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. Truhlar Asks some important questions of interest to Aurora residents - Chiropractor Aurora Dr. Truhlar 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.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
