10 Symptoms of Stress
Symptom #6: Poor Diet
Being stressed can inevitably trigger poor decisions in diet. Following an eating pattern that is high in complex carbs and healthy fats can help improve headaches and make a person feel more in control of the stress that they are experiencing. The length of time that the headache lasts and it’s intensity can also be affected by eating a balanced diet.
An important tip is to keep eating healthy, balanced foods throughout the day. Start with a breakfast that includes protein, for example high protein cereal or eggs. Have a morning snack before lunch so that you are not famished and susceptible to making poor food choices. Eat a balanced lunch followed by another snack and then dinner, always making sure that you are not hungry and famished during the day. That way, when night time comes around, your blood sugar is balanced and you are feeling satisfied and full.
