What You Put in Your Body Will Impact Your Stress Levels

We live in a fast paced, ever changing environment. We work hard, look after our families and seemed to be running from one event to another. Therefore, it’s even more imperative to look after yourself so that you can cope with what can sometimes be a stressful life.

One stress that you do have control over is the stress that you can cause in your own body. Take for example the many stimulant foods and liquids that cause stress on the body. Caffeine is one culprit. So if you have a high intake of caffeine whether through cola and fizzy drinks, chocolate and tea and coffee, reduce this as soon as you can. Caffeine addicts actually wear out the stress hormone-producing adrenal glands. This interference will also affect your metabolism enhancing weight gain.

I own a small business of about 10 employees in the construction industry. Often I have super high stress levels. Often to the point of exhaustion and anger. Cash flow is an issue with clients owing me hundreds of thousands of dollars often past due. I have thought about changing careers but I am stuck withh what I am doing based on my committments, ongoing projects, etc. I don’t turn to alcohol or drugs, maybe I should. Any suggestions on stress control would be helpful because I am going out of my freeking mind. I work out vigorously a few times a week and it certainly reduces my stress but only while I am actually working out. As soon as I am done, the phone is ringing, people need to get paid, I need to collect money owed to me, projects need to be completed, etc. etc. etc. etc. I don’t comtemplate suicide but I think heaven will be a better place for me. I don’t fear dying and sometimes think that will be the only time I will have peace and quiet. I love life however.

I am overweight with a big appetite, i’m always snacking or hungry. But now I lost my job i’ve noticed I don’t even want food, I just keep thinking how soon it will be before I can have a can of cider without being criticised for it (I.E i wanted some this morning but knew that it would not go down well and didn’t want unwanted attention due to drinking in the morning). I barely ate anything yesterday and I haven’t even had anything to eat yet today, I went to make breakfast and I just really am not hungry, but just wanting cider really badly? I’m thinking that this isn’t right but at the same time i’m not an alcoholic or anything…?

I’ve decided to change my diet, and cut out everything that stresses me out.
This means that anything with caffeine or alcohol in it has to go, and all the B-vitamine robbers are off limits, too (sugar, etc.).
Does anyone here know of any diets specifically geared toward calming people down and restoring their strength and resourcefulness?
I’ve been through a few mentally exhausting years, and want to make a fresh start.

I drank some of it before my diabetes test. The test ended up to be negative. but i am scared that i have it but the alcohol content in Bach natural stress relief that i took right before might have lowered my blood sugar to normal.
