You may have symptoms of stress that you don’t even realize are tension-related. Forbes clued us into 12 surprising symptoms of stress, and what you can do to help overcome them. 1. Irritable bowel syndrome: Let’s get the most uncomfortable stress-related ailment out of the way. Your brain is connected to your colon through nerves. So when you’re stressed, you may have cramps, constipation, or diarrhea. Try to exercise every day. It will burn energy and help keep your sleep patterns and bowel movements regular. You can also try adding more fiber to your daily diet. 2. Frequent colds: Being stressed weakens your immune system, so you probably ...

What was a dream for more years has become reality during the past months: My underweight has disappeared, I now have a healthy amount of kilogrammes. This is so good.I do not want to give advice to people here, but I know there are (some/many) people with autism dealing with underweight too. I only can tell you that my life feels much much better with those extra kilogrammes. It feels I can stand more, not 'easy to break' anymore. For me the support of a (paid by insurance) dietrician has been very useful so far. She notices things I did not not know or of which I was not aware of.Take steps. Start today. You do your body no good by giving it less then it deserves. I noticed important mood improvements after having eaten more and mo...

There is no free lunch.  How do you know how much artificial sweetener and sugar alcohol  your body tolerate?  Could this be why you can’t lose weight, are n...

I seemed to have put on almost a whole dress size over the winter. That wasn’t the part that bothered me the most though; I was more upset with how I talked to myself and how angry with myself I was. That got me to thinking that I should treat myself better. I’ve been through a lot. Actually, I have been trying to treat myself well lately. I have done all of the necessary tune-ups like seeing the dentist and the eye doctor as well as ensuring that I am eating enough fruits and vegetables, all though obviously too much.  I guess the one thing that is lacking in my relationship with myself is respect and I really deserve it. After all, I got mysel... Life with Breast Cancer blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2299183 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:07:57 +0100 2299183
