Nutrition and Weight Management
With many patients their pain and injuries are multifactorial, and often times being overweight and inadequate nutrition are adversely affecting their recovery. We work with patients to give them the skills and knowledge to empower them to loss the weight and therefore improving their ability to recover and live a healthy lifestyle. Prevention is the key to living a healthy and happy life and Dr. Shaffer and his colleagues can help you make good and healthy decisions. For those of you making New Year's resolutions or just tired of the extra weight, check out the CalorieKing website. It offers tools to allow you to keep your calorie intake under control. One of the biggest fallacies going today is the irrational concern with carbohydrates. Sure reducing carbohydrates with high glycemic rates will help you loss weight but the rule is and always will be "calories in...calories out". Meaning, your weight will always depend on the amount of calories you taking in on a daily basis versus the amount of calories you burn on a daily basis. Having a grasp on the amount of calories in different foods, as well as what one serving is can really empower you in your weight loss efforts. Click the links below to learn more.
