Did your car accident make you fat?

There is a great chef, an iron chef, Next Great Baker & BBQ Pit Masters and many other TV shows and an entire network dedicated to food and cooking. I have come across some people who hate cooking and there are many that I have met who really find this to be a very enjoyable hobby and activity. Whether they are cooking for themselves or for a family of 5, if the person who cooks most of the house is injured in a car accident, Back pain can disrupt the flow of the home and sneak up on unwanted pounds. everyone in the house.

One of the most common complaints I hear from accident victims centers on the pain experienced while standing. The types of back pain that occur after an accident can range from mild muscle spasm to disc problems that cause numbness and tingling in the legs. Discomfort can start in as little as 5 minutes after standing and may not go away for hours. (even after sitting down).

• increased risk of obesity

Making it at home saves you money too and probably tastes a lot better too. Often times when food is cooked at home, the person who cooks can use healthier alternatives to prepare the food … like using ground turkey instead of ground meat for certain meals.

Failure to prepare home-cooked meals because of the pain you feel after being injured in a car accident is included in a classification called “loss of enjoyment.” This change in daily activity should be documented by your personal injury chiropractor as you go through your chiropractic rehab.
