Chapter Ten: Health & Nutrition in Addiction Recovery
In this chapter I explain how alcohol and drugs can attack physical health. Then I lay out the elements of a healthy diet and an effective exercise plan, along with tips and worksheets that can help you stay on course.
As you have been learning in chapter ten, what you eat and how you take care of your body can significantly impact the success of your recovery program. Unfortunately, not much information is available on how nutrition and your health are specifically affected by alcohol and/or drug use. Therefore, on www.enterhealth.com we created over four hours of in-depth information and exercises to teach you the latest scientifically-based skills in this critical area of your life. So in addition to reading chapter ten in Healing the Addicted Brain, I strongly recommend that you work through all four of the eLessons on nutrition.
The goal of this webpage is to provide you with more in-depth information and resources on health and nutrition’s critical role in a successful long-term sobriety program.
There is one specific set of resources that is referenced from the book to this webpage for this chapter. It is as follows (just click on the appropriate item below to be taken to it):

When you get to the end of this set of four eLessons, please just click the continue arrow and it will take you right into the next eLesson. If you want to do them separately at different times, you just need to complete eLessons 13-16 in the Advanced Recovery part of the Online Recovery page of www.enterhealth.com.
Also, I highly encourage your family members or loved ones to work through these Health and Nutrition eLessons on their own as well, so that they can get back into healthy eating and healthful habits. If they do so, you will have a much higher chance of success in changing your old habits for the long run.
