Stressée par la rentrée ? 4 aliments réconfortants… à éviter absolument !

Trop sucrés, trop gras ou trop salés : tels sont les défauts communs aux aliments sur lesquels on a tendance à se jeter en période de stress ou après une mauvaise journée. Mais il en est de plus redoutables que d’autres, à éviter absolument en cas de stress. On vous dit lesquels.

LE PAQUET DE CHIPS

Face au paquet de chips (même petit), des clignotants devraient s’allumer dans votre cerveau : ce ne sont pas seulement des calories que vous allez avaler mais du sel et des acides gras trans industriels, c’est-à-dire provenant de l’hydrogénation partielle des matières grasses végétales. Or l’Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (Anses) rappelle que la consommation de plus de 2 % de l’apport énergétique total sous forme d’acides gras trans est associée à une augmentation du mauvais cholestérol (LDL) et à une diminution du bon (HDL).

En cas de besoin impérieux de grignoter : préférez les chips aux légumes (carotte, panais, betterave…). Elles sont souvent un peu moins caloriques (450 Cal/100 g en moyenne) et moins salées.

LE CAPUCCINO

Oui, c’est vrai, en cas de stress, la caféine est un véritable booster de notre humeur car elle stimule l’activité de la dopamine (un neurotransmetteur) dans le cerveau, nous évitant de sombrer dans la déprime. Le cappuccino est fait de lait cuit à la vapeur (jusqu’à ce qu’il mousse), de café, de sucre et de lait chaud. Sans oublier la petite touche finale de cacao. Une tasse de cette boisson va, certes, vous apporter le réconfort espéré en cas de stress, mais va également faire grimper le compteur des calories.

En cas de besoin d’une boisson réconfortante : préparez-vous plutôt un smoothie au café en mixant votre café avec du lait de soja (les folates qu’il contient vont faire grimper votre taux de sérotonine, l’hormone qui régule le stress) et quelques rondelles de banane(riche en potassium, qui va faire baisser votre tension).

LA CRÈME GLACÉE

Vous conservez un pot de glace dans le congélateur en prévision des journées de stress ? Très mauvaise idée. Voilà comment ça se passe : le lactose de votre crème glacée va sensibiliser votre intestin, déjà mis à mal par le stress, et le sucre va faire grimper le taux de sucre dans le sang. Cette hyperglycémie n’a pas de conséquence grave si vous n’êtes pas diabétique mais elle déclenche un stockage des triglycérides dans le tissu adipeux. Et comme “le sucre appelle le sucre”, vous allez avoir envie à nouveau d’aliments au goût sucré.

En cas de besoin d’onctuosité : optez pour un yaourt grec allégé, pauvre en matières grasses. C’est une source de protéines et de calcium, dont votre corps a besoin pour libérer les neurotransmetteurs du bien-être. Ajoutez quelques fruits rougespour un apport d’antioxydants anti-stress.

LE SODA LIGHT

On le sait, une canette de soda est l’équivalent de 10 morceaux de sucre. Mais ouvrir une canette de soda light pour vous rebooster n’est pas une bonne idée non plus. En effet, une étude récente a montré que les édulcorants perturbaient la capacité du corps à réguler sa glycémie en empêchant le bon fonctionnement du microbiote intestinal, la population de bactéries qui se trouve dans le système digestif. Or, toutes ces perturbations augmenteraient le risque de diabète de type 2.

Si vous avez envie d’une boisson : rien de tel que le thé vert. La L-theanine , l’acide aminé qui se trouve dans le thé, est connu pour apporter le calme et la sérénité. Si vous êtes sujette au stress, vous devriez en boire au moins 3 tasses par jour, histoire de protéger votre cœur.

  1. Thank you for posting this awesome article. I’m a long time reader but I’ve never been compelled to leave a comment. I subscribed to your blog and shared this on my Twitter. Thanks again for a great article!

  2. I and my buddies were actually looking at the nice tricks from your web page and so unexpectedly I had a terrible suspicion I never thanked the web blog owner for them. The young men became so joyful to read through them and have in effect surely been using them. Appreciation for getting well kind as well as for deciding upon this sort of good information most people are really needing to understand about. My honest regret for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.

  3. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  4. I have to express my appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this trouble. After exploring throughout the world-wide-web and coming across principles that were not beneficial, I believed my entire life was done. Being alive devoid of the approaches to the problems you have solved as a result of the guideline is a serious case, as well as the ones which could have badly damaged my career if I had not discovered your blog post. That skills and kindness in dealing with all areas was very helpful. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come upon such a stuff like this. It’s possible to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot so much for this skilled and sensible help. I will not hesitate to endorse your site to anybody who wants and needs assistance about this matter.

  5. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  6. Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  7. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  9. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  10. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  12. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
