Stress encourages release of cortisol, adrenaline. Stress also decreases ability to fight illness.
Today's dietary consumption for some is light on home cooking ( where one can control what goes into what you are eating) and heavily on take-out/take away foods, high in sodium, additives as well as empty carbs and sugars.
Pre-McDonalds was an era of slow home cooked meals made from scratch. No frozen dinners, mothers were stay at home, didnt have to go to work out of necessecity to make ends meet.
With the changing times, people change.
Your very right Tanya, sadly so
You try to protect your family from convenience foods but it's ingrained into everything, TV, billboards, peers, sometimes it's just too hard.
