To be stress free we must be healthy - To be healthy we must be stress free.INSYAALLAH
You are what you eat. Food provides energy. Every cell within your body
requires energy to live. The food you eat influences the health of new cells.
Cells die off and are replaced every minute of every day.
One of the first indications of stress is fatigue. Fatigue is the body’s wisdom
calling out for attention. Your diet can greatly influence your moods, alertness,
vitality and physical health. When your body is not properly nourished you may
become tired or depressed. Food is preventative medicine. It is vital to your
body's healing capacity.INSYAALLAH
The wrong foods pollute your body and can be considered poisonous. There is
strong evidence to prove that certain foods increase our protection from
diseases and illnesses. The direct cause of many diseases has been found to be
nutritional deficiency. Much information is given about diet and it can be quite
overwhelming.Here's how simple it is:
Eat fruits and vegetables everyday, ideally, eat at least 2 pieces of fruit and 5 vegetables,
Raw, unprocessed foods are superior,
Include oils, but preferably don’t heat them,
Eliminate or greatly reduce saturated fats,
Choose unprocessed grains, nuts, and legumes,
Eat only lean meat, in small quantities, and
Make seafood a first choice for protein.
Most importantly, make food enjoyable and varied. Minimize or eliminate caffeine, M.S.G, soft drinks,
white flour, sugar and animal fats. Be suspicious of any food that contains additives or bleaches or has been
chemically treated. Choose fresh food over tinned or packaged food.
Ideally, drink water. Dehydration is one of the main causes of fatigue and headaches. Without enough fluid,
your kidneys are overworked and you are less able to eliminate toxins. Coffee and soft drinks dehydrate
your body and also rob it of essential nutrients. Too much caffeine works like adrenaline, so it’s like an
artificial stress. Don't drink at meal times because your stomach needs undiluted acids to digest food.
Physical exercise breaks down stress in the body, produces a sense of well-being and increases energy.
Exercise is particularly good for increasing respiration and circulation and decreasing acidity. Exercise
greatly improves immune system function. Stretching and toning exercises help to release toxins and
oxygenate the cells, strengthen muscles, and release or ease body aches and minor pains.
Exercise also kick-starts the metabolism and helps to burn off calories improving digestion and elimination.
Many people hate exercising or simply cannot exercise. For these people, I highly recommend stretching,
swimming, or walking. One of the best things I have tried is the big exercise ball. It's ideal for the lazy
person, as you can sit and watch television and gently rock back and forth. If that’s not do-able, then at
least take 30 minutes a day and deep breathe. Deep breathing is beneficial as an aerobic exercise.INSYAALLAH.hopefully,sharing this information is a help to all,insyaallahGOD BLESS AND AMEEN.
