People who are experiencing unusually high levels of stress may benefit from specific dietary guidelines. They are as follows:

It is well known that during times of chemical, emotional, psychological, or physiological stress, the urinary excretion of vitamin C is increased, signifying an increased need for vitamin C during these times. I would suggest that you try and increase your dietary intake of vitamin C-rich foods, such as green or red peppers, oranges, grapefruit juice, broccoli, OJ, to name a few.
It is also important to try and keep your blood sugar levels as balanced as possible. As suggested above, try and keep highly refined foods to a minimum and make sure you are drinking enough water….at least 64 ounces/day.
