#stress #nutrition September will be a return to being focused on nutrition. But lets not rush the end of the month. How does stress effect nutrition? Do you have a “go to” snack all ready for when the day starts to get too stressful? Stress and nutrition can become vicious cycle. When we are stressed, we are drawn to quick “feel good” foods that are high in sugar, fat and calories. However, those foods create a cascade of hormones, as they are being digested, that allow for an increased in stress hormones. It takes some planning and knowledge to be ready to combat stress with better nutrition.
