Stress and anxiety affect the balance of our body, especially in regard
to circulatory and immune systems, and we become prone to disease and
stroke. Fortunately, proper diet and healthy other measures reduce its
impact.

For some time health experts recognize that humans are
more prone to illnesses of all types when subjected to extreme stress
situations. So heavy burden of work, family problems, traffic
congestion, and examination periods and to the birth of a baby at home
can have undesirable consequences for health.

Stages in the response to stress:
* Alarm. It is the defense against an immediate threat. It happens
even without conscious awareness and prepares us to overcome any risk.
* Adaptation or resistance. If the alarm stage is repeated or
continues, the body tries to adapt to the effort and still works, but
not as stable as before. Begin to manifest headache, insomnia,
nightmares, poor concentration or memory, irritability, digestive
problems, significant variations in weight and tension in the jaw.

* Depletion. When resistance is continuing the body can not extend the
effort, the energies are depleted and fragile internal balance is
broken. The ability to resist infection decreases while increases the
likelihood of infarction (tissue death from lack of blood supply, mainly
in heart and brain), high blood pressure, ulcers and even cancer.

In
addition, prolonged stress can worsen conditions that the individual
suffered from before, as diseases of the skin (itching, swelling and
rashes or pimples), asthma (inflammation of the airways that causes
shortness of breath), premenstrual discomfort
(physical or emotional symptoms occur days before a woman starts her
menstrual cycle), allergies and pain in head, back and joints.

Basic rules in the diet

Combating stress through diet is to eat healthy, balanced diet, although this is important to remember some key points:
* Respect the timing of meals and try to keep them stable every day.
This will prevent sudden decreases in the level of nutrients.
*
Start the day with a good breakfast. The lack of carbohydrates, vitamins
and mineral at midmorning causes nervousness and irritability.
*
The quality of sleep is disturbed due to abundant dining and drinking
plenty of fluids before bedtime. It is recommended not to take food in
the 2 to 3 hours before sleep.
* Avoid “crash diets” to lose weight because not only reduce the intake of carbohydrates but also vitamins and minerals.
