That the management of the Covid-19 pandemic has definitely left us
dissatisfied at a social level is a well-established fact. After two years and with the state
of emergency revoked we are returning to a much hoped-for daily normality. From
a few months now, the news that comes to us from the world is not anyway
comforting. The war in Ukraine brings with it additional concerns to which not
we were prepared, the geographical proximity of the place of confrontation allows us to perceive it
in a much more present way than in other conflicts. Who, already in times of pandemic
and lockdown found it difficult to manage stress, he finds himself more or less in the
same situation now, failing to see an end to this uncomfortable situation
physiological. A state of anxiety and anguish are fully reflected in one
situation of this kind, in which we can find information about it in every
moment and in real time.
It's not the best time to embark on a diet for the most fragile subjects
We must consider that the conditions of mental distress can to compromise
any paths taken. Following a dietary pattern requires
concentration and willpower, things that can fail if we run into
a moment of psychological fragility. Let's face it, this could don't be the
best moment to undertake a diet for those more fragile subjects who
are more affected by external events.
Even on a nutritional level we are "bombarded" with information where we can read
everything and the opposite of everything, where anyone can have their say even without
competencies in this regard.
In this particular historical moment they could come to the rescue some types
of food called “comfort food”, or foods that they condition in a way
positive or that put us at ease, console us. To each his own, in the sense
that comfort foods are not found in a specific category of molecules, not
they are necessarily proteins or sweets, but they are those foods to which we attribute a
consolatory meaning, a nostalgic memory, so it depends on us the choice and
the attribution of a “protective” meaning.
Eating things that give us satisfaction can help us find emotional stability and let's not forget the benefits of herbal medicine
On a physiological level it is easy to find a more immediate response in carbohydrates e
in simple sugars, which contribute to theabsorption of tryptophano,
the amino acid precursor of serotonin, what everyone knows as
happiness molecule. Find a carbohydrate meal in the evening allow
therefore to help our brain find better emotional stability, to sleep
meglio, to digest better, since carbohydrates are lighter than fat and
protein. Even the "sgarro" with the little piece of chocolate could be forgiven
in this moment of fragility.
We have said that following a diet in a period of particular stress could
be counterproductive, so we might consider doing a
stop period. We should manage the "control" of hunger in another way,
indulging her. However, we must also consider that indulging the sense of hunger
for too long it could make us "leave" and then we would have to pay the price
on the balance. The important thing is to accept this condition and set ourselves goals
order to regain control of the situation as quickly as possible. Would be
however, it is advisable to try not to abandon the insured energy expenditure
dallmotor activity, which turns out to be an oGreat way to manage stress. For who
had never tried, meditation could also help. Subjects affected by
spastic colitis, find several benefits on their condition with i courses of
mindfulness or meditation, which allows them to remove the primary condition
of their intestinal disorder, precisely stress.
Also the herbal medicine can help us in times of stress and anxiety. Get one
herbal tea, also two vols a day, of linden, lemon balm, griffonia, both as ingredients
mixed and single according to taste, it can meet our needs.
Also valerian and chamomile can correct some anxious states, the lavender is a
excellent remedy when used in oressential oil in the water
of the humidifier to be attached to the radiators in winter. In addition to propagating an excellent
smell will also give relief, but be careful not to overdo it. For the most demanding
we find remedies also in the withania and rhodiola, two adaptogenic plants ma
byexcellent calming power.
