Nutrition and Stress - 5 Foods That Help Reduce Stress;
1. Salmon.
- High levels of the fats DHA and EPA in salmon have been shown to reduce anxiety and dampen down the effect that stress has on our emotions.
2. Pistachios.
- These don’t technically reduce stress levels, but they do reduce the impact it has on your body. People doing stressful tasks after eating pistachios suffer less intense spikes in blood pressure.
3. Red & Green Peppers.
- An excellent source of vitamin C. Research by German doctors discovered that when vitamin C levels in the body are high, we calm down from stress faster.
4. Oats.
- Herbalists have used oat extract for years as a calming remedy as they seem to act directly on the nervous system, making us less agitated. Oats also keep blood sugar stable - stress hits us harder if blood sugar is low.
5. Turkey.
- This is the best source of the calming neurotransmitter ‘tryptophan’, which then turns into the happiness hormone serotonin. Everything seems a bit easier to bear when serotonin levels are high.
