Stress Management

Stress is an inevitable part of our life, we can experience stress from the environment, our body and our thoughts. About 7 out of 10 people say they suffer from some form of stress.

The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. It becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors.

In response to stress, the body releases stress hormones. If one is frequently facing challenges and the body constantly produces stress hormones and does not have the time to recover, these hormones over time affect - the digestive system, lead to overweight or obesity, weaken the immune system, affect the nervous system that leads to difficulty in falling asleep, anxiety, depression, etc. and affect the cardiovascular system.

Hormonal changes that occur during stress lead to insulin resistance, thyroid, hypertension, obesity, weight loss and other lifestyle-related health issues.

Food plays a crucial role in stress management. When under stress, the hormonal chaos in the body leads to either over-eating or under-eating that yields obesity or weight loss as a result!
