Every year, more than 95 million Americans suffer from at least one digestive health issue. Many of these issues may be brought on by increased stress and poor diet choices.
When we are stressed, often we turn to comfort foods, as they can make us “feel better.” But those foods aren’t always the most nutritious. While these poor diet choices might tame hunger and make you feel good in the short-term, overall they may be doing more damage than good to the digestive system.
It’s important to remember that not all healthy food is expensive. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats and beans can be the basics of some great meals. Also, make sure that you and your family members are drinking plenty of fluids.
When dealing with added stress, go for a walk or get some additional exercise, as that may help you to relax, reduce tummy troubles and promote regularity.
When times are tough, it’s important to make smart nutrition choices and manage your stress as the first steps to maintaining your overall health.Article provided by ARA Content. For more information and to learn more about managing constipation, log on to www.miralax.com.
