Healthy Eating

Eat Healthy Foods
As Part of Stress Management

Healthy Eating: Sufficient nutrients are required by our bodies to provide energy so that we are able to cope with daily stressors.

Your body needs fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water to function optimally.

Many people respond to stress by indulging in fatty or sugary foods - "comfort foods".



Eating junk foods and unhealthy foods, and overeating any kind of food, adds to the stress level of your body.

Hypnosis is a very effective way of changing your eating patterns.

"Let food be your medicine
and let medicine be your food."

Eat foods that enhance your health, avoid foods that increase the toxins in your body.

Healthy eating and nutrition gives your body fuel to handle day-to-day life stressors.

What you eat affects your health and well-being.

In today’s society our bodies age prematurely due to environmental impacts such as pollutants and chemicals, as well as lifestyle and eating choices, which are detrimental to our bodies.

There are many different diets and suggestions about proper eating. However, it is well known that are bodies need a variety of nutrients including proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates to keep it healthy.

Consider the basics:

- Everything in moderation
- Maintain a healthy weight for your body size
- Eat a variety of natural foods for different nutrients (Shop in the outer aisles of your supermarket.)
- Avoid too much sugar and salt
- Use fresh foods as much as possible

Here's what hypnosis can do for you...


How Does Stress Affect Health?

Stress affects our body’s ability to absorb nutrients.

If you are suffering from chronic, prolonged stress, your body is continuously in a state of fight or flight and your digestive system is not functioning properly.

Your body is unable to soak up the required minerals for a healthy immune system functioning when you are constantly tense. People who are experiencing chronic stress have been shown to be deficient in magnesium, chromium, copper, iron and zinc – even though they ate a healthy diet.

Without these minerals their immune system suffered and they became more vulnerable to illness and disease.

In a healthy stress-free individual, free radicals (environmental pollutants that destroy various parts of cells) are removed (metabolized) from the body by beta-carotene and vitamin C & E.

If we are under stress our bodies cannot absorb these vitamins and the free radicals are free to destroy cells - which have been linked to cancer and heart disease.

So it is important to make sure that healthy eating is part of your stress management program--especially if you are under an unusual amount of stress!

Hypnosis is an easy way to start eating healthier foods.
