A FREE WEBINAR WITH NUTRITIONIST PILAR ESQUER
There are times like the present-day when telework, conciliation and confinement can involve extra energy demands and better emotional capacity. Recent studies into job and training centres show how some changes in diet improve people’s emotional balance by allowing them to better adapt to change and stressful periods.
On Thursday 14 May at 16:00h, nutritionist Pilar Esquer will share with us some pieces of advice to well manage stress, keep motivated, reduce aggressiveness and solve conflicts with food. This action forms part of the Cuita’t Espaitec Workshops series where health and well-being are at the forefront.
CONTROLLING STRESS WITH FOOD
The aim of this free webinar is to provide attendees with tools to control stress through daily meals by learning to lower anxiety levels and solve conflicts thanks to eating properly and healthy habits. Anyone interested in participating must register using this registration form before 13 May.
The 2-hour session will follow a practical participative methodology. Part one will last longer and be given by nutritionist Pilar Esquer, with whom attendees will discover basic concepts about food and its relation to mood, and will learn to design homemade menus to deactivate stress.
CONTROLLING STRESS BY BODY POSTURE
Physiotherapist Alba Alemán will be in charge of session part two, when we can learn exercise routines to undo muscular stress and to intensify our concentration. At the end of this webinar, attendees will have drawn up an anti-stress action plan they can later apply at their workplace.
These actions form part of Cuida’t Espaitec and are financed by the Regional Ministry of Innovation, Universities,Science and Digital Society of the Generalitat Valenciana. With this new open online format, the aim of these sessions is to contribute to improve society’s health by means of a series of actions to take care of our bodies and minds.
