Nutrition is an essential part of wellness. Consuming food that contains the right vitamins, minerals, and nutrients – in the proper amounts – helps all systems of your body function as they should. Eating the right foods is not always easy, especially if you have a busy lifestyle, so nutritional supplements may be an important component of a balanced diet. Knowing which foods to eat or which supplements to take can also be difficult. Fortunately, our health professionals provide nutritional counseling in Killeen, TX, and we are glad to share a few of our favorite nutrition tips.
Our chiropractor in Killen provides nutritional therapy to help patients maintain a healthy weight and optimize their health.
Foods from the five food groups: fruit, vegetable, grains, protein, and dairy make a unique contribution to a healthy diet, so include choices from each group every day.
For best results, eat every color of the rainbow each day. Plants contain phytochemicals, which give fruits and vegetables their color. Phytochemicals promote plant health and protect plants from disease – phytochemicals also have health benefits for people who eat fruits and vegetables. Red foods contain beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin C, lycopene and other antioxidants. Orange foods contain antioxidants that turn into vitamin A in your body. Green plant foods, such as green beans, contain vitamins A, C and K, iron, antioxidants, and other nutrients including lutein and folate.
Limit your intake of cake, cookies, crackers and other highly processed foods, as they provide very little nutritional value and are relatively high in calories.
Choose whole grain foods, such as oatmeal, whole grain bread, and cereals, brown rice, cornmeal, and bulgar.
Enjoy life – you do not have to give up your favorite foods to eat a nutritious diet, you just need to pay attention to the quantity and frequency at which you indulge.
Use your hand to determine serving sizes. A 3-oz serving of meat is about the size of your palm; eat two servings of lean meat each day. One teaspoon is equal to the end of your thumb, from the knuckle up – use this measurement to apportion peanut butter, mayonnaise, and other high-fat foods.
Use nutritional supplements as suggested by our chiropractor in Killeen TX. We understand that you and your family try to eat well, but your busy lifestyle can interrupt your healthy eating plan. Nutritional supplements can help you fill in the nutritional gaps.
