Making active choices to take extra care both inside and out can make all the difference, and this doesn't have to mean big changes that takes up a lot of your time either, just small changes can help keep you feeling calm and in control. Eating Right Nutrition and diet play a strong role in our mood and our well being.

Our Nutrition packages are individually designed by resident Nutritionist Kim Pearson to ensure your diet is aiding you in dealing with and relieving stress, not exacerbating the problem. General advice is that someone with a healthy and well balanced diet is far less likely to have high stress levels. f These foods are rich in the vitamins and minerals which help to reduce stress levels: Asparagus: High in folate, asparagus can help you keep calm and lower your stress levels.
