There’s no denying that as a collective, we have had some very tough moments and events occur over the last year.
⠀
That’s life, sh*t happens.
⠀
The trick is, not to let your body crumble under these circumstances.
⠀
A little bit of stress is actually GOOD for health (hormesis). That can look like exercise (weight training, sprinting), learning something new or problem solving.
⠀
But even that may be tooo much for someone who already has a lot on their physiological plate. Just speak to someone who has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia.
⠀
Working on nutrition and lifestyle with an experienced professional can help increase your stress tolerance, so that you’re able to operate without being overloaded.
⠀
From a nutrition perspective, one way we can lighten our load is by greatly reducing (or cutting out) inflammatory foods.
⠀
These are typically:
-gluten containing foods
-dairy containing foods
-sugary foods
-fried foods
-vegetable oils like rapeseed and sunflower
-processed foods (ready made shop bought stuff)
-alcohol
-𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 (this can often include healthy foods like tomatoes, peppers, nuts, aubergine, kiwi, strawberries..it’s very individual!)
⠀
Food sensitivities are not permanent in most cases, and there are ways to improve tolerance to these foods, while also optimising health.
