How many of us have automatically reached for that extra chocolate biscuit, cup of coffee, cigarette or glass of wine due to feeling stressed? I am guessing at some point, most of us. With stress impacting both our emotional wellbeing and physical wellbeing, it’s unsurprising that we find it harder to make healthier choices when suffering from stress.
People work long hours and rely on caffeine to get them through a busy day, often without realising that caffeine stimulates the release of our stress hormone cortisol. This sends us on an emotional rollercoaster of poor concentration, short temper, cravings (particularly for sugar) and weight gain. Not taking time to enjoy our lunch can upset our digestion resulting in us feeling bloated, constipated, experiencing heart burn or other discomforts and can end up in us skipping the means to combat this (i.e. eating well).
Rarely do we find ourselves getting enough nutrients, especially protein to help keeps us balanced individuals, coping with the day’s demands.The right nutrition can have a huge impact on our mood and energy levels and give you back that boost and motivation needed for a busy day in the office.
