Nutrition: Eating a Plant-Based Diet

You've probably heard more and more about plant-based diets in the past couple of years. They're becoming increasingly popular as people discover that they often feel better after switching to this diet. At our chiropractic practice in Midtown NYC in the Rockefeller Center area of Manhattan, we care about your nutrition.

Processed foods tend to be high in fat and can contribute to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc. Whether you're in the east or west areas of the city, especially in the 10036 area, we can help you to relieve pain and eat a better diet. When you need a chiropractor in NYC, give our office a call for an appointment.

Why Plant-Based? 

Animal protein tends to be higher in fat and cholesterol. It generally has unhealthy fats prone to clogging arteries and causing serious health concerns. Many people are turning to a plant-based diet for their health. You may wonder how they get their protein, but many produce items have protein in them.

Eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and beans is a great way to eat natural foods that can give you plenty of energy without the unhealthy parts of animal protein. Many people also choose a plant-based diet for the environment. Raising livestock for food is tough on the environment, and cutting it out of the equation can be an Earth-friendly change.

Many who go on these diets find that their food is more easily digested, and they have extra energy and sleep better. Cutting out a lot of meat and dairy products can also help to reduce your stress, relieve pain, and help balance your mood.

Nutrient-Rich

Eating a plant-based diet often gives you more nutrition than a diet based on meat and dairy. Overly processed foods often have very little nutrition in them. However, things like produce, whole grains, and nuts have an amazing array of nutrients and micronutrients. People looking to lose weight or maintain weight often turn to plant-based nutrition to take in fewer calories while getting the nutrition they need for optimal health.
