The connection between physical therapy and diet is one which has been under discussion for quite some time now. As you would normally be able to see, different parties seem to have differing views about it.

In addition, thanks to the increased amount of exposure to the media, restaurants, fast food chains, and advertisements – it has become very difficult for people to remain on the right path. No matter how much they try to keep their weight under control, they would find themselves falling in to bad habits of stress eating and overeating.

It would be for this reason that physical therapy would have an important part to play in helping you to lose weight. Other than that, it could also help in your overall well-being.

Helps to decrease pains in your body

The most disappointing thing is that we seem to under-estimate our bodies a great deal. Even though a minor inconvenience or illness seems to bog us down, our bodies would be capable of undergoing much more than that. It would be for this reason that you should always challenge your body and test your limits in order to keep it healthy and active. This is because when you would leave your body to do its own thing, it would fall in to despair. As such, you would end up making bad and unhealthy choices.

In terms of gaining weight, there would be some issues that would commonly be faced by people (and Fysioterapi):

• Decreased flexibility and movement
• Endurance being reduced to perform daily chores and activities
• Experiencing shortness in breath
• Knee,
  ankle, joint, and hip pain
• Foot pain.
  

In your weight loss journey, the main challenge that you would have to overcome would be changing your lifestyle and eating habits. This would mean including more foods in your diet that would be better for your overall health and well being. This would also include visiting those aisles in the supermarket which you would have thought to never visit before. Some things which you should be on the lookout for would include seafood, fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meat, and dairy options. Again all of this would depend on your dietary requirements and the health goals that you have set for yourself. At any point in time you change your goals, make sure that you consult your doctor so that you could be pointed to the right direction.

Another segment in your weight loss journey would include exercise. It would be important that you constantly keep yourself on the move. With the help of physical therapists, an individual and customized exercise plan could be created for you. In addition, they could also demonstrate you the proper form. This would allow you to reap the maximum gains from your efforts. In addition, it would also help to prevent the risk of sustaining injury.

Even though a lot of people seem to be under the misconception that physical therapy would only be suitable for post-surgery or post-injury patients, that would not be true. Physical therapy is a science that would be suitable for people of all ages and sizes. No matter what your goals might be, physical therapy could help you to lead a life completely free of pain.

Undoubtedly, more than one will have started the year with the priority of having good health, recovering and eliminating the toxins received by the body in 2015. However, many ask themselves: how is the indicated way to do it?

Following good recommendations could help prevent cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure problems, lousy mood, headaches and even Alzheimer’s. In that sense, Julian David Toro, EMI Group doctor, advises to maintain a healthy diet, rest adequately and protect the body from the sun that plagues the country these days.

Also, the Ayurvedic physician Maria Amelia Bueno advises meditation as a practice to teach the mind to release stress, another cause of significant diseases.

In this way, specialists provide ideal recommendations to put into practice and fulfill that purpose of 2016: to have good health.

1. Healthy Diet

Carrying a diverse menu, rich in fruits and vegetables is the main thing to start 2016 with good health. In addition to this, the EMI Group doctor, Julian David Toro, recommends reducing the intake of fat and salt, since the latter element “increases the chances of having hypertension,” he says. For this reason, the ideal is not to have salt on the table. Toro advises only using a pinch to flavor the food, but not adding more.

Another aspect to consider is sugar because although it is necessary to supply energy to the body, it should not be consumed in excess.

Without a doubt and especially in a climate like Cali, it is essential to have proper hydration. “The most advisable thing is to drink between one and two liters of liquids in the day, taking into account that every time we consume fruit or juice they also add up as liquids,” says Toro.

2. Less Harmful Substances

In itself, alcohol and caffeine are dangerous when consumed in excess. For this reason, the specialist Julian David Toro recommends reducing the consumption of these substances if you want to be in good health this New Year. 

“For a healthy man it is advised to drink between one and two drinks a day, talking about the size of glass and specifically wine because it has antioxidants, while for women it is one a day,” says Toro.

As for caffeine, it can cause blood pressure and cardiovascular problems when you have a specific concentrate (the one that is present in energy drinks).

3. Sun Protection

In this time when the sun is stronger due to climate change, it is essential to have excellent sun protection, both in children and adults.

The doctor advises using glasses, cap or hat, long sleeve trousers and clothes of a thick cloth that covers the skin well.

4. Increase Physical Activity

This point is a complement to the previous one. However, Gilberto Castillo, internist and cardiologist at the Imbalance Medical Center explains that exercising is different from increasing physical activity.

“If the person has the time to do aerobic exercise such as swimming, jogging, walking, cycling, playing tennis, it’s good, but if not, the advice is that if you have to go up the elevator, better go down the stairs, useless the car, get off the bus one stop before your destination, to walk a little more, “advises the specialist.

5. Good Rest

To avoid headaches, bad mood and poor performance during the day, specialists recommend a sound sleep.

To achieve this, it is important to sleep for at least six hours, since with a good night’s sleep, the body cleans up everything it received during the day.

However, it should be noted that before sleeping you should not use electronic devices in the room, you should eat two or three hours before bedtime and avoid bringing problems to the office.
