De-Stress Diet

No amount of scrolling through your social media feed or gorging V on your favourite foods can keep those racing thoughts at bay. With an ever-demanding job, social commitments, and the need to keep up with the online world, one can get overwhelmed. And I don't blame you. In the days when you should be revelling in your youth, you sit slumped with the burden of the world on your shoulders. This stress has a great impact on your life.

This is how stress affects you:

Prevents you from getting adequate sleep

Makes you hungry all the time and binge-eat

Results in loss of appetite and signs of eating disorders appear

Leaves you with a lack of energy and enthusiasm in daily tasks

Makes you irritable, moody, and angry easily

Gives you an upset stomach, constipation, headache, and muscle pain

But don't be disheartened. I have the solution to your worries. The saying “You are what you eat” may sound cliched to you, but truer words haven't been spoken. The food that we eat can worsen the stress or help calm you down. So, sit back and read on as to how, in this choppy sea of stress, the following stress-busting foods, beverages, and lifestyle tips can be your anchor.

Water it down: Often ignored, this is the easiest way to get rid of stress. Poor digestion, high body temperature, toxins, and fatigue lead to stress. Hydrating yourself is the solution to getting rid of all of these woes.
