1. Put Out The Fires Of Inflammation
The primal nutrition program advocates eating clean, unprocessed foods in their most natural and nutrient-dense state,

Primal nutrition ensures your patients eat an abun-dance of anti-inflammatory foods, like garlic, broccoli,
spinach, kale, onions, and peppers to name a few.

4. Restructure The Body By Increasing Movement
We’ve been running really quickly for millions of years. And we’ve been walking long distances at slow paces for millions of years. Primal fitness primes the cardiovascular system for ultimate fat burning and heart health. And your patients don’t have to be athletes or gym rats to start moving their bodies in the most efficient man-ner possible.
Primal fitness focuses on moving frequently at a slow pace. Slow movement is the foundation of fitness. Walking, hiking, gentle cycling -- these aren’t about burning calories; they’re about maintaining the move-ment and the ability to move.
The primal fitness program eschews chronic exercise, which has proven deleterious to health, and instead incorporates occasional sprinting, which is brutally effective and highly
efficient at promoting growth hor-mone release, fat burning, and lean mass building. Of course, sprinting is customizable with low-impact cycling and other options for less mobile patients.
5.Lifestyle Habits For Longe- vity and Optimal Health
Many diet and exercise programs stop at nutrition and fitness recom-mendations, but the primal nutrition and fitness program is a comprehen-sive wellness plan that helps your clients make the best lifestyle choices across the board, all of which are supported by the latest health and wellness science. Primal nutrition counseling includes sleep sugges-tions, tackles the sedentary living epidemic with sitting and standing guidance, manages the symptoms of stress and anxiety, encourages adequate rest and plentiful play, and even advises on safe sun and ample
vitamin D production. By following the primal prescription for health, your chiropractic care truly becomes complete.
Chiropractic care works to guide and support patients in all aspects of their well-being. By helping your patients’ transition to a healthier eating and exercise plan you can also help with obesity, cancer, migraines, heart disease, and diabetes. If you’re looking to add nutritional counseling to your offerings, or would like to expand your current diet and exer-cise recommendations, then a primal nutrition and fitness program may be just what you’re looking for.
