At Orlando Chiropractic Neurology Center we take our time to listen to you and your individual. We take your presenting complaints, and your lifestyle to encourage lasting changes. These changes are so important. They are essential in enhancing the metabolic changes needed to maintain and assist in our hands on treatments in the office, and those prescribed at home.
There are many dietary and lifestyle modifications that can improve overall health and well-being. Here are a few examples:
​
-
Eat a healthy, balanced diet: This means eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It's also important to limit the intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
-
Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, and maintain a healthy weight. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity.
-
Get enough sleep: Adults should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Poor sleep can affect mood, cognitive function, and overall health.
-
Reduce stress: Chronic stress can have negative effects on physical and mental health. Try to find ways to manage stress, such as through relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
-
Quit smoking: Smoking is a major cause of preventable diseases and premature death. If you smoke, it's important to quit as soon as possible to improve your overall health.
-
Limit alcohol consumption: While moderate alcohol consumption may have some potential health benefits, excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of several serious health problems. It's important to drink alcohol in moderation, if at all.
-
Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for overall health and well-being. Aim to drink at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day, more if you are physically active or in a hot environment.
