Back pain relief and osteoporosis prevention advice from Professor Tim Spector
He says drinking milk for healthy bones is a myth.
If you have back trouble from conditions like osteoporosis, you could alleviate the pain with a new diet according to nutritional scientist Tim Spector. And despite what we were told throughout our entire childhoods, he said guzzling milk isn't all it takes for healthy bones.

Professor Spector said it is not 'any one item' such as calcium or zinc that can reduce the impact of osteoporosis. The Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College in London recently appeared on the Zoe podcast where he told listeners how a balanced diet can reduce the impact of the condition by 40%.

This site is picking up a lot of advice from Professor Tim Spector, the founder of Zoe Health, I would be interested to hear if you find it helpful.

Professor Tim Spector, the founder of Zoe Health, is encouraging people to eat more dark green vegetables. He said this can boost your gut health considerably and protect you against cancer and dementia.

Professor Spector referenced his research with the American Gut Project where he found eating 30 different plants weekly promotes many aspects of your health. He said this is 'one of the best things you can do' for your health.
