Balancing Your Diet to Improve Tension and Stress – Part 2
Today we are continuing with tips on balancing your diet to improve tension and stress.
It’s a good idea to avoid salt as it can increase blood pressure which, when confronted with a stressful situation, can increase the tension twofold. Foods such as hot dogs have a high salt content.
Another tip is to stay away from foods that contain fat. Instead, opt for vegetables, fruits, lean meats, fish, chicken, beans, and leafy green vegetables. These are not only healthy for you, but contain antioxidants that are beneficial in reducing free radicals in your body. For example, you can choose turkey burgers which are much leaner than regular beefburgers.
Instead of going out to lunch, you can make lunch at home and bring it to the office. Cut up some carrots, celery, and add some cottage cheese or tuna in water. Or, you can make a nutritious salad with pieces of chicken and lemon vinaigrette. Also, drink plenty of water each day. This serves to keep you sated and hydrated at the same time.
Balancing your diet to improve tension stress is as important as exercise. You will not only feel good, but your energy level will be constant and productivity will increase.
