7 resolutions for healthier eating to manage teacher stress

A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.  ~Aldous Huxley

How true!  What you eat and when you eat it can have a tremendous effect on how you feel and how you are able to manage stress.  As teachers our time that we can eat is often dictated by our schedule, but that should not stop you from putting some very simple steps into place to maintain energy and patience throughout the school day.

Here are some simple tips you can put into place in order to eat healthier and feel better offered by friend and Registered Dietitian,  Nicole Cormier, RD, LDN:

1.  Have less than 12 grams of added sugar per day.

2. Drink more than 64 oz. of water per day.

3. Eat more than 5 full cups of vegetables and fruits per day.

4.  Eat a lean protein at most of your meals.

5.  Move at least 30 minutes per day.

6.  Keep a food journal.

7.  Portion out your proteins at least once a week.
