Easy Diet Plans Start With Nutritious Food

by Dr. Scott Duca

Many of us understand that eating well is the first step toward living well -- but did you know that it can even help your spinal and joint health? Here at Back On Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we take a "whole body" approach to helping our patients achieve their best selves. Whether you need a safe, effective weight loss program or professional advice on how to give your body more of what it needs (and less of what it does not need), our programs can get you started down a healthier path.

When considering any weight loss program, keep in mind that what you eat is at least as important as how much. These days it is hard to escape store shelves filled with highly processed foods, which typically contain excessive amounts of fat, salt, sugar, preservatives, coloring agents and other unnatural dietary additives. These products make you feel full, at least briefly, but they cannot give your body the right mix of essential nutrients. The emphasis on starches and sugars causes you to gain extra pounds.

Obesity affects all aspects of your health, including your skeleton. In addition to making you more prone to cancer, diabetes, hypertension and organ failure, excess weight strains your spinal column and weight-bearing joints. Our Birmingham chiropractic center will sometimes recommend weight loss as part of an integrated wellness or pain management strategy.
