A study found that athletes with lower vitamin D levels were at a greater risk for core muscle injuries and potential hernia development. While surgery is the primary treatment for a hernia, supporting your body with key vitamins can be vital for tissue strength and recovery. A nutritional approach, when combined with medical advice, can provide significant supportive benefits.

According to a 2024 study, dietary factors, including excessive salt and alcohol, can be related to the development of different types of hernias. This research highlights that while a bad diet doesn't directly cause a hernia, it can increase the risk by contributing to related issues like obesity and high abdominal pressure.
