Staying Healthy in the High Stress Job
By Laura Brown
• Drink plenty of water and make sure you take in enough salt - dehydration contributes to problems from aching joints to high blood pressure. Most of us don't drink enough water to stay hydrated and with today's low-salt diets, we sometimes forget salt is absolutely needed by the body to function properly.
• Slow down! In Grayton Beach, Florida, a favorite vacation spot, there's a sign at the end of the road that reads "Slow down - you've arrived!". You've arrived - you got the job - sometimes the best way to keep it is to pace yourself.
Laura Brown received training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. When she graduates, she will be AADP certified and will have a certificate from
Teachers College, Columbia University.
While most dietitians dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, Laura works with clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.
