Do women react to stress Do women react to stress differently than men?differently than men?

One recent survey found that women were more likely to experience physical symptoms of stress than men.

We do know that women often cope with stress in different ways than men. ◦Women “tend and befriend,” taking care of

those closest to them, but also drawing support from friends and family.

◦Men are more likely to have the “fight or flight” response. They cope by “escaping” into a relaxing activity or other distraction.

stress hormones.These hormones make blood pressure,

heart rate, and blood sugar levels go up. Long-term stress can help cause a variety of health problems, including:◦ Mental health disorders, like depression and

Nutrition, Fitness Nutrition, Fitness and Weightand Weight

Bad: One in four

Americans eats fast

food at least once a day.

Nutrition, Fitness and Nutrition, Fitness and WeightWeight

BAD: Most cereals made for kids contain more calories, sugar and

salt and less fiber and protein than other cereals. Most kids' cereals don't meet national school nutrition standards.



Good: Eat according to the colors of the

rainbow. The more colors to your food --

such as the reds, oranges, yellows,

greens and even blues of fruits and vegetables -- the more important nutrients you'll get.



Good: Your brain depends on your stomach to signal

that it's full, but that message takes 20 minutes

to be delivered. So slow down during meals, and you'll be less likely to eat

too much.



Bad: If you eat even 100 calories more a day than you burn by being active, that "energy gap" could add 10 pounds a year.

How much is 100 calories? Half a glazed doughnut.



Good: Almost every day kids should have at least

an hour of what the experts call moderate-

intensity physical activity such as walking

the dog (not slowly), riding your bike or

dancing to your favorite songs.



Good: You usually feel happier after

playing or exercising because of special chemicals called endorphins

that your brain releases while you're moving.

Endorphins are a natural mood-

booster!



Really bad: Fewer than 1 in 25 elementary schools and fewer than

1 in 13 middle schools in this country provide daily P.E. classes for all students. And many elementary

schools have cut out recess. Friday, April 21, 2023

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/20/AR2008052001629.html


Do better: States in New England and out west

have the most physically active residents;

southern states have the most couch potatoes. When the federal

government measured this last year, Virginians

were slightly more on the move than Marylanders.



Bad: One in three American kids and teens is

overweight or heavy enough to be considered

obese.
