Chiropractors, unlike many other health professionals, focus on their patients in a holistic manner. Every body system depends on the rest of your body to function well. That is why our chiropractor at Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine will encourage you to choose foods that will help your body function at its best.

What Is a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet?

When you are following a whole food diet, you don't have to cut out specific foods. However, you prioritize healthy foods and minimize the consumption of foods that are not as beneficial for you. You can still include some meats and processed foods, but the focus should be on consuming plant-based whole foods.

Some of the key ingredients in a whole food plant-based diet include:

• Vegetables
• Fruits
• Whole grains
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Legumes

Rather than forcing yourself to eliminate foods you enjoy, this diet encourages you to change your eating habits gradually so that you become accustomed to choosing foods that are best for you. This flexibility will make it easier to stick to your healthy eating habits.

Benefits of a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet

An alarming number of Americans are overweight. A whole food diet can assist in weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight. Whole foods are also heart-healthy, meaning that adopting a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Plant-based diets are associated with a lower risk of certain types of cancer and a reduced risk of early cognitive decline.
