In winter we tend to crave fats and sweets, but ironically, the more fat and sugar we eat, the less energy we have, and the more stressed and run down we feel. Most people are surrounded by holiday sweets and treats. Gilles-Khouri recommends eating in moderation. Reprogram your thinking. Don t think if some is good, more is better.
Nutrition can play a big part in reducing stress.
When you eat simple foods, Gilles-Khouri says you have a better chance of alleviating holiday stress. Problem solve with people around you. Ask them to help you alleviate stress. A few extra minutes of exercise a day can benefit your overall health. Decrease the amount of fat and sugar you eat.
