Can I eat waxberries if I have lumbar bone spurs?

Patients with bone spurs in the lumbar spine can moderately consume bayberries (Chinese strawberries). Bayberries are rich in vitamin C, cellulose, minerals, organic acids, and other nutrients. Moderate consumption can help enhance immunity, promote intestinal motility, and aid in detoxification and beautification. However, patients should avoid excessive intake of bayberries to prevent indigestion. Additionally, patients should avoid consuming raw, cold, spicy, or irritating foods, such as chili peppers, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic, as well as high-purine and greasy foods, to prevent worsening of the condition. It is recommended to include more fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet to supplement essential nutrients. Patients with lumbar bone spurs should pay special attention to their diet and properly balance food intake to support the recovery process.
