Health
Feed your brain and body!
What you EAT can help prevent relapse.
Even a few, minor changes to your diet can strengthen your brain and “re-wire” your hunger to diminish cravings. This is due to how most processed foods can be “triggers”– so learn to avoid them!
It’s actually simple: “Good” foods are those that you buy by the pound, “bad” are found among those that are processed and packaged.
Stay stopped by selecting healthier foods.
Healthier eating translates into fewer cravings, easier weight management, a sense of well-being, and overall better health!
Easy nutrition basics
- Never shop for food when hungry
- Never skip a meal
- Always have healthy snacks available and with you (carrots, nuts, cheese, yogurt, etc.)
Food Categories (basic)
Below is a guideline for healthy eating. The “+++” food groups should be staples in your diet. Foods in these groups that can serve as easy snacks to keep your energy up are in green. The other groups should be eaten sparingly.
| Protein | Vegetables | Grains/Nuts | Fruits | Starch | Oils/Fats |
| +++ | +++ | +++ | +++ | ++ | + |
| Beef | Artichoke | Almonds | Apples | Bread | Butter |
| Chicken | Asparagus | Beans | Bananas | Grits/Polenta | Canola Oil |
| Cheese | Broccoli | Lentils | Berries | Pasta | Corn Oil |
| Cottage Cheese | Carrots | Rice | Oranges | Potatoes | Grape Seed Oil |
| Eggs | Cauliflower | Quinoa | Pears | Margarine | |
| Fish | Eggplant | Walnuts | Olive Oil | ||
| Lamb | Tomatoes | Avocado | |||
| Pork | Olives | ||||
| Shellfish | |||||
| Tofu | |||||

Fitness
Exercise changes brain chemistry and helps prevent relapse.
Your brain on exercise
Even a small amount of daily exercise can change and strengthen your brain and “re-wire” it to diminish cravings. This is due to the re-balancing of concentrations of pleasurable neurotransmitters, including:
- Dopamine
- Endorphin
- Serotonin
Stay stopped by adding routine exercise to your daily life.
Just like any other habit, repetition reinforces the behavior – good or bad.
Exercise not only helps you stay in recovery, it also has the obvious benefits of weight and disease management, delivering an overall sense of well being, and looking and feeling better!
