It’s True: You ARE what you eat!
Good nutrition is the cornerstone of health. Research tells us that our skin cells regenerate every 7 years and every single cell in our skeleton is replaced every 7 years as well. So, what’s in your cells? And what do they look like?
Nutrition
With so much literature out there and so many websites to navigate, where does one start to develop a good nutrition system? Like anything else, the basics of nutrition apply to everyone; however, customizing a nutrition plan maximizes a person’s health, wellbeing, physical and mental performance.
The nutrition basics that we teach at Major Chiropractic and Sports, Ltd. are the following:
Drink:
- Clean water
Consume:
- Lean protein
- Fruits and vegetables
- Complex carbohydrates
- The “good oils”
- Fiber
Say “No” to:
- Processed foods
Minimal amounts:
- White flour
- Sugar
We make it our business to coach you on to a healthier you so as your cells turn over, the new ones that you make will carry you over the finish line in life. Whether you are an athlete or business executive, a Mom or teenager, a fine-tuned nutritional plan will give you premium fuel for life.
Weight Loss
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index of 30 or more. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death. Obesity is higher among middle age adults, 40-59 years old (39.5%) than among younger adults, age 20-39 (30.3%) or adults over 60 or above (35.4%) adults.
Whether you are obese, overweight, or just want to lose a few pounds, changing the way you approach weight loss can help you be more successful at weight management. Most people focus on just the goal of weight loss. However, setting the right goals and focusing on lifestyle changes such as following a healthy eating plan, watching portion sizes, being physically active, and reducing sedentary time are much more effective.
At Major Chiropractic and Sports Science, Ltd. we are prepared to work with you in creating customized nutrition and weight loss goals. We understand the health journey with its obstacles, twists and turns and can coach you along the way. You can and will achieve better health with one of our trainers!
