Axotherapy: Integrating Physical Well-Being, Nutrition, and Lifestyle
Axotherapy not only focuses on physical well-being through spinal alignment but also considers nutrition and lifestyle essential to enhancing its benefits. A proper diet and balanced daily practices complement Axotherapy sessions, helping to reduce inflammation, promote cellular regeneration, and maintain long-term overall health.
Foundations of the Anti-inflammatory Diet
Chronic inflammation is one of the leading causes of various conditions, from muscle pain to accelerated aging. For this reason, Axotherapy recommends an anti-inflammatory diet that prioritizes natural foods rich in essential nutrients:
- Healthy Fats: Extra virgin olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds (such as chia and pumpkin), which provide omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.
- Clean Proteins: Lean meats, fish such as sardines or mackerel, and high-quality eggs, which are vital for cellular repair.
- Low Glycemic Index Carbohydrates: Leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus, which help maintain stable blood glucose levels.
- Anti-inflammatory Spices and Herbs: Turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, known for their ability to combat inflammation and oxidative stress.
This diet aims not only to eliminate inflammatory foods such as refined sugars, processed oils, and simple carbohydrates but also to reprogram metabolism towards a state of greater balance and energy.
Rejuvenation Protocols
Cellular regeneration and rejuvenation are supported by two main approaches:
- Specific Diets:
- Ketogenic Diet (Keto): High in healthy fats, moderate in proteins, and very low in carbohydrates, ideal for those looking to reduce systemic inflammation and promote autophagy (the process of cellular renewal).
- Paleolithic Diet (Paleo): Based on ancestral foods like meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, which eliminates processed foods entirely.
- Intermittent Fasting:
Strategies such as the 16:8 protocol (16 hours of fasting and 8 hours for eating) help improve insulin sensitivity, activate autophagy, and reduce oxidative stress.
For those seeking a deeper commitment, 24-hour prolonged fasting, under supervision, can accelerate detoxification and cellular rejuvenation.
Both approaches are adaptable to the individual’s needs and commitment level, offering flexibility for implementing sustainable changes.
Integration into Daily Life
The key to maintaining Axotherapy results is incorporating healthy habits in a practical way:
- Meal Planning: Prepare weekly menus with fresh foods to avoid the temptation of processed options.
- Hydration Routines: Drink enough water with natural electrolytes, such as coconut water, or add a pinch of sea salt.
- Stress Control: Combine diet with mindfulness or meditation practices to reduce inflammation-induced stress responses.
- Conscious Movement: Incorporate light exercises such as yoga, walking, or stretching to complement the benefits of spinal alignment.
