Healthy Eats for Increased Physical Performance

You are what you eat -- especially when it comes to physical therapy.

It’s no secret that diet is tied to the way that we feel, but diet is particularly important when you’re managing pain and or disease. Eating the right balance of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and carbohydrates is essential to helping your body perform optimally. If you’re recently injured or have recently been diagnosed with a disease that will limit your physical mobility, it’s particularly important to eat healthfully to avoid putting on weight, since extra weight can make it harder to stay healthy.

We’re so lucky to have a wide range of restaurants and markets with healthy food options here in Austin. We’ve put together a list of our favorites to make it easy for you to find something scrumptious, and nearby.

And while you’re at it, check out this article on eating healthy during physical therapy with nutritionist Lisa Corrado.
