Something to think about

For the last few weeks, I have researched and written on stress factors and ways to improve resiliency to update my book Empty Plate. My coauthor Kathleen Bell and I wrote Empty Plate: food, sustainability, mindfulness in 2020, during the height of COVID-19, an incredibly stressful time for the world.

There are many conversations about stress and its harmfulness, but little about its benefits in our daily lives. For resilience that supports us through the uncertainties of life, we need more eustress (good stress) than distress (bad stress). Researchers have learned more about what happens during sleep and its role in building sustainable resilience during the last decade. I find it interesting that Maslow's Hierarchy, formulated in 1943, still clearly illustrates the value—in fact, a must-have foundational element of—my passion: Nourishment through food, water and sleep.

“Food security is not just about food production, but rather political, economic, and social stability. It is about people and their most basic need: access to food.” – José Graziano da Silva

I reflect on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs and the perceived stressors of the second tier of importance—safety, maintenance of health, and equity. When these elements are sources of daily struggle, the ability to experience the nourishment elements of the foundational level is greatly compromised. When individuals experience more distress in their lives, their sleep quality, digestive microbiota, ability to absorb nutrients, and brain chemistry are all impacted, increasing all-cause mortality risks. Recent science has even shed light on a specialized "cleaning system" where cerebrospinal fluid is pumped through the brain to carry away toxic compounds that accumulate during wakefulness - while we sleep.

When a population subsists on marginal nourishment from ultra-refined foods, a cascade of health challenges, including heightened anxiety, memory loss and sleep deprivation, are greater. Food inequity is rampant in America, not because we do not have enough food, but because those in greatest need are the least likely to have access. When a body is well fed, it can rest in comfort.

“By helping us keep the world in perspective, sleep gives us a chance to refocus on the essence of who we are. And in that place of connection, it is easier for the fears and concerns of the world to drop away.”
– Arianna Huffington Author, Influencer and CEO
