STRESS ADVERSELY AFFECTS OUR BODY, MIND, AND EMOTIONS! It is a well known fact that excess emotionalism results in inordinate stress on the individual.

These nutrient-sparse, toxic foods throw the body into a state of undue stress as it attempts to deal with the overload. The yummy recipes here are "user friendly" and call for low-stress foods only.
