Food Stessors
Stress is inevitable. However, there are ways to minimize its grip on your life, starting with your diet. What you consume becomes you and so if the food is lifeless then it will carry a low frequency signature. If the food you consume is full of life and vitality such as whole foods then it will carry a high frequency and thus will raise your overall frequency. In this article we discuss the effects of low frequency foods and the stress they put on the body.
Most of us recognize that certain foods have brutal effects on the brain-for productivity, mood and mental energy. Too much chocolate can leave you dragging after the sugar and caffeine jolts fade away. An overdose of salty chips dehydrates the body and the brain, bringing on fatigue. High fat meals raise stress hormone levels and keep them high.
The problem is that these are precisely the foods we reach for at exactly the wrong times, as they exacerbate tension from work and daily life just when we seek relief.
We already know that stress hormones like cortisol actually rob the body of vitamins, hijacking them to support such classic stress responses as the tensing of muscles and the rise of blood pressure, reactions fundamental to the fight-or-flight response.
Thus at times when we're experiencing the nervous-system workout of anxiety, we are in special need of B vitamins, which help maintain our nerves and brain cells. B vitamins also used up in converting food into energy for the body.
It's double whammy for the body if calories consumed during stressful times don't come from nutritious foods, as they'll then be depleted even more quickly. Even a slight vitamin B deficiency-say, from a few days of overloading on chips and soda-upsets the nervous system and compounds stress, according to Elizabeth Somer, R.D., a nutritionist in Salem, Oregon.
A better bet at trying times: bananas, baked potatoes, avocados, and dark green leafy veggies. All are loaded with B vitamins.
Extreme stress can create even more nutritional havoc. The "fight or flight" effect on our bodies is drastic. Some 1400 chemical changes occur as stress hormones sap the body of important nutrients, such as those B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin A and the mineral magnesium.
The hormones released in response to stress can cause carbohydrate cravings by lowering levels of serotonin, the calming hormone. Increasing carbohydrate intake can strengthen tolerance to stress by boosting levels of serotonin and it can also cause weight gain and overeating, particularly of sugary foods.
When the pressure is on, it's difficult not to turn to junk food for solace. But sticking to highly nutritious whole foods and staying away from the following food list will be its own reward.

A lifetime of consuming these stressful, low vibrational foods can manifest into disease stressors such as depression, fibromyalgia, arthritis, anxiety, diabetes and so many others. Through the use of frequency signatures in a service called Quantum Biofeedback we can train the body to release these stressors so it can heal itself. The body can bring itself back to a state of homeostatis through frequency training and a proper diet. Do visit the Quantum Biofeedback services in the menu to learn more!
