These products can exacerbate stress and depression

Uncontrolled eating anything and everything during times of stress can aggravate the psychological state.

Nutritionists have called products that you can’t eat during times of stress.

Biscuits, dried, pretzels

What is easier during difficult situations unbeknownst to himself to eat a pack of crackers or box of cookies. Such a La carte snacks doesn’t saturate like it should, so the amount of food eaten is difficult to control, if attention is distracted. You really need carbohydrates, they help your body to deal with stress, but only good complex carbohydrates. And those contained in the cookies, too fast will raise the level of glucose in the blood and will leave you in a worse condition than it was.

Tofu

The first other vegan – soy cheese – also the first enemy who is in distress. Tofu contains a lot of copper, and it is this substance in the body associated with elevated levels of stress. In addition, these products are most often produced using GMOs and their effect on the body, especially weakened by stress, yet to be fully explored. Tofu is best to eat fish with fatty acids. They are a great help to cope with stress.

Candy

The most difficult during times of stress – to stay off the sweet stuff, because it creates the illusion of temporary improvement, and in some cases can enhance the mood. Chemically it is associated with increased sugar levels in the blood, which will fall sharply in a very short period of time. This means that the stress will overtake you with new strength. Instead of candy, nutritionists recommend to take strawberries. First, it is too sweet, but useful product. Secondly, until you clear each strawberry from the green “tails”, your concentration will increase, which is very good for coping with stress.

Based drinks coffee

Coffee is a great source of energy. But for a very short period of time. However, if you are experiencing stress, to achieve a positive effect of the drinks based on coffee hard. If your drink is still sweet like a frappuccino or a latte, most likely coupled with caffeine it will send you to knockout before you’ll feel a rush. Better in times of stress coffee to replace tea e.g. chamomile.

Energy

“Red bull” and other such cocktails as well as energy bars, filled with sugar and fast carbohydrates that are rapidly absorbed and leave you with nothing. The mood will be worse, and the body will experience additional stress due to a shock dose of caffeine. In any case, instead of the artificial power with the objective of increasing the boost will handle the nuts. Half a Cup of almonds will prolong the reserve forces as long as you will not be able to relax.

Wine

Okay, it sounds sacrilegious, but if you are experiencing stress, wine is not the best way of dealing with it. Alcohol itself is a powerful depressant and known as a stimulant of the level of cortisol – the stress hormone. Moreover, such a way out of a difficult emotional situation can cost you your health – it and become alcoholics.

Fried food

Stress is the body’s way to show that he doesn’t like what you make. And often it applies to food too. So fried food is almost the last nail in the lid of your normal state of health. Not only that it does not carry any nutritional value, and loaded with sodium and harmful fats. Therefore, set aside the chicken wings and French fries and replace them with fresh vegetables.

Muffins and pastries

Next time when you decide on the way to work after a sleepless night in a hurry to eat a muffin, stop and think. These products are completely devoid of protein, filled with sugar and empty carbs. In an hour you’ll be hungry again in a bad mood. As fast but much more useful will be Breakfast scrambled eggs. They are high in vitamin D which will help keep the strength to work.
