Holistic Nutrition After SCI (For You And Him)

Hey All!
On our Instagram, We did a live video a while ago with Jasmine Rose, the official WAGS of SCI Holistic Nutritionist. In the video we talked about her top tips for health and wellness after a spinal cord injury, from a Holistic Health perspective. We asked her YOUR questions and she gave us so much valuable info on how food and nutrients can heal.
We wanted to share the PDF she made for our community AFTER the video was made with a summary of all the questions that were discussed and her answers.
We have attached it to this discussion thread for your enjoyment and education! Feel free to share

Thank you so much for sharing!

I too follow a healthy diet. In addition to being paralyzed, I am also a type 1 diabetic. Keeping my blood sugars under control helps me avoid UTI's. I also just feel a heck of a lot better when I am not eating heavily processed and adulterated foods. Personally, I feel the typical American's diet is laden with refined, processed carbohydrates. Fresh fruits, vegetables, organic meat, poultry and seafood with very few carbs are my eating regimen. But, as you also mentioned, I will enjoy some craft beers from time to time with my two sons. It is so much fun!
