Many ailments these days are said to be caused by the stress of modern living. So here’s an easy and natural way to beat stress: drink 200 ml of lime juice or milk or eat a banana daily for three months. This simple diet is said to bring occupational stress levels down by 40 per cent and boost iron content, especially in women, according to a study. Nutritionists R. Usharani and U.K. Lakshmi from the department of food science and nutrition, Avinashlingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore, in their presentation at the city-based National Institute of Nutrition, claimed that a person with occupational stress index score of 230, could reduce the score by 99.9 points by drinking 200 ml of lime juice daily.
The score will come down by 73 points if the person takes 200 ml of milk daily, and will be down by 98 points if she eats a banana a day. The researchers selected four groups of women employed in an industry, whose occupational stress index was measured at 230. The group that had the lime juice gained the maximum benefit, followed by those who ate banana. Those who consumed milk daily too successfully lowered their stress levels, but to a lesser extent. This diet was given to the groups for 90 days and at the end, those who did not consume any of these three foods were found to have elevated stress levels. For those who were on the diet, their haemoglobin content increased.
“Haemoglobin levels of all the groups that had taken milk, lime juice or banana, had increased. In case of lime juice, the increase in iron content in the blood was 1.3 grams per decilitre. The figures for those who had milk and banana were one gram and 1.1 gram per decilitre respectively. Those who did not have any of these foods showed a significant reduction in their haemoglobin levels,” the team said.Many ailments these days are said to be caused by the stress of modern living.
