The Role of Good Nutrition in Recovery
Good Nutrition and successful recovery from alcohol and drug abuse are directly linked to good Nutrition. People who frequently consume large amounts of alcohol, and certain drugs, almost always have nutritional and vitamin deficiencies that should be addressed immediately after entering a treatment program.
Vitamins and supplements are often necessary for compensating for deficiencies due to drug addiction and alcoholism. In truth, the proper foods are always the best way to get these nutrients.
Vitamin A – Regulates the immune system and is found in sweet potatoes, carrots, and dark leafy greens.
Vitamin D – Strengthens bones and immunity and can be found naturally in milk, egg yolk, salmon, and fortified orange juice.
Vitamin E – Helps prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer and is prevalent in spinach, avocado, tomato sauce, eggs, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
Good Nutrition is a vital component of successful long-term recovery. According to the National Institute of Health, people with substance abuse are more likely to relapse with poor eating habits.
When a person feels good, they are much less likely to start using drugs or alcohol. It makes sense that the better someone feels mentally, emotionally, and physically the less likely they are to suffer from anxiety or depression, which are related to addiction. Good Nutrition will help reduce the cravings to use drugs and alcohol.
Guidelines for Good Nutrition
- Eat three meals per day
- Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables
- Eat a balanced diet of whole grains and protein
- Reduce refined sugar and caffeine intake
- Water and proper hydration are essential for overall health
Good Nutrition can help prevent disease and promote health. The body needs six nutrients to acquire from food: protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibers, vitamins, minerals, and water.
At Inspire Malibu, we realize the importance of Nutrition and relapse prevention. We would rather prevent problems than treat problems, and good Nutrition is a significant factor in staying healthy or becoming healthy. We ensure our clients have properly balanced meals, and we also make sure each individual gains a working knowledge of Nutrition so they can make healthy choices regarding what they eat, now and in the future.
