De-Stress Your Life

Do you have a lot of stress in your life? How do you handle your stress? Is it simply too much?


If you feel like the walls are closing in and the stress in your life is out of control, you may be perpetuating the situation with emotional eating. Proper nutrition can make such a difference to your stress levels.


I won’t say that I can magically eliminate the stress in your life because that’s an unrealistic expectation. What I will tell you is that you can improve how you deal with your stress with the food that you eat!


Firstly, eating foods rich in vitamin B will help you with stress management. Examples of vitamin B rich foods are:


1) Spinach

2) Cabbage

3) Butternut Squash

4) Carrots

4) Tomatoes

5) Turnips


There are a lot of other foods that are important to our overall health and well being. Here is a general guideline which is good to follow:


2 to 4 servings leafy veggies

2 to 3 servings low glycemic veggies

1 to 2 servings starchy veggies

1 serving nuts and seeds

2 to 3 servings good oils

2 to 3 servings quality protein

3 to 5 servings whole grains

2 to 3 servings legumes

2 to 3 servings fruit

1 to 2 servings dairy (Many people have allergies or sensitivities to dairy, use your judgement as to what works best for you. If you cannot consume dairy, take a high quality Calcium Magnesium supplement)


Having said that, it can often be challenging to consume enough of the foods we need to provide our bodies with the nutrition it is craving, so I recommend a quality whole food supplement program.


The brand and complete supplement I recommend is Shaklee Vitalizer. This supplement has a delivery system which makes the nutrients bio-available to your body. In other words, it is absorbed properly where needed.


However, if you need additional stress relief, I also suggest, Shaklee Stress Relief Complex and Vitamin B Complex.
