Drugs........Roxies - Nutrition and lifestyle advice

[Guest guest]

As a former nutritional consultant and facility supervisor for a drug

and alcohol recovery center for young men I would point out that

besides detoxing, you should also consider the nutritional and

lifestyle components of recovery. Drug use and the poor dietary and

lifestyle habits of drug users leave the body deficient in vital

nutrients. Also, the wrong diet can increase cravings and retard

recovery just as the right diet can decrease cravings and help recovery.

 

Sugar (including carbonated sugary drinks), junk food, fast foods,

white bread, and the same kinds of foods considered unhealthy for

cancer patients are the foods that help feed addiction, though

recovering addicts can safely eat more fruits, drink more fruit juices

and eat a bit more honey as a sugar substitute than cancer patients

should. Likewise, a sedentary lifestyle and lack of sunshine, lack of

fresh air and lack of good water are also obstacles.

 

A lifestyle that includes exercise or other physical activities and

good healthy diet will help greatly. I would especially encourage

green leafy vegetables and omega 3s and making sure that there

otherwise plenty of magnesium and calcium.

 

Other items normally deficient in recovering drug users, including

those who have used a form of hydrocodone such as " roxies " are:

 

* Pyridoxine or Vitamin B-6

* Thiamine

* Folic Acid

 

For more suggestions, here is a pretty good article I recommend reading:

I hope this helps,
