Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper illustrating the detrimental effects of sugar and caffeine in times of stress. Good nutrition and a balanced diet over time contribute to the reduction of the effects of stress on the body. Nutrient supplies are greater and are available to meet the increased demand placed on them by the body’s reaction to stress, and blood sugar levels are more even, allowing the individual to maintain clearer thinking than when battling the effects of wildly fluctuating blood sugar levels. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
"everyone" knows that the vitamins and minerals contained in the food they eat provide the building blocks for all of the various types of molecules used in food metabolism body
processes, and that carbohydrates provide the energy that drives those processes. The body is not overly demanding to the point that it overtly will refuse to function. Rather,
it functions at an ever-decreasing level of efficiency when it does not receive what it needs to function at optimal levels. Stress can cause some of the same effects,
as well as causing others unique to it. Combined, poor nutrition and stress can work together to create a wealth of problems for the individual unwilling to address either
condition. Stress and Nutrition Stress results in an acceleration of many processes: heart rate increases, blood vessels can constrict to increase the
individuals flow of blood. This increases blood pressure, of course, placing additional physical stress on the blood vessels themselves. This is the mechanism by which the "fight or
flight" response operates, placing the body on alert that it may be called on to do one or the other very shortly. In
this heightened state of awareness and physical alertness, physiological processes speed up as well. The body uses more of the building blocks of processes and compounds in this state
that it does when the body - and the mind - are in a relaxed state. Stress is particularly greedy for B vitamins, "which affect the nervous system, and
calcium, which is needed to counteract the lactic acid your tense muscles produce. Likewise, if you are lacking nutrients, your body will not be equipped to handle stress effectively" (Diet,
