Healthy eating is directly related to chiropractic so it is important to maintain good eating habits during and after your treatment.
Drinking lots of water is crucial. Your body uses water constantly and the discs in your body have a large amount of water entrenched in them. If the discs do not get enough water, speed of recovery will be significantly affected.
Many people believe eating carbohydrates is bad for your health. This is not true. Carbohydrates can be a good source of protein if the proper types are chosen, and healthy portions eaten. For example, a 3 oz chicken breast has 27 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 142 calories; whereas a 3 oz turkey breast has 25 grams of protein, .8 grams of fat, and 113 calories.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making the right choices, you will not only improve your health, but your recovery will benefit as well. |
