Nutrition is a very important part of addiction recovery. The brain, along with every other organ in your body, needs certain minerals, vitamins, and nutrients to function well. Unfortunately, addiction can interfere with your nutrition levels, making you more susceptible to physical ailments, cognitive decline, mental illness, and emotional distress. Luckily, reintroducing proper nutrition can help repair the harm that addiction can do to the body. Increasing your nutrition levels can also:
- Boost your immune system
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Help rebuild your physical strength
- Enhance your mental health
- Improve your mood
- Help you recover from illnesses and injuries
- Increase your energy levels
- Improve your overall well being
