April is Stress Awareness Month – the idea is to help us identify the causes, and get to know the cures, for the stressors in our modern society. We often overlook the role of nutrition, but eating the right nutrients to replenish our energy and vitamin stores may also help to reduce the impact of stress.

Stress has been described as a modern-day epidemic and it’s something that most of us will suffer from at some point in our lives. Don’t worry though, there are things you can to reduce stress through your diet.
Taking the time to eat more mindfully can help us to appreciate our meals more and slow down. It can also help us to value our mealtimes and give us time to recharge.
