Do NUTRIENTS play a part in STRESS MANAGEMENT?The answer is YES. A nutritious, well balanced diet has powerful stress reducing benefits that improve brain functioning, shore up immune function, lower blood pressure, improve the circulation, and reduce toxins from the body.

Some specific nutrients play an important role in reducing the stress causing hormone (cortisol) and adrenaline. The irony of stress is that people suffering stress need a more nutritionally dense diet but often opt for comfort foods (like sugary and fatty foods) lacking in the necessary nutrients, consequently inducing a situation of nutrient depletion that further compromises the metabolic systems.

A healthy diet can help counter the impact of stress by shoring up the immune system and lowering blood pressure. Few stress busting foods are as follows:

1. Oranges
2. Spinach
3. Chocolate (dark)
4. Banana
5. Walnuts
6. Flax seeds
7. Whole grains
8. Probiotics ( Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobaillus rhamnosus).
9. Green tea (2-3 cups)
10. Blueberries

Stress is going to happen at some point in a person’s life and will most defiantly happen more than once. However, as unavoidable as stress can sometimes be, it is always a choice. One can either let the body suffer from the effects of stress, or we can choose to do something about it.
Thus to keep the body and mind healthy, every individual should know the stress management and nutrition play a key role in stress management.

Have a stress free week.

Did you know:
Nutrition tips and diets from different sources can be misleading. Keep in mind the advice below, and always check with your nutritionist first.

Secret diets aren’t the answer. Fad or short-term diets may promise to help you lose weight fast. However, they are hard to keep up with and could be unhealthy.

Good nutrition doesn’t come in a pill. Try eating a variety of foods instead. Your body benefits most from healthy whole foods. Only take vitamins that your doctor/ nutritionist prescribes.

Diet programs or products can confuse you with their claims. Most people in advertisements get paid for their endorsements. They don’t talk about side effects, problems, or regained weight.
