Eating well, hydration, exercise and potion control.

STRESS IS FOOD TOO (But it’s not eaten)

Most people think food only enters the body through the mouth.
That’s not true.

Stress feeds the body too.

Every time you are stressed:
▪️ Cortisol is released
▪️ Blood sugar rises
▪️ Blood pressure increases
▪️ Inflammation increases (pain in some parts of your body)

Stress tells the body: “Something is wrong. Save energy. Hold fat. Raise sugar.”

This is why stressed people:
▪️ Struggle to control diabetes
▪️ They have unstable BP
▪️ They gain weight easily
▪️ They heal slowly
▪️ They feel tired even after eating

Stress affects:
▪️ Insulin sensitivity
▪️ Hormone balance
▪️ Appetite control
▪️ Sleep

You can eat well,
but if stress is high, healing become slow.

Common things that makes people become stressed:
▪️ Financial pressure
▪️ Poor sleep
▪️ Relationship tension
▪️ Fear about illness
▪️ Overworking

Managing stress is part of treatment, not optional.

Simple stress reducing habits that support healing is as follows: ▪️ Regular meals
▪️ Adequate sleep
▪️ Slow breathing (take some deep breath a minute to 2)
▪️ Short walks
▪️ Limiting constant worrying

Medication + nutrition + stress control = healing.

Ignoring stress is like eating junk food every day.
