    Choosing Food Is Fine For The Peace Of Mind!

    “Stress”, is a friend of ours now! No longer a stranger! Adults do have a lot of stress-related to workload, family issues, etc Children these days are also taking a lot of loads( carrying heavy school bags, completing homework, exam pressure, etc)Stress is a big word with different types and intensities. We might experience the same kind of difficult situations in life. Our responses differ from person to person.

    “Attitude” is what exactly differs!

    As they say –

    A pessimist perceives every negative side for an opportunity.

    An optimist perceives positive side for an opportunity.

    An opportunist converts every difficulty into opportunity!

    We all wish to stay calm and positive during stress. Solving problems is a big task although. Giving the best performance, we try to get the best results each day. An effort to add success and happiness in our lives! In stress, we try a lot of things like meditation, laughter therapy, reading jokes or watching comedy shows, listening to songs, etc. It is believed that stress changes “eating behavior” or pattern.

    Individuals’ food choices are mainly influenced due to stress. Sweet craving is more common during stress. Some people might choose comfort foods like ice cream, chocolate, pizza, etc. These people mostly put on weight during stress. On the other hand, some people may eat in less quantity or sometimes even skip their meals. They tend to lose weight during stress. Both approaches can give temporary relief.
