Nutritional Counseling and Organic Foods Will Help You Heal

Many patients needing chiropractic treatment can also benefit from professional nutritional counseling. This is because good nutrition underlies successful healing of all kinds, which includes eating the kinds of foods and drinking the kinds of drinks that support wellbeing and rapid healing. If you have never studied nutrition or worked with a counselor before, then you have been missing an extremely valuable component of good health.

Consider that your body is made to heal itself, but it needs support. Every time it takes action, a chemical process takes place in the cells involved, which uses up nutrients and releases toxins. Whereas our Vancouver chiropractors, at Back & Neck Care Chiropractic & Sports Massage, can manipulate limbs, so your body can release those toxins more easily, your job is to replace the nutrients used.

This means eating and drinking substances that promote good health, rather than undermining it. It means eating fresh foods grown without pesticides (which are toxic), and avoiding those that do not support the type of body you have.

Nutritional Foods that Help Heal

No bodies need highly processed flours or sugars. For healing, chips and dip are out. So are white breads, over-processed meats (e.g. hot dogs), and sugary "foods" like cake and ice cream (save it for after you have healed).

Organic foods are ideal. This is because "organic" cannot be labeled as such, if grown with chemical-based fertilizers, or if pesticides were used to kill insects. Organic foods, although they can cost more than the mass-generated foods, will help you heal faster and stay healthier than those you normally buy in super-duper grocery stores. You can save money on insurance and feel better in the process.

Our Vancouver chiropractors, at Back & Neck Care Chiropractic & Sports Massage, offer nutritional counseling where we can help you work out dietary changes, if you are not yet aware of what to do.
