In today's fast paced world, we are constantly on the go. As a result, it is so easy to eat from the many “fast” food restaurants, frozen or boxed foods found at the grocery store and of course the white flower foods such as white bread, pasta or white rice. Of course there are the junk foods such as chips, cookies, cakes, sodas, etc. Unfortunately, these foods are loaded with sugars, carbohydrates, saturated fats and sodium. These foods have little nutritional value. Over time, a diet of this type can lead to obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease. It is up to you to make a conscious effort to change your eating habits. That is the first step. The second step is to consult with the doctors at Priority Medical & Rehab Centers who can teach you about foods to eat and foods to avoid. We believe that everything should be in moderation. It is ok to have a piece of cake once in a while or a slice of pizza. We will show you what to eat and when.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutrition counseling can help with many different goals, from weight loss, to understanding portion sizes, to eating disorders and emotional eating. It can help clients to master one of the most important prerequisites for good health: a balanced diet. Whether patients hope to lose weight, compete in a triathlon or manage a chronic illness, their eating habits can mean the difference between failure and success.Dr. Ashkinazy has been an avid cyclist who has been both road biking and mountain biking for many years. As an athlete, he understands what it means to put quality fuel (food) in the body, as the body is a finely tuned machine.There is a saying, "Garbage in, garbage out". Proper diet and nutrition affects how you feel.
Supplementation
Dr. Ashkinazy strongly believes in supplementation. It is often times difficult to eat perfectly and as a result supplements are beneficial. Priority Medical & Rehab Centers offers a quality line of supplements.
