Medical professionals, including chiropractors, physicians, nutritionists, and others, are taking an increasingly holistic view of health. For example, nutritional guidance can be combined with chiropractic care and massage therapy to encourage better overall health. If you live in or near Ellsworth or Bangor, ME, stop by the Back In Balance Wellness Center.
Nutrition and Massage Therapy Combined
A balanced diet provides many health benefits. For example, if you’re overweight, it may strain your back and spine, as well as other muscles and joints. By losing weight, you can reduce strain on your body. A healthy diet can help you lose weight.
If you’ve suffered an injury, perhaps during an accident, chiropractic care can relieve sore muscles and can help you realign your neck and back. Some green vegetables and berries are believed to reduce inflammation. With the right diet, you may be able to reduce swelling after an injury or accident. Some supplements, like fish oil, may also reduce inflammation.
Massage therapy and hands-on spinal treatment may benefit your digestive system. The right hands-on treatment combined with a healthy diet may encourage your body to flush out toxins.
Creating a Diet Plan
Some foods and supplements also encourage stronger bones. A diet rich in calcium, for example, may aid in recovery if you’ve recently suffered a broken arm or leg. Likewise, some foods and supplements encourage muscle health and growth. If you’re trying to strengthen muscles after a severe injury, the right diet may help.
Unfortunately, crafting the right diet is easier said than done. Even if you follow basic guidelines and eat many vegetables and fruits, it may not be enough. Those minerals and chemicals that most promote strong bones or reduce inflammation may not be available in high enough quantities in the foods you consume.
If you’re serious about crafting a diet that promotes health, it’s wise to speak with an expert. With the right nutritional guidance and an in-depth review of your diet, you may be able to create a food plan that will promote strong health.
