Without changing the diet drastically at this point (which may cause more stress), try to reduce or avoid foods that will negatively affect mood, energy and nutrient level and behaviour, such as:

  •

    Refined and processed foods
  • Fast foods
  • High fat and fried foods
  • High dairy
  • Sugar and refined carbohydrate meals
  • Alcohol and caffeine
  • It is particularly important to increase the ration of potassium to sodium rich foods, i.e. increase the fruit and vegetable content of the diet, whilst reducing foods with added sodium. This has the effect of increased support for the adrenal glands.
  • Try to eat regularly in a relaxed environment. Chew food slowly, avoid overeating and eating whilst working.
  • Avoid skipping meals
  • Drink more water. This is very important
  • Try to eat a wide variety of foods
  • Avoid allergenic foods
