Stress

Did you know that much of the stress you undergo is linked to your diet?
Well a good way of preventing this is by following these "rules":
- Do not consume too much caffeine for it increases the liberation of adrenaline in the body and this also contributes to stress.
- Alcohol is also very dangerous because it not only increases the adrenaline in your body, but it also makes you more irritated, tense and you may have difficulty sleeping.
- Salt is horribly dangerous as well because it increases arterial pressure and it jeopardizes the glands that control your stress levels. (Attention: salt is present in many things; it is not only salt alone that causes these problems)
- Sugar is very good but yet very problematic. Too much sugar also jeopardizes the gland that leads with stress and this leads into irritability, bad concentration and even depression.
- Try to eat every 3 hours because when your body has no sugar in it, the adrenaline levels increase making you more likely to get stressed.

Now obviously there are things which you can abuse of like:
- Water. You should take at least 8 cups of water per day. Someone whose dehydrated has more problems leading with stressful events. Do not wait until you feel thirsty, because feeling thirsty is already a symptoms of dehydration.
- Make sure to have your intestines working well. For this you need to eat lots of fiber, drink a lot of water, do exercise, control liquid during your meals and eat every 3 hours. When you are stressed your intestine has problems working, this way you have to take care so when stress arrives you will not have any serious problems like constipation.
