Since today we are going to be talking about stress and its relationship with metabolism, I want you to understand why and how it leads to multiple damage to your body…

Also towards the end we are going to talk about different ways to deal with stress and the problems that it causes!

Remember how I always say that it’s never just a healthy body and healthy diet? Instead, It’s always HEALTHY MIND, BODY and SOUL! 

Here’s why……..

At any given time, there are millions of chemical reactions taking place in our cells — like digesting and assimilating nutrients, converting those nutrients into energy, and eliminating the rest as waste. The sum total of all these chemical reactions is known as metabolism. 

When we are in balance on every level — physical, emotional, mental and spiritual — our metabolism is in peak form, in turn utilizing calories in the most efficient way possible. On the contrary, whenever we are emotionally disturbed or stressed, on any or all of these levels, our metabolism is compromised. We store calories as fat instead of burning them as energy and we therefore need excess calories to accomplish the same metabolic functions. Thus our bodies going in storage mode…

When you are stressed, you end up with elevated stress hormones, especially Cortisol. During stress Cortisol can easily take over different hormones in the body. Cortisol affects metabolism by how glucose is formed. Stress-related weight gain can be due to a combination of low physical activity and increased caloric intake.

Being stressed is one of the main hazards of a healthy metabolism. How many times have you started a diet and done pretty well until some stressful event occurs. When the body faces any kind of stress- be it a simple traffic jam or a bad day, – it responds by dumping anti-stress (adrenal) hormones into the body. 

The most common is norepinephrine. This is a good thing except when your norepinephrine reserve is depleted, your body’s metabolism screeches to a halt – or at least slows way down. What’s worse, when the norepinephrine levels are low, insulin, the hunger hormone, pours in. In other words, to our brain, spiritual, emotional and mental hunger equals physical hunger. By making choices to change our conscious thoughts, we can change our subconscious inclinations.

Stress is notorious for causing comfort-food cravings and depleting the willpower you need to make healthy choices, but it can do a whole lot of metabolic damage even if you never cave to the sugar demons. Stress creates a metabolic havoc by reducing the total number of calories that you burn in a day, impairing blood sugar control, and affecting insulin, testosterone, and thyroid hormones and many other imbalances….

In short all these things are leading you to Lifestyle Disorders like Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension and many more diseases….

Coming to the most important aspect of this article….

Time for our next Anti aging food! Yes! Talking about wheatgrass today! 🍃☘️🌿💁
 • Wheatgrass juice is perhaps the healthiest food out there, and wheatgrass benefits run the gamut, from increased energy levels to improved overall health to head-to-toe beauty.
 • Wheatgrass boasts some impressive nutritional stats. It’s an excellent source of chlorophyll, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, and to top it all off wheatgrass contains 98 of 102 earth elements found in soil
 • The star of wheatgrass’ nutritional makeup is chlorophyll, it reverses aging Wheatgrass is made up of 70 percent chlorophyll — no wonder it’s so powerful.
 • Wheatgrass should always be consumed on an empty stomach, either in the morning after waking up or at night before sleeping. 
• The wheatgrass juice must be consumed fresh – within fifteen minutes of juicing for the best results. The juice should always be taken undiluted and on an empty stomach so the nutrients can be absorbed more efficiently. Powdered and freeze dried wheatgrass supplements are nowhere near as effective as fresh wheatgrass juice. 
• The amino acid chains and antioxidants in wheatgrass can help repair damaged DNA and reduce the effect of free radicals Damaged DNA can wreak havoc in your body, causing sterility, genetic abnormalities, and abnormal or quicker aging. 
• Including nutrient-dense foods like wheatgrass in your diet can help you wean off of unhealthy, nutritionally-devoid foods. By balancing your body’s pH and satisfying your nutritional needs — not to forget developing a healthy habit.

Putting up something to think over. Exercising is just 1 or 2 hours game in the gym but a good diet and lifestyle lasts for 24hrs of the day! It surely can’t be the last priority.
