Substance addiction often makes it impossible to pay attention to nutrition. While dealing with the consequences of addiction, poor eating habits and a lack of nutrients can take a physical toll on the body. We know that to fully recover mind, body, and spirit, you need not just nourishment but also food that you are excited to eat. That’s why SOBA New Jersey has an on-site Executive Chef that cooks up well-balanced, 5-Star favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, keeping our clients happy and healthy, each and every day.

Eat Well to Get Healthy

Your Wellness Matters Here

“You are what you eat” might be a bit of an exaggeration. However, every longstanding mantra has at least some truth to it. When you eat well, it can be the first step to feeling well.

A good nutrition plan is a vital component of the addiction recovery process for many reasons, such as:

Bodily Recovery: Substance abuse often leads to physical deterioration and malnutrition as it can inhibit the body's ability to absorb and use nutrients effectively. Replenishing these nutrients through healthy, well-balanced meals can help the body repair the damage caused by substance abuse, boost energy levels, strengthen the immune system, and promote overall physical health.
Mental Health: The mind-body connection plays a significant role in recovery. Nutritious food can positively impact mood, mental clarity, and cognitive function. It can reduce cravings, stabilize blood sugar levels, and improve sleep patterns — all essential aspects of maintaining sobriety and minimizing the risk of relapse.
Enjoyment of Life: The act of enjoying delicious meals can unexpectedly serve as a reminder of the simple pleasures in life that don’t rely on harmful substances. As you rebuild a healthy relationship with food, you might find yourself regaining interest in other activities and hobbies, like reading, writing, or even cooking!

Wellness Exercises to Feel Better

Engaging in routine, light exercise is another essential component of a holistic approach to substance abuse recovery. Regular physical activity can provide a wide range of benefits that contribute significantly to the healing process. Exercise releases endorphins, serves as a healthy coping mechanism to stress, and can even promote a better sleep cycle.

When combined with a nutritious diet, light exercise can also help restore the body’s health after the damage caused by substance abuse. Good nutrition fuels the body, providing the energy needed to engage in physical activity, while exercise helps to efficiently utilize the nutrients consumed.
