Stress

by Jorge Bustamante

Naturopathic Nutrition Consultant

Stress is a normal response under certain circumstances causing hormones such as adrenaline, pour into the body’s systems, providing stimulation, preparing the body for action, e.g. in response to immediate danger. Prolonged stress can cause mental and physical damage.

Stress can lead to depression, insomnia, allergies, ulcers, digestive disorders, menstrual problems, palpitations, impotence, etc.

A balanced diet rich in B, C vitamins and Magnesium will help coping with stress. This includes: Wholegrains, almonds, bee pollen, fish, broccoli and green vegetables, fresh fruit, and the superfood Cacao (raw chocolate) rich in natural anti-stress compounds such as Anandamide, Dopamine, Serotonin, and Tryptophan.
