One of the most frequently asked questions I hear from clients, family and friends is, “What should I eat?”, whether it is for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks.  We are surrounded by so many food choices, yet so many of us are confused about what to eat whether it is to be healthier, lose weight or feel better.

 

This question came up the other day when I received a phone call from my 21-year-old son.  He is a college student living on his own with a busy school and work schedule. He called me to say that lately, he has been feeling very hungry, tired and irritable between meals so he asked me what he should be eating to avoid this.  

 

The first question I ask anyone who is having this same issue is, “How much water are you drinking?”  Since thirst is very often mistaken for hunger, this is the first question you need to ask yourself when you are feeling hungry.  Try drinking more water, see if you feel better and, if not, then have a snack. The next question I ask is, “What current food choices are you making when you are feeling hungry and irritable?”  The snack you decide to have makes a big impact on how you will feel until you eat again. My son was grabbing Cliff bars on the go or an apple but this was not helping him feel better for very long.  The reason these snacks will not satiate you for long is that Cliff bars have a high amount of sugar and other high glycemic ingredients, and an apple, while it is a fruit and has other nutrients, is still packing a higher glycemic punch when eaten alone on an empty stomach. You will have an initial feeling of satiation from the spike in your blood sugar from the refined sugar and carbs but when your blood sugar drops too low within half an hour of eating a high glycemic food, you will again crave something to eat to provide more energy and usually what you choose will be a high glycemic food because it provides a quick burst of energy.  So you are on this roller coaster ride of energy highs and lows from spikes and drops of your insulin.

 

Snacking on higher protein foods with a healthful fat will slow down the absorption of food and provide a longer burning source of energy.  Think of fat as a log on the fire and carbohydrates as kindling. You will avoid blood sugar spikes and drops which take a toll on your endocrine system and exhaust your pancreas, liver and adrenal glands which all have a role in blood sugar regulation.

 

I gave my son examples of higher protein snacks with some good fats.  For example, raw nuts, almond butter with the apple or on a slice of sprouted bread, organic beef/chicken/turkey jerky or a roasted chicken leg.  

 

Of course, these snacks need to be packed with you for the day and this is where prep comes in.  I wish I had a quick fix answer but the only way you can eat healthfully is by planning ahead. Grabbing foods on the run does not usually equal a nutrient dense choice of food.

 

Some more examples of food that can be made or purchased for your weekly meals are:

 

Whole organic rotisserie chicken - organic costs more (about $10)  but you are going to save money and eat more healthfully because you will get a few meals out of one chicken.  Chicken salad (with mayo such as Primal Kitchen, Sir Kensingtons), a green salad with apples, walnuts, chicken and homemade dressing (or Primal Kitchen dressings made with Avocado Oil - there are many great flavors!)

 

Sweet Potatoes - every Sunday I bake 10 sweet potato halves for the week.  Just slice them lengthwise rub with some avocado oil, place face down on a parchment lined pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of potatoes.  That’s it! Super easy and quick and you have sweet potatoes for the week.

 

Roasted Spaghetti Squash - this is another very versatile vegetable which can be eaten alone or with turkey chili on top for example. A decent size spaghetti squash can make enough for 3-4 days.  Just split it lengthwise, scoop out seeds, brush some avocado oi

A decent size spaghetti squash can make enough for 3-4 days.  Just split it lengthwise, scoop out seeds, brush some avocado oil and unrefined sea salt and roast face down in a 400-degree oven for about 40-60 minutes depending on the size. When done and cooled, scrape out the “spaghetti”.

 

Roasted Vegetables - This can be a combination of your favorite vegetables.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place assortment of vegetables with olive oil, unrefined sea salt and your favorite dried herbs on a roasting pan for about 20-30 minutes. (my favorites are cauliflower, asparagus, brussell sprouts, broccoli).  Just make sure the vegetables are relatively similar in size so they cook evenly. Again, very easy and you have vegetables for the week.

 

Homemade Trail Mix - store-bought trail mixes are filled with candy, refined, inflammatory vegetable oils such as canola, soybean, and cottonseed oils and usually a large number of dried fruits which are high in sugar naturally.  A better choice would be making your own trail mix with an assortment of raw nuts, freeze-dried low glycemic blueberries or strawberries (can be found at Trader Joe’s), unsweetened toasted coconut and unsweetened cacao nibs. Yes, this will taste very different but when you adjust your palate to less sweetened foods you will start to appreciate the taste of the natural sweetness in foods.

 

My son reported back to me less than a week after eating my suggested food choices and he said he was feeling much better.  If your energy level is not optimal during your workday, try prepping some of your meals and snacks with my suggestions and see what a difference it can make in your energy levels.

 

If you would like additional information and guidance, please contact Functionised to set up an appointment with me.  I will be back next week with another podcast, have a great day everyone!

It is a fully integrative health practice with services ranging from chiropractic, wellness coaching, functional nutrition, body fat loss, sports performance, baseline concussion testing, concussion treatment, balance testing and treatment, laser therapy, soft tissue treatment, massage therapy and home of the ARX Fit (Give us 15 minutes and we will give you a lifetime of health).

As a Chiropractor here in Colts Neck NJ, I see a wide variety of conditions, syndromes, and secondary disorders that may affect any part of one’s body. One of the most common things I see is various forms of peripherial neuropathies. This is when there is damage of some degree to one or more nerves which may cause a mix of numbness and tingling, sharp or burning pain,  specific muscle weakness with the feeling of a joint “giving out”, or lack of sensation as if a limb such as a foot “fell asleep”.; this frequently goes by more common names such as a pinched nerve or nerve entrapment. There are also many that are known for specific nerves and locations such as:

Sciatica – Sciatic Nerve in the back of the leg

Piriformis Syndrome- Sciatic nerve trapped by the piriformis muscle

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome- Multiple nerves in the neck and shoulder

Carpal Tunnel – Median nerve in the wrist

Ulnar Nerve palsy – Ulnar nerve in the elbow, neck, or shoulder

 

The exact type of pain or sensation is dependant on what part of the nerve, and to what degree its being damaged. These symptoms may arise from many different causes which all may have a different method of treatment, including but not limited to:

Diabetes

Alcoholism

Direct Trauma

Various nutrient deficiencies

Herniated discs

Muscular or boney impingments

Medications

Heavy Metal posioning

Various neurological disorders

 

Here, we are going to focus on a few of the more common causes that Chiropractors see, starting with diabetic neuropathies.

 

Diabetic Neurpathies as the name suggests, comes with diabetes, typically in the mid to later stage, but may appear quite gradually. It typically presents with a “glove and stocking” pattern, meaning it affects mainly the hands and feet. This is thought to be because chronic high blood sugar levels begin to deterioate and damage the small blood vessles, and with damaged arteries and veins, nutrients aren’t able to reach the nerves well and they too start to become damaged. Other than an annoyance of having tingling or painful extremities, it can become more disastrous when dealing with numbness in the feet. If one cant feel their foot well, its hard to tell where in space that foot is and can cause unsteadiness, balance issues, increased risk of falls, and even lead to more serious conditions such as gangrene; lack of blood flow which causes an infection.

 

The best way to treat and prevent this issue is by controlling one’s diabetes and blood sugar levels. However, depending on the severity and diabetic stage, full removal of symptoms may not be attainable.

 

Something important to note, along with the next topic of herniated discs,  just because one has diabetes or MRI imaging shows a bulging disc, it doesn’t mean for sure that that is the cause of the neurapathy. Unfortunately, all of us are able to have more than 1 issue at a time, and routinely do, so diagnosing the specific cause to each symptom is a very important task.

 

Sciatica is potentially the most commonly known type of mononeuropathy (damage to one nerve), and is usually assumed to be  from a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. However, studies have shown that a great deal of them are asymptomatic, meaning that they don’t cause any symptoms what-so-ever! In fact, a recent MRI study showed that 37% of 20 year olds and a whopping 96% of those over 75yrs have bulging discs that cause no pain or numbness! However, nerve impingment is very common in all populations, and they are frequently caused by muscles being taught and having a myofacial trigger point , or a “knot”, that is pressing on the nerve causing pain or odd sensations.

 

More often than not, when one presents with sciatica, if it is not coming directly from the spine, the nerve is typically trapped by the piriformis or gluteas musculature. Stretching, depending on how its done may make the issue worse. If the nerve is already taught from being pressed, stretching it farther may just damage the nerve more. IASTM

Stretching, depending on how its done may make the issue worse. If the nerve is already taught from being pressed, stretching it farther may just damage the nerve more. IASTM (instrament assisted soft tissue mobilization)is a common procedure done at Functionised where a small beveled tool is used to clear out the adhesions that are keeping the muscle knotted.

 

TOS or thoracic outlet syndrome is another common neuropathy, but instead of the back of the leg, either a  muscle or upper rib in the neck or under arm in the culprit. This can cause the pain or tingling sensation to go down any aspect of the arm and even into the hands and parts of the fingers, all depending on how many and which nerves are being involved.

Alcohol intake and nutrient deficenices are also quite common. Not only is alcohol a neuro toxin, meaning it can directly damage nerves, it also slows and can even stop the absorption of many vitamins and minerals that are required for nerve health such as magnesium, folate, B12, B6, and niacin. If one has a poor diet, eats a lot of processed foods, and limits fresh produce and properly cooked meats,  even if not a routine drinker, if a few cocktails are drank the night before, acute neuropathies may ensue.

 

So if you wake up with sharp shooting pain, or a pins and needles type sensation, go to your trusted medical professional, and if in the Colts Neck NJ area, make an appointment here at functionised and you’ll be examined for your exact cause of your troubles to get you on your way to a better and healthier you.

There are five basic flavors that we perceive in food and herbs, bitter, sour, sweet and pungent. Each flavor produces particular actions and has a relationship with one or several body systems. With the consumption of sugar and processed foods, we have lost our appreciation of these flavors. Hunter-gatherers experienced these flavors on a regular basis. Each season would offer different tastes depending on what was available and what region the hunter-gatherer lived in. We have food so readily available to us but it is mostly sweet and salty flavors that we experience on a daily basis. This Functionised Podcast goes in depth on how this effects human performance.
