Most people know that the benefits of eating a healthy, holistic diet include more energy, less stress (emotionally and chemically) and even an improved mood.
But did you know your muscles can actually feel better when you eat well? Or, how about your nerves?
Below are a few ways improving your diet can benefit your body!
1. Eating better can help you lose weight, therefore making it easier for your body to hold a chiropractic adjustment. When your body is free of unnecessary excess weight, your joints and muscles move freely and easier. There also won’t be excess weight pulling your spine out of alignment.
2. Inflammation can be calmed. When you eat a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, pain and inflammation in the body can subside. If you currently eat a diet high in sugars, carbohydrates and salt, it’s possible that you’re dealing with a lot of internal inflammation. Try swapping those foods with leafy greens and whole foods to fight inflammation.
3. Your nerves will function better. Did you know that when you aren’t eating a healthy, balanced diet, your nerves cannot communicate with organs correctly and without interference? Improper nutrition can harm your body’s ability to repair organs, muscle density and even cells.
