My resolution this year was to find better ways to 'de-stress'.  As I share this quest with you, let's take a look at an easy way to relieve ourselves from stress through food!

 

A balanced, healthy diet can help increase your resistance to stress. It's all about moderation (three times a day) and making sure to include:


Plenty of roughage, especially grains and cereals.


Plenty of fruit and vegetables.


Small to moderate amounts of fats, oils and proteins (meat,
chicken, fish).


Lots of fresh water (at least eight glasses a day).

 

As they say, slow and steady wins the race, but this isn't a competition!  This is about you and me finding better ways to be healthy.  I hope this is your first step to a better you in 2013!
