13/7/2018 0 Comments Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. So does food and mood!I love that old saying, with all its connotations of two people living and working together in harmony for mutual benefit.
Well, this also applies to food, mood and the management of stress. What we eat can affect our mood and our mood is influenced according to our stress levels. Eating a balanced healthy diet can ensure that we are getting enough of the important nutrients to keep our brains and bodies functioning as they should. In times of stress there is an increase in the production of cortisol which increases the demand for energy in the form of glucose. If the stress is constant and chronic, cortisol production never reduces to normal levels and this is associated with increased deposition of visceral fat among other things. Visceral fat levels above the norm can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and can result in weight gain. So, eat well, learn to relax and seek help if your diet and stress levels become a concern to you.
