So welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition. Today we're talking about stress. We're going to maybe introduce you to a new way of thinking about stress. You know, when I said stress, what did you think? Did you think about bad stress? Or did you think about unhealthy stress? What kind of stress did you think about? There are many

types of stress and believe it or not, Sam's stress is actually positive. Positive stress.

That may be a new concept. For me, negative stress would be eating a caramel roll, you know,

that caramel cinnamon roll that I haven't had forever.

But, you know, if I had that for breakfast, that would put a lot of stress on me because it would affect my blood sugar.

dietitian. She's a wife and a mother of a nine-month-old,

and I thought it was six. Ten months, okay. Oh, I can't keep up. That's all right.

You know, another thing we want you to think about is, you know, where does your stress come from?

So let's talk a little bit more about that.

Well, good morning, Dar, good morning to all of our listeners out there near and far. It's great to be here with everyone, wherever it is in the world

that you're listening to us. And so speaking of stress, Dar did a great job introducing that

topic. But let me ask you this. As you're listening to this podcast,

how many of you are actually trying to multitask at the same time? Are you listening to our voices

and also trying to get your meal prep in? Are you trying to clean the house? Get the laundry done.
