TRY THE NORDIC DIET! Need a Nutritional Boost?
Every other month, new dieting fads seem to be taking the world by storm. Some popular diets aren’t beneficial, while others have incredible health benefits, so how do people know what’s worth trying? Luckily, there’s one recent diet out there that may be a little bit more credible than the rest: the Nordic diet. Nutritionists, scientists, and chefs decided to create this diet in 2004 to help slow obesity rates and unsustainable farming practices in Nordic countries, but it might help residents of the U.S., too! The Nordic diet emphasizes consuming food high in protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Fruits, vegetables, and seafood are common on Nordic diet menus, but what separates the Nordic diet from the others is that it uses canola oil, which has less saturated fat than olive oil and other processed options. You’re supposed to eat a decreased amount of sugar and twice the amount of fiber and seafood than a typical diet. Some phenomenal physical health benefits come with switching over to the Nordic diet. It helps reduce inflammation throughout the
body and can even reduce your risk of getting Type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Many people who tried the diet noticed decreased cholesterol and lower blood pressure while they followed these guidelines, even saying they lost weight or had an easier time staying in shape. You may have seen the Nordic diet on the news after Noma, a three-Michelin-star restaurant known for its Nordic menu, recently closed in Copenhagen. Food critics and patrons rated this restaurant as one of the best in the world, but the owner found the grueling hours and intense workplace culture unsustainable. So, still wanting to work in the food industry, he converted Noma into a food laboratory. You can change and improve your diet anytime, but experts are recommending the Nordic diet for its many health benefits. Make sure you pick up whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, and other items next time you go to the grocery store. You’ll be amazed how what you eat can improve how you feel.
SUCCESS STORIES! “I had some issues with my right shoulder. It was hard for me to move it in certain directions and lift it. I was concerned it could be something serious that may require surgery, but when I consulted with Dr. Adams at Horizon Physical Therapy, he assured me they’d be able to get my shoulder strength back without surgery, and that’s exactly what they did. Ashley worked with me the entire time, and I enjoyed being there and talking with the friendly staff and patients. I almost wish I could keep coming as if it was a gym membership, but I would definitely recommend anyone in need of physical therapy to pay Horizon a visit.”
“After searching several physical therapy clinics, I chose this one because of the friendliness, the cleanliness, and the niceness of the staff. Even though I was here for therapy, it was enjoyable because it didn’t make me feel like I was another number or a piece of furniture. We had fun and the patients, and I developed good rapport with each other, and we look forward to coming to our sessions. I would recommend it to everybody.” –Dyonne M. –Ian A.
