Food
provides us with the building blocks we use to reconstruct our bodies during
the regeneration process. Cellular
tissue is constantly dying and regenerating. Nutrition whether good or bad
plays a significant role in the regeneration process. Nutrition can speed or
slow down the regeneration process, depending on the quality of the foods you
eat. When your body doesn’t receive the
“biological building blocks” – that is the nutrients it needs to keep pace with
cellular regeneration, it experiences nutritional
stress.
Stress
causes elevated cortisol levels which affects all other hormones. When the hormonal balance falters and
cortisol levels are high, it’s almost impossible to tone muscle and lose fat.
The reality
is that work, family and the other stressors in our lives are sometimes not
within our control. Fortunately, what we
choose to eat is.
Nutrition is
a good place to start to reduce stress.
