Nail biting, excessive smoking, obesity and overeating are some of the
symptoms of stress, which can be overcome with a balanced diet and by drinking
enough water in a day. With high pressure schedules and long working hours, stress is becoming inevitable.
It is important to beat it the right way. "Eat regularly throughout the day in order to
maintain healthy blood sugar levels, choose
wholegrain foods such as brown rice and
wholemeal bread and avoid sugary snacks and
drinks," femalefirst.co.uk. quoted Robert Hobson,
head of nutrition of British health brand Healthspan, as saying. You can also manage stress by limiting caffeine
and alcohol intake. There are natural ways to beat stress as well.
"There are a number of herbs that calm such as
Rhodiola which is a registered herbal medicine
that could help to reduce symptoms of stress and
anxiety as well as helping to combat fatigue and improve mental alertness," Sarah
Brewer, author of the book "Cut Your Stress in 12 weeks", said.
Other ways of releasing stress include exercising and getting enough sleep.
