Eat Well, Live Well with Spinal Cord Injury is a comprehensive, practical nutritional guide written specifically for individuals with spinal cord injuries, as well as their families, friends, caregivers, health and medical professionals. 

After spinal cord injury, not only is your body forced to cope with the direct impact of paralysis, but it must also deal with the psychological stress, physical pain, biochemical changes and hormonal changes that take place. Together these factors can contribute to the development

of many common, recurring and potentially life-threatening secondary health complications, such as pressure sores, pain, fatigue, bladder infections, constipation and weight gain.

​

Nutrition has the power to help rebalance your body, prevent the development of many common and recuring secondary health issues, and achieve over all well-being. Practicing good nutrition also enables you to enhance your bodily functions, which can lead to greater independence and quality of life.

​

It is our hope that this book will help empower you to have greater control over your health and enhance your independence in an easy, practical and cost-effective way.
