Your DIET May Cause You STRESS! |

“Curry for the night is worry for the
morning. Tomorrow's bread is not assured from today's labor.” -One
type of diet stress!
“We live in a posh
locality. There are five excellent starred hotels near by. The
trouble with our family is that we argue almost daily, where we
should go for the dinner. The preferences vary and we bitterly
quarrel over eats.” Another type of diet stress!
The have’s
and the have not’s- both have diet stress. Our living in this world
is so molded by the scientists, economists and politicians that
people feel constantly fatigued and stressed.
What are the
actual reasons for the stress? “Just don't talk to me!” No one
has time to ponder over it. Many of us work for 12 to 14 hours a day.
But we don't have time to spare for a quiet lunch, say about 15
minutes. Even that we do along any other activity- in the company of
television or PC.
Just throwing the food in, like a robot, is
no proper way to eat. Many times, when you are under stress, you over
eat. This is extending invitation to more problems. You need to eat
food for your hunger and for your pleasure. The intake of food needs
to give you mental satisfaction as well.
Any type of decision,
made under stress, is not likely to give you positive results.
Because when you are under stress, there is increased production of
hormones within you and that disturbs the glucose levels. You become
more and more hungry and go on eating without rhyme or reason.
Overeating is a disease.
So
what should be your guiding principles for the diet that reduces
stress? Surrender to natural food. Tell me frankly- which sight is
pleasing to you? Fresh fruits and vegetables or a bowl filled with
spicy curry? It is researched that raw foods are rich in compounds
that help to combat stress symptoms. Flavanoids, for
example!
To meet the challenge of stress
through diet, completely transform your diet and lifestyles. Take
vegetables and fruits that contain lots of fiber. This will free you
of constipation that would help you relieve stress to a great extent.
Stress, which is a mental disease, will in all probability promote
physical diseases, if not checked in time.
Drink lots of
water. You need to cut drastically tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks!
They give you artificial relief, but in reality they are the cause of
more and stress!
Think before you eat. Eat with leisure and
pleasure!
