Nutrition for Stress

distance-learning course

Bad nutrition and eating habits can stress our body and create unnecessary stress in our lives.

Our health and well-being suffer through eating poor quality food which is nutritionally deficient.  This can start with mild illnesses and lead to more serious diseases such as chronic digestive disorders, heart problems, diabetes and cancers.  It can deplete our energy and immune defence system, cause imbalance in our hormones and affect the functioning of our brain and all our bodily systems.  

When you are stressed, whatever the cause of your stress, you need the right type of food and drink in your daily diet. It can boost your mood and energy, relieve depression, clear your mind to cope with challenges, prevent long-term illness and increase life expectancy by keeping your heart and body healthy.

It is never too late for some self-help in reducing or eliminating the causes and symptoms of stress and ill health.  Medication doesn't always have the solutions, and no medication comes without side effects, some of which create added stress and health problems.  Sometimes even a small change in the diet can bring amazing results in the way you feel.

This course provides an insight into the many different nutrients in food which form the foundation of good health, energy and vitality.  It guides in getting the best from your food, not only in your personal food choices, but in the way you eat and treat your food.  It provides all you need to know to start on your path towards healthy eating, improved health and less stress.  It also provides positive ideas for some healthy lifestyle changes to support a healthy diet in improving health, well-being and overall quality of life.  

For therapists, guiding your clients towards a healthier diet will help them to overcome their issues, whether physical, mental or emotional.  It will support every therapy. Good nutrition is the foundation of body balance.  When the body is back in balance, optimum conditions are created for the body to start its own healing process. The course provides 18 hours of CPD.
