According to the study conclusions, these observational results suggest the importance of taking into consideration the potential long-term metabolic impact of work-related stress for women working in a demanding environment. The researchers also concluded that increased support for such women should be investigated in intervention studies. While the study only assessed mentally tiring work on the effects of women, it may have the same effects on men.
If you have a stressful job, there are a number of things you can do to find greater balance in your life and reduce the burden or workplace demands. Here are a few:
Breathe deeply or meditate
Meditation affects the flow of blood to the brain and alters brain activity to be more relaxed.
Supplement with the stress vitamins
B vitamins and Vitamin C are depleted during stress so it is important to supplement with B complex and vitamin C in order to fight stress and support immunity.
Say ‘no’
Trying to be a superhero by saying “yes” to everyone and every thing around you won’t help your stress levels. Learn to say “no” to social or other types of obligations that sap your strength.
Stop skipping meals
Skippping meals or going long time without food lower blood sugar which makes you feel more stressed-out, moody and irritable. Even a quick snack, particularly nuts or seeds can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Walk it off
Whenever you feel stressed it is better to go outside and walk in the fresh air as you can handle stress easily according to many health experts.
Get enough sleep
Sleep can help us rejuvenate and restore our capacity to deal with stress. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try using a high quality lavender essential oil in a carrier oil and rub onto your skin within an hour of bedtime to help you sleep.
If you have diabetes type 2 or you may have any risk factor for metabolic disease then it is time to start with diet and healthy lifestyle as this can improve your well being.
