I suffered so much stress from work during the previous year. I was assigned to a job that has a lot of responsibility and work to do. I did not do me good because I often find myself working long hours after work. Although that work paid me well, it was so stressful. I started suffering high blood and bouts of headache. Sometimes I could not report to work and just decide to take the day off. Stress really bit me off work and it does not do well to my health. I think the extra compensation that I get after work would probably be spent for my treatment.
Stress is one thing that I have to manage because it affects health so much. There is so much stress from doing work, and this is often overlooked at the workplace. Probably employees are often expected to be efficient, but the downside of being too efficient is suffering stress-related diseases.
Time management can help, but there are some jobs that are loaded with too much responsibility. I got into one of those jobs and it was quite a challenge. I managed to do my job well, but it affected my health so much. I’m still struggling to create a balance between the my job and my health, so that I do not get to overwhelmed.
Fibers help me maintain a good bowel movement each day. It prevents me from suffering ailments related to bowel movement like diarrhea, constipation and stomach ache. I believe that having normal bowels prevent me from getting sick – the human waste is often laden with bacteria that can easily make a person sick.
There are various foods that are made to provide fibers and I always include these in my diet. Some fiber rich foods that I like are oatmeal, cassava and whole wheat bread, which are also often used in body detoxification processes. Enough fiber consumed daily keeps me healthy and feeling better and avoids sickness too.
I take care of my health by making sure that I eat the healthy foods from all the major food groups each day. Exercise is also very important because the physical activity helps keep me from getting fat. Too much from one food group – especially from the “go” food group can keep me feeling lazy and lethargic during the day. I think this is why some diets are designed to reduce carbohydrate or fat intake. A balanced diet from these major food groups keeps up and running during the day coupled with the right exercise regimen that I get each day.
