There are NO loopholes…
Over the course of our 30 Day weight loss challenge we have received many inquires regarding the different types of anti-inflammatory foods that we can eat. My most common response is, “If you are asking me that question, it is probably not part of the diet.” There are no loopholes. We promote a Paleolithic diet in the office because research has demonstrated that an anti-inflammatory diet can help manage not only pain levels but chronic disease as well.
The new year spawns all types of resolutions, many of those start with exercising more. People understand that if you want to feel stronger, run longer, bike faster, you have to work at it and commit to it. Most patient’s understand that the you don’t build a body like Arnold, overnight. It’s the same thing with respects to your diet. There is no easy way to get there, again, there are no loopholes. Changing your diet, really making a lifestyle change that is different from what we were all taught to eat is challenging. It will not happen overnight; and just like reforming your muscles, it takes a lot of work to do so. There is no magic pill for health, no substance that you can take that will instantly make you healthy. It’s a choice. Every small step you make towards improving not only your diet but your health, will pay dividends years down the road.
The “Paleo-diet” promotes fruit, vegetable, fish, lean meat and raw nut intake. If you are on that path, you are in great shape. If you are not yet there, no worries, most chiropractors and some other healthcare professionals are starting to understand this trend, and are implementing in their daily patient care protocols. I encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional about how your diet can effect your overall health. Call your local chiropractor today to take that step to creating a lifestyle change that will last longer than an empty new years resolution.
