Diet and Nutrition

Does the word “diet” immediately make you think of an unpleasant weight-loss regimen? If it did, you are probably not alone. For example, consider the use of the term “diet” in marketing food products—it usually describes foods low in calories.

But there is another meaning of this word. Diet can also refer to the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. Nutrition involves more than simply eating a “good” diet—it is about nourishment on every level. It involves relationships with family, friends, nature (the environment), our bodies, our community, and the world.

Diabetes Diet

A diabetes diet simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes.

A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that’s naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. In fact, a diabetes diet is the best eating plan for most everyone.

Becoming more active and making changes in what you eat and drink can seem challenging at first. At Impact Clinic, our Dietitian will help you on what you choose to eat, how much you eat, and when you eat are all important in keeping your blood glucose level in the range that your health care team recommends.

Thyroid Diet

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the throat. Having thyroid, means that this gland produces less of its hormones than the body needs. This can slow down the body’s metabolism and cause weight gain and fatigue, among other symptoms.

The diet can have a significant impact on the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Some foods may improve certain symptoms, while others may make them worse or interfere with treatment. At Impact Clinic, learn about how the diet can affect thyroid symptoms. We also suggest specific foods to eat and avoid.

Pre-Pregnancy Diet

Post Pregnancy Diet

Motherhood is a beautiful journey but it brings along its own set of challenges, especially for a new mother. As a new mother is coping with a lot of physical and emotional changes while taking care of your Newburn, you need adequate rest and a healthy diet to recover.

Losing those pregnancy pounds might be at the front of your mind. But there’s something that’s even more important for your body after your baby arrives: eating foods that give you the energy to be the best mom you can be.

Routinely eating healthy foods throughout the day will maximize the little energy you probably have as a new mom. If you’re nursing, the quality of your breast milk stays pretty much the same no matter what you choose to eat. But there’s a catch: When you aren’t getting the needed nutrients from your diet, your body will provide them from your own stores. So, make sure you get all the nutrients you and your baby need. It will benefit both of you. To know more about post pregnancy nutrition plan, talk to us today.
