In this modern day and age, many of us seem to be taking our bodies and minds for granted. We get caught up with modern technologies like wifi, mobile phones and more.

We get stress from one source or another; we eat too much (denatured foods), drink too much alcohol or soft drinks (soda, Red Bull…).
.
Let’s explore stress and the mind-set behind it. People believe stress and work pressures help them perform better ~ that may be true. However, the negative effects of stress can be high, and detrimental to your overall health.

Stress can make you can explode with rage and temper, ruin your relationships and even cost you your job.

So is stress worth the small performance boost? NO WAY! it’s probably better to chill out once in a while and enjoy the small, but important, things in life, like friendship, a walk with a loved one eating your favourite childhood snack on the beach with an old friend.

Meditation is an excellent tool. It helps dissipate stress. You’ll find that you begin to see life from a whole different perspective.

Stress can be exacerbated by a bad, processed food diet. Processed and denatured foods can lead to emotional and physical disturbances.
