Why Nutrition Is So Important for Recovery
It’s important to remember that a drug or alcohol addiction can impact every aspect of your life. Physically, it will take time for your body to heal from addiction. For example, many people who work through our alcohol addiction treatment program admit they ate less simply because they wanted to feel the alcohol’s impact more. Many others simply forget to eat just because they were taken over by the effects of their drug or drink of choice.
Once you establish your sobriety and find sober-friendly activities in Orlando to enjoy, you should always be conscious of maintaining a healthy eating schedule. Doing so will help your body get back on track. It’s not uncommon for many people who suffered from addiction to suffer from potentially serious medical conditions such as heart disease, liver issues, or blood pressure problems. Focusing on your nutritional well-being can go a long way when it comes to making you feel better as a whole.
