The Benefits of Nutritional Counseling and Organic Foods
by Dr. Eric Santjer
In order to function at an optimal level, our bodies require essential vitamins and nutrients. Without a proper diet, our bodies do not receive enough of these vitamins and nutrients, and become weakened as a result. At Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, our chiropractor offers nutritional counseling to help patients shed excess pounds, fortify their bodies, and strengthen their immune systems with the power of a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
A poor diet, can not only lead to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a myriad of other health problems, but can also weaken the body's immune system and slow the healing process. Without proper nutrients, none of the body's vital systems can function at a normal level. This leaves people feeling fatigued, depressed, and generally unwell. Poor or unmonitored nutrition can also lead to problems like allergies and migraines.
Working one on one with each patient, our chiropractor develops a unique nutrition plan for each individual. Each nutrition plan is developed to serve that patient's distinct nutritional needs and goals, whether that be weight loss, food allergy, a low sodium diet, or gaining more energy.
Our chiropractor also recommends that patients look for the 100% Organic USDA certified sticker on foods. This ensures that the foods consumed are free from harmful pesticides and food additives like processing aids, preservatives, fortifying agents, artificial coloring and flavors, monosodium glutamate, and artificial sweeteners. These chemicals are not only difficult for the body to process, they can also be harmful to the body, acting as carcinogens and/or allergens, irritating the body internally as they pass through.
Use Chiropractic Care in Conjunction with a Healthy Diet
We also recommend nutritional counseling to complement regular chiropractic adjustments. With enough nutrition and a properly aligned spine, the body can function at its peak level. Our patients who use nutritional counseling in conjunction with spinal adjustments enjoy accelerated healing, a stronger immune system, and overall wellbeing.
