Better Nutrition

One of the crucial components to the healing process is to make sure your body has access to the high quality resources it needs. What you eat is important.

Cooking at home
Simple Suggestions

A thorough exploration of proper nutrition is not possible here. However, these simple guidelines will get you started:

  • Eat Raw – Reduce or eliminate your consumption of processed foods.
  • More Vegetables – You need the enzymes in fruits and vegetables.
  • Supplementation – You may be missing key vitamins and minerals.
  • Less Cooking – Overcooking can destroy essential nutrients.
  • Eliminate Sugar – Sugar in all its many forms stresses the body.
  • Eat at Home – There’s nothing as good as a home-cooked meal.

Perimeter Shop

Most of the foods found in the aisles of your grocery store are processed to increase shelf life. In general, the more likely a food is to spoil, the more vital nutrients it contains. Do most of your shopping around the exterior walls of your grocery store, where you're most likely to find the refrigeration units.

Dr. Anthony Asks some important questions of interest to Whitby residents - Chiropractor Whitby Dr. Anthony Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
