the stress, or the swing — it’s often what’s on your plate.

Let’s cut to it: if you’re stretching, foam rolling, and chasing physio appointments… but your lunch still looks like a sugar crash in disguise, you’re feeding your pain.

If you are a golfer, a desk warrior, or both — here’s what to eat (and what to reduce) to support your spine, joints, and swing. No fluff. Just fixes.

🎥 Need instant relief? Watch my YouTube session - this will soothe your back ache faster than you can find that pain killer.

Why Diet Matters for Golfers, Desk Workers & Stiff Joints

Every swing. Every desk day. Every slow-motion “ugh” when getting out of a chair. That’s not just muscle tension — it’s often chronic inflammation you trigger at breakfast.

Research shows that diets high in processed foods and refined oils spike inflammation markers, worsening joint stiffness, tissue breakdown, and postural pain. On the flip side, anti-inflammatory diets can:

Reduce spinal compression and flare-ups
Support tissue repair from RSI and overuse
Improve rotation and golf mobility
Speed up recovery post-round or post-workout
Ease symptoms of arthritis, especially in the spine, knees, and hips

Let’s make this real: you can’t rotate well when your spine is inflamed. And you can’t fix that with more reps. It starts with your meals

✨ Feel Better, Move Smarter

You don’t need another cleanse. You need a real fix that starts in your kitchen and shows up in your swing.

This is the part most people skip…They stretch. They sweat. But they ignore the inflammation that’s built, meal by meal, over years.
