Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have a couple of colleagues at work who have almost wrecked their lives with stress. One is a chronic worrier, and the other has abused himself with less sleep for a long time. Today I had a good chat over lunch time, and they said they understand more how dangerous this is and are committed that they are going to try to change it (one is going to start counselling next month and the other said he will try to reduce his hours in his second job (second shift). They will listen to me, and have already done so, but adding butter into their diet, and a few other dietary changes. They asked today what may they eat to offset some of the side-effects of the stress they have allowed into their lives so far, and experience in the meanwhile. I basically thought healthy fat may be helpful in deep stress but was not sure 100% that that is it. I also thought more oxygen may help (deep breathing). I also suggested taking a blood test from the MD/Clinic to see the levels of cortisol and adrenaline. Is that a useful measure of effort? Any thoughts would be appreciated, which I will convey to them. Regards & Thanks -Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
