Stress is something that affects everyone at some point, and it’s completely normal to feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. Whether you’re a new parent, starting a new job, or simply dealing with personal issues, stress can be overwhelming. But did you know that stress can also impact your physical and mental health by depleting critical nutrients that your body needs to function at its best?
Not sleeping enough impacts our ability to regulate our emotions, appetite and food choices, which increase the likelihood of both overeating and consuming unhealthy foods. On the other hand, poor food choices during the day may affect how well we sleep.
Sleep is for grandmas; you will sleep when you are dead, sounds familiar? I use to laugh from people who think that sleep is so important because when you are young, you can still get very little rest and keep going. But sleep is like a credit card, and if you miss a payment or pay late, your interest rates can change and skyrocket. Lucky me, I understood the importance of proper rest fast enough to take sleep as a serious business. I strongly recommend you to do that the same!
