Do you know how the stress can affect your body? When you are under stress, you need extra nutrients like vitamins and minerals. To make it easier to understand, just imagine when you are driving a car, and suddenly you brake sharply. What would happen to your car? It consume more fuel, and you need to supply more fuel to your car. Not only the fuel, you need to change brake , tyres, cooling liquid etc if you constantly speeding or driving your car with sudden brake. This is similar when you under stress, your body needs more nutrients, your heart, muscle are exhausting and more free radicals will produce. To find out what free radicals do to ouy body, please refer to my previous article Health No 1 Enemy - Oxidation. Anti-oxidant is the solution to nuetralize the free radicals.
The sad fact is normally when people under stress and busy, they tend to make poor food choice like fast food, or even skipping meals. This is damaging to the body. Just imagine a car with excessive acceleration and brake without supplying extra fuel, sooner or later, the car will be sent to garage. If the car is our body, we will experience the breakdown of body systems, it could be just a flu, cold to cancer or heart problem dependant on the level of seriousness.
Stress is unavoidable in the modern world, but the diet and nourishment has to be incorporated so that we can cope with the stress in a more effective way.
