Most of us lead busy, hectic, stressful lives, and nurses are certainly no exception. Working shifts, having different hours day to day and going long stretches without a day off add to the stress—not to mention the job itself.
While most nurses certainly know how important a balanced diet is, doing the right thing can be a different story. Eating well takes some thought and a bit of planning, but think small and just begin. A good place to start: Set goals to increase fruit and vegetable intake, consume nonfat or low-fat dairy products and choose naturally low-fat foods. When you feed your body properly, you won’t be sick as often, you’ll have more energy and you’ll feel less stressed because a healthy diet can be checked off your “to-do” list.
