Dietary considerations. Diet is very important in
regulating how you feel. An addictive person is very 'tuned in' to
bodily sensations, and they will frequently abuse substances to make
themselves feel better. To improve your diet we recommend you do the
following:
A)
Avoid food and drinks that give you a
quick rush or emotional high. These include junk food, caffeinated
beverages or products high in sugar. These all make you feel good for
the moment, but are usually followed by a low feeling, which may
intensify a 'need' for drugs and alcohol.
B)
Eat a well balanced diet & eat in
regular intervals (every several hours). Do not skip meals, especially
breakfast. Avoid having an empty stomach.
C)
Eat lots of raw foods, fresh
vegetables & fruit juices.
Helpful
nutritional supplements.
Use nutritional supplements to aid in
your addiction recovery. These work best when combined with a good
diet.
A) Addicts are prone to feeling
irritated, have nervous tremors, feel physical
pain or have muscle spasms. To combat this take a good
calcium and magnesium supplement.
These can be bought separately (as just
Magnesium or
Calcium) or together in a single supplement.
B)
Alcoholics are known to be lacking in
selenium.
Selenium can be toxic in high amounts so try to keep it
to 200mcg daily or lower.
C)
Drugs & alcohol are known to rob a
body of Zinc.
Zinc is essential to protect the
liver from damage and help your immune system.
D) Use a
B-Complex supplement to rebuild the liver and nervous
system during times of stress, such as an addiction. Use
about 100mg a day, preferably in the morning with your meal.
E)
To improve your outlook and attitude,
try taking
5-htp. This produces a higher serotonin output in your
brain and increases your ability to ward off temptations.
F) Cocaine cravings can be reduced when
n-acetyl-cysteine is
taken daily. Meanwhile, alcohol cravings can be minimized when the
amino acid Glutamine is taken
daily in relatively high dosages.
