Navigating Nutrition During Illness or Injury

Maintaining a healthy nutrition routine can be challenging when faced with illness, injury, or surgery. It is essential to separate exercise from nutrition, as many tend to overeat when they cannot maintain their usual physical activity. Individuals should pay attention to their appetite, which often decreases during periods of reduced activity, and adjust their food intake accordingly. Reducing carbohydrate consumption while ensuring adequate protein intake can support recovery, even if the exercise routine changes.
