If the term "healthy eating" or "diet" make you cringe, you're not alone. Good nutrition should not mean depriving yourself of the small pleasures in life. it simply means using proper moderation. Your diet should be primarily fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. So if you're consistent during the week, go ahead and splurge a little on the weekend. Dr. Carla is trained in nutrition and how diet affects your health and well-being. She is currently working on her diplomate in nutrition and has even helped write a book (along with her stepmother, Dr. Nancy Irven; "Please Don't Eat the Wallpaper") on the subject.

Nutrition comprises more than simply eating three meals a day. The chiropractic profession views nutrition as the materials needed to maintain your health, and includes the vitamins, mineral, and tissue building quality of what you eat. Some foods should be avoided, while others consumed more frequently. A consultation can be set up with Dr. Carla directly for your specific nutrient requirements, but there is a general list to consider.

 

You should avoid:
 
    •    Smoking and Alcohol
    •    White refined sugar and candy
    •    “Junk Food” and empty calories
    •    Salt and foods with high salt content

    •   AVOID HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!


You should increase your intake of:

    •    Water
    •    Fruits and Vegetables
    •    Lean cut meats
    •    Fish and Poultry
