Monitor your nutrients
When stress levels are elevated, the desire to eat salty and sugary processed foods often increases. Unfortunately, these foods cannot provide the nourishment our bodies need to help us combat stress. Eating a balanced diet is a classic technique for managing chronic stress. When we eat nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates as part of our regular diet, our bodies are much more equipped to manage stress over the long-term.
