Is Nutrition the Key
to Overcoming
Alcohol Addiction?
Prior to entering treatment, some patients can consume
up to 15 alcoholic drinks a day, which can equal a full
day’s calories.
= 2,000 Calories
Full day’s recommended
calorie intake
Zinc - found in foods like red meat, dairy, nuts,
and dark chocolate
B Vitamins - found in foods like fruits, leafy
vegetables, meats, and eggs
Protein - found in foods like oats, poultry, fish,
and broccoli
According to new research, those struggling with alcohol
addiction often lack these key nutrients:
Low blood sugar is easy to mistake for a craving for
alcohol or sweets. Healthy eating habits can keep
blood sugar steady and control cravings.
Examples of Low Glycemic Index Foods:
• Dairy
• Legumes
• Whole grain cereals
• Rice
• Pasta and Noodles
