Dealing with Stress

Stress. It’s a natural, unavoidable part of life, and how we deal with it affects everything else we do. Some people thrive on it; others become overwhelmed.

Everyone actually handles stress differently and finds different outlets to relieve their stress — sometimes in ways that make it worse. So, knowing what’s causing you stress and learning some positive ways you can manage it will help you maintain better balance in your life. For example, a nutritious diet helps keep your body strong, and BOOST products can provide the nutrition you need.

Managing Your Stress

There’s no need to feel stressed about handling your stress. In fact, there are plenty of things you can do each day to help keep stress under control and in perspective. And should a stressful situation develop suddenly, you’ll be better equipped to handle it more effectively. Before stress gets the better of you, here are a few things you can do to make a better you:

A balanced diet with proper nutrition gives you a better defense against stress by keeping your body healthy and strong. BOOST nutritional energy drinks can play a big part in maintaining a healthy diet. Eat healthy. Alcohol, caffeine, sugar, fats and tobacco all put a strain on your body’s ability to cope with stress. And, avoid eating to relieve stress. Learn to balance your personal, work and family needs and obligations. Use relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or massage. Get plenty of exercise. Physical activity is one of the most effective stress remedies you’ll find. Improve your time management skills. Learn to prioritize your time, manage your commitments, and deal with procrastination by proper scheduling. And don’t forget to schedule some time for yourself, too! Get enough rest and sleep. Talk with friends, professional counselors, support groups or relatives about what is bothering you. Participate in a hobby or other leisure activities that you enjoy. Helping others through volunteer work can be an effective and satisfying stress reducer. Get away from it all. Read a book, watch a movie, play a game, listen to music or go on vacation. Have some fun! Laugh and be with people you enjoy.

BOOST Nutritional Drink and the sodium-reduced diet.

Following a low-sodium diet can help to control high blood pressure (hypertension), swelling, and water build-up (edema). The recommended upper limit of salt intake for most people each day is 2,400 milligrams (mg). The average American diet contains over 3,000 mg sodium daily. If you have prehypertension or high blood pressure, it is generally recommended to reduce the amount of salt you eat to around 1,500 mg daily. To put amounts into perspective 1,500 mg of sodium equals about 2/3 teaspoon of table salt. Consult your physician about your blood pressure levels and the importance of a sodium-reduced diet.

BOOST Nutritional Drink may be included as a part of a heart-healthy diet plan. Use label information on food packages to help you to make low-sodium selections. BOOST has 130 mg of sodium (salt) or 5% of the recommended daily value for a 2,000 calorie diet per 8 fl oz drink.
