Food Sources of Copper

Increasing copper in the body can also help with back pain. Iron and copper in the diet form red blood cells in the body. This helps keep blood vessels and nerves healthy. A lack of copper has been shown to be a factor in osteoporosis. Good sources of copper in the diet include carrots, garlic, and ginger root.
