The Problem with Most Diets

Do you or have you ever struggled with your weight? Have you tried trendy diets that promise a quick fix and ended up disappointed and hungry? We at Coast Chiropractic Injury and Wellness Center, serving Fort Lauderdale, FL, understand that the problem with most diets is they just don't work, especially long term. The bottom line is diets are difficult to continue, may give bad nutrition, and don't last forever. Diets can also lead to negative feelings like deprivation, guilt, and failure.

Instead of going on a diet, let us help you change your lifestyle and concentrate on eating healthier options. We encourage you to find the right foods and beverages that make you look great and feel great.

Chiropractic Care and Nutrition

Why would a chiropractor care about your weight or your nutrition? We take a holistic approach to your health which includes nutrition and your weight. Here are some ways that your weight, general health, and musculoskeletal system interact:

• Spinal Health: Excess weight, especially around your middle, adds strain on your spine. This can lead to alignment problems.
• Joint Stress: Extra weight puts stress on joints, especially your ankles, knees, spine, and hips.
• Posture: Your weight can poorly affect your posture, balance, and the way you walk.
• Sedentary Lifestyle: The more you weigh, the harder it is to exercise, stretch your muscles, and move around.
• Chronic Diseases: The more you weigh, the higher your risk of heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension.
