Stress is poison to your body. Its a toxin. It can come from physical, emotional, and nutritional things. Our bodies are amazing complex units that when we give them the best and moderation, can amaze us.
Think of nutritional stress as anything that is over and above moderation and variety. There are vitamins, minerals, and nutrients needed in our bodies. Because many of them only work in a synergy with others, nutritional stress like limiting your intake to only carbs, only protein, only liquid, etc can in turn cause weight gain, weight loss, inability to fight disease etc.
Our bodies were made to move. Our bodies were made to eat a variety of nuts, berries, veggies, lean meats etc and we were active. Nowadays everyone is stationary, sedentary, and eating out of a box. This is where nutritional stress comes from. Moderation and variety of healthy foods is what is needed to avoid nutritional stress. Nutritional stress can wreak havoc on your liver (the detoxer), your kidneys, your stomach and intestines etc. Go back to the basics and healthy moderation. Raw/steamed fruits & veggies, lean meats and variety with smaller portions more often and with a side of exercise fends off nutritional stress, emotional stress and will give anyone a better overall well being.
