Thought of the day can you be healthy while injured

Can you be healthy while being injured? 

Do you have an injury which will take months to recover from?

Is exercise not an option for the short term?

Yes this scenario is challenging and pain can often take over, however eating well and being healthy is an important part of recovery.

Depending on the injury there may be restrictions in terms of exercise and daily activity, due to this you may need to alter your current diet to accommodate this to ensure that you stay healthy.

For example, someone who exercises every day will have a higher calorie intake compared to someone who doesnt exercise at all.

The foods to avoid when you need to watch your calorie intake include:

• Processed foods
• Sugar and sweets
• High saturated fatty foods
• Fried foods
• White refined breads and cereals 

The foods to increase at this time includes: 

• Fish
• Lean protein such as chicken, tofu, turkey and lean red meat
• fruit and vegetables
• nuts and seeds
• whole grains such as oats  

Never give up on your health goals regardless on the situation, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
