Nutrition Change to a Whole Foods Plant-Based Diet

Many know they can visit a chiropractor for adjustments, muscle massage, and physical therapy. Chiropractors practice holistic health techniques to advise our clients on diet and nutrition. The body's chemical processes depend on food. Therefore, you can build a firm foundation for a pain-free life by monitoring your dietary intake. Reed Chiropractic in Solon, OH, can provide more information below.

Improved Diet 

One option for a healthier diet is the "whole food plant-based" method. A person using this approach reduces or eliminates meat and dairy intake. In addition, a well-thought-out whole-food plant diet will avoid the following:

  • Processed foods with extra sugar, excess fat, or white flour
  • Most meat and dairy consumption
  • Food is processed in other ways, including food fried in oils

Most foods in this diet will come from vegetables or fruit, including legumes like beans or peas and nuts. If you are reluctant to avoid meat completely, you should at least strive to reduce the amount of red meat in your diet and replace it with white meats like poultry. As with the rest of the diet, processed foods should be avoided in favor of whole foods which can be cooked.

Benefits of a Nutrition Change 

The whole food plant diet can reduce cancer, high blood pressure, harden the arteries, and may reduce thyroid and other glandular trouble. As such, it can be a powerful tool for reaching a healthier lifestyle.

Familial Effort

Often, a family will try to take up a healthier diet plan together. However, the entire family must pitch in for this approach to work. Thankfully, many wonderful meat-less and plant-based recipes are available, which are nutritious and delicious. For those family members reluctant to give up meat altogether, several excellent recipes, like tomato-based beef-less "beef stews," look and taste almost like the original. With some research, one can provide original and outstanding menus every night of the week.
