Why Nutrition Is So Important for Recovery
When you are amid an active addiction, seemingly every aspect of your life gets put on the back burner. Instead of focusing on eating healthy and balanced meals, you either decide not to eat or choose to eat things that can make you even more unhealthy. As you begin to work on your sobriety, you may notice that your addiction impacted your health more than just psychologically. Sadly, it’s not uncommon for a person who suffered from addiction to realize they also developed physical issues with their hearts, brains, or other parts of their body. When you commit yourself to not only working through a plan for alcohol rehab or drug rehab, you should also commit yourself to healthy eating, as taking this step will allow your body to begin to heal.
