Abstract
|
|
|
|
Stress consists of stressor and stress reaction. Repetitive stressors make human body sensitive - conditioning, and this affects personality and behavior. Conditioned reaction can be reversed by deconditoning process. I propose the dynamic integrative model for human health and diseases which integrates human body, mind, environment and the choices each individual can make. The Koreans are taking largely an appropriate nutrition except high salt intake, low calcium intake and excessive use of eating-outs. Stress affects nutrition and vice versa. Stress provokes various nutrition-related diseases, and poor nutrition decreases coping ability to stress. Nutritional support for stress includes maintenance of optimal nutrition, moderation of alcohol and caffeine intake, sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals. Sometimes dietary supplements can be of help.
