Did you resolve to be healthier this year? Avoiding the drive-thru and dusting off your gym membership are two good ways to start. Being healthy, however, is more than cutting back on fast food and breaking a sweat. Chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes affect millions of Americans each year. To truly be healthy in 2013 – and reduce your risk for chronic illness – it is important to take a proactive approach to your health.
Detox Diet Supports Wellness
Kick-start your new year with these healthy living resolutions:
1. Lose weight – and keep the pounds off. Are you trapped on a weight loss rollercoaster? Many “lose weight quick” diets deprive the body of vital nutrients, leading to yo-yo dieting. With our nutritional counseling services, we can help you finally lose weight and keep the pounds off. Start your weight loss with a detox diet that cleans toxins from your system. This restores balance to your digestive system, supporting healthy weight loss.
2. Eat whole foods. Are you feeding your body the equivalent of junk food? Many foods labeled “low fat” are actually packed with extra sugars, sodium, artificial flavors and preservatives. These so-called diet foods are actually unhealthy, depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to be healthy. This year, feed your body a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and lean protein. These whole foods support a healthy digestive system and provide your body with the building blocks to truly thrive. Even better, you will enjoy more energy and have fewer low-grade illnesses, while reducing your risk for chronic health problems.
3. Support spinal health. The spine is the foundation for a healthy body. Regular chiropractic adjustments keep your spine properly aligned, reducing the risk for illness, injury and fatigue. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, practicing proper posture at work and home supports spinal health. If you spend long hours working at a computer, be sure that your chair is properly adjusted to support your lower back. Our chiropractor is happy to answer any questions you may have about ergonomics and back pain prevention.
