Every day in my office I see patients with all kinds of pain issues,  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Migraine Headaches just to name a few. These conditions frequently respond well to chiropractic, nutritional supplementation, energy healing, herbal therapy care. One of the most overlooked and underrated components to pain is the types of food we put into our mouth.

If pain is still an issue

If pain is still an issue even if one has gone through courses of chiropractic, supplementation, energy healing, and acupuncture. It is time to address foods that cause systemic inflammation in the body. Certain types of food have been linked to an increase in inflammation in the body. One of the mechanisms of inflammation is linked to an imbalance in the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 essential fatty acids. Essential Fatty Acids are building blocks to compounds in the body such as prostaglandins and eicosinoids. Their role is to modulate the inflammatory process in the body. It is well known that all disease processes have a common factor, inflammation. Foods high in omega 3′s such as fish oil, flax seeds, hemp seeds, have been shown to cause a decrease in the inflammatory process in the body. Conversely, many foods that we eat on daily basis cause more inflammation leading to chronic pain because of an increase in omega 6 fatty acids. The major culprit is grains. There I have said it! Can’t you just hear the old line dietitians and nutritionists screaming? The fact is, grains in the form of wheat, rye, oats, barley and corn contain higher levels of omega 6 fatty acids. Hence, more pain and inflammation. This includes the breads, pastas, cereals, crackers, pastries; everything that most Americans eat on a daily basis.

I frequently have all my chronic pain sufferers eliminate grains from their diet. Yes, most of them are kicking and screaming along the way. But, if they stick to the program, their pain decreases immensely or disappears all together.

Most people are so accustomed to their grains

due to their upbringing and cultural indoctrinations, they never stop to think that the foods they have been putting into their bodies could be causing most if not all their health problems.

So, if you are suffering from chronic pain, for three weeks, eliminate wheat, rye, oats, barley and corn. See how you feel.

It could just change your life for the better.

Reduce Their Risk of Relapse

We can clearly see that individuals who discharge from our treatment program and continue to participate in aftercare are most likely to reduce their risk of relapse in the early part of recovery. There are many reasons for this.

Developing and Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle

The continuation of the bonding process which formed during the treatment experience provides a strong feeling of well being and support which gives the individual an ongoing sense of belonging with and to a group of people who are committed to developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Any recovering addict or alcoholic will tell you that in recovery “you are not alone” and the truth of that statement becomes one of the most important aspects of the entire recovery process.

 Aftercare Programs 

By nature , addicts and alcoholics are isolators and the more they are willing to stretch themselves to participate in theraputic groups with other recovering people the more likley they will be to remain sober. Of course we would expect that these same people would be attending and participating in 12 step recovery groups such as AA and NA however, the aftercare programs provided by the treatment center offers such individuals a very safe environment in which to talk about personal issues which they may not feel comfortable discussing in 12 step meetings.

All in all, there is no question but that an individuals continued willingness to “go to any length” to stay sober will serve them well in recovery especially in early recovery when new recovery skills are being learned.  

Click Contact or call 877-799-8773 if  you or someone you know needs  drug and alcohol detoxification, addiction treatment, drug and alcohol interventions, inpatient treatment, drug and alcohol recovery, cocaine addiction, heroin addiction, crystal meth addiction, opiate detox, alcohol detox, drug detox, or long term care.

What’s good for breakfast?

Do you know what really works with your body?

Sometimes people just eat and drink what other people generally do because they want to fit in with them. But is that really the right thing to do for your body?

You want to find the breakfast that will give your body the most efficiency throughout the morning. You don’t want to crash mid-morning.

Let’s try a breakfast experiment. Each day this week, try a new breakfast. One morning have a carb breakfast, next morning try eggs, the next morning try oatmeal, and the next morning try coffee and a muffin. After each breakfast, stay attuned to your body and how it feels.

Everyone’s body functions differently:

We all have our own unique chemistry. For one person, eating a bagel and cream cheese is a great breakfast, whereas another person may find that cereal is best. Another person may find that eating some sort of meat energizes them too.

So, what works for you?

For me, my body’s favorite breakfast is granola cereal with almond milk. It holds me all morning and it gives me a constant energy without crashing.

The breakfast may change periodically because we are ever-changing beings. Three months later, there may be something else that may work better.

It’s important to always stay attuned to your body. Keep in touch with your feelings and your energy.

Hmmm…What’s for breakfast???
