Why using a diet?

Using a good diet increases the speed of recovery. You just give your body the rest it needs. The diet prevents you to pick up the wrong foodstuffs which need a lot of energy from your body to remove it. All this energy can be used to to overcome your post traumatic stress disorder.

The reasons for a dietary intervention are:

good food supports the recovery process
bad food blocks the recovery process and places a heavy burden on the body
some food breaks down essential nutritional elements
a lot of food contains poison
some food prevents your body to pick up essential nutritional elements

Foodstuffs that are not allowed during the diet:

potatoes
alcohol
cola and other energizers
fast food
coffee
dairy products
sugar
the wrong fats
black tea

Backgrounds on the foodstuffs that need to be left out of your diet

Kick the habbit

In a lot of situations, your body got used to your high consumption of specific foodstuffs. It needs a time to readjust to lower levels of intake. This is the case for:

Coffee
Alcohol
Sugar

Allow your body about 2-3 weeks of lowering intake, only if it occurred to be a problem in your situation. The best is to stop immediately with the intake. This will result in fatigue (delayed fatigue) So, take your rest, sleep a lot and you will overcome this in the fastest possible way.

Individual diet:

Most people will need a personal adjustment in a specific diet. This diet will be specified after receiving the intake list.
