Nutrition is key in improving quality of life and reducing pain and inflammation in the body. Along with manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, nutrition is another main focus of a naprapathic treatment plan. There are several diets out on the market that people try to manage their weight or blood sugar, however, many of them do not take into consideration that each individual is different and there is not a one-size-fits-all nutrition plan that will work for everyone.
