Do you have a julienne peeler? Works fine too. Used that in the beginning and then bought the hand spiralizer. This post on my website might interest you ;) https://eatlove.live/spiralized-vegetables/
For stress... meditation, starting our own company, and moving away from Europe has helped a lot. I am a bit of a chameleon and adapt everywhere, but my husband was stressed living in Belgium and all its rules. Cambodia is a simplified life. We work from home, go exercise (also great stress buster) and meditate.
And diet of course...helps a little with stress too.
Take care ;)
