Today's information on proper nutrition can be confusing. What's best for you, your lifestyle, and your health? At Trophy Club Family Medicine, we counsel our patients on nutrition based on their individual needs. Trophy Club, TX, family medicine physicians, Dr. David Yi, Dr. April Enard, Dr. Paula Lansford Seabaugh, and PA Carol Addy PAC, understand that a big part of who you are and how you live is what you eat.

Eat what you need when you need it

Great nutrition depends on knowing what you need and when you need it. For instance, a professional athlete has different needs than the school-age child, and a cancer patient requires different foods than a diabetic with cardiac issues.

That's why we include nutritional counseling as part of the wide range of services at your medical office. They assess your nutritional profile at each annual exam, adjusting it as needed, and referring to a registered dietician when required.

As the patient, you should know that your body craves foods high in essential nutrients and low in additives (colors, preservatives, and fillers). Plus, general principals of moderation and variety benefit both you, your family, and anyone you enjoy a meal with regularly (your co-workers and neighbors as examples).

In fact, MedicalNewsToday says that what you eat boosts your immune system so you can avoid major health issues and heal well after injury, surgery, and acute illnesses such as the flu.

Good food habits prevent and manage chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, tooth decay, loss, and diabetes. Real food high in protein and fiber and low in fat increases bone density, improves mood and energy levels and helps you maintain healthy body weight.
