Book Review

Stress is an unavoidable aspect of our lives, and how we deal with it greatly influences our overall well-being. Stress may be harmful to our health. Thus stress management is essential. In this case, stress corresponds to the time we spend preparing and planning what to make. To meet deadlines, we frequently rely on readily available quick meals that are dangerous and unhealthy.

Among the different stress-reduction measures accessible, our food choices have a crucial influence. Certain meals can help relieve stress in a variety of ways. Warm muesli, for example, can increase serotonin levels, a brain chemical that creates a calm sensation. Furthermore, some meals can reduce cortisol and adrenaline levels, which are stress chemicals with long-term impacts on the body. We may easily combat the harmful effects of stress by eating a balanced diet, which strengthens our immune system and lowers blood pressure.
