Hippocrates once said “Let food by thy medicine and medicine by thy food.” What you eat is very important because if you think about it, all the energy you receive comes from what you eat. This is why diet and nutrition are a big piece to our health as a whole. People that eat foods high in nutrients are more likely to be in better physical shape, think better, and be less sick than those that don’t. We all know that junk food is bad for us (why else would they call it “junk”?), but food has changed so much in a generation, it is hard to keep track of what we should be eating for our health.
- Should I eat eggs normally or just the egg whites?
- What’s the difference between cage free, grain fed, grass fed chicken eggs?
- What about grass fed beef?
- What’s better for you, butter or margarine?
- Is milk bad for you?
- Can soy cause cancer?
- What is a detox? Do I need to do it?
- Is organic food really necessary?
- Can supplements actually be bad for me? What are whole food supplements?
- What’s worse, not eating fish, or being exposed to mercury?
- Will artificial sweeteners allow me to lose weight?
- What is gluten? Is whole wheat bad for me if it contains gluten?
These are some of the more difficult questions that people are asking and they don’t always get straight answers. One of my passions is to stay current on all the nutrition news. I believe that diet and nutrition play an extremely important role in one’s health. Creating a diet and nutrition plan is just one of the services we have to offer at Spencare Chiropractic Health to help patients reach their personal health goals.
