“You are what you eat” is a popular saying that contains deep truth.
You need to eat many types of food to meet your body's needs.
No one can say that one dish will give him all the nutritional value he needs.
Almost all famous nutritionists also say: "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are." So today we will look at a diet that will help you with stress.
Green tea
Green tea will lift your mood. This is not a joke. A Japanese study of more than 40,000 people of all ages, genders, BMIs, medical histories, and with different approaches to alcohol and smoking found that people who consumed at least 5 cups of green tea a day experienced 20% less stress than others.
Whole grains
Whole grains increase levels of calming serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses. There are countless types to choose from, such as oatmeal, quinoa, wild rice, etc.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are rich in selenium and are also the only vegan source of natural vitamin D, a key nutrient that fights depression and lifts mood.
Dark chocolate
A recent study confirmed that eating a few pieces of dark chocolate a day for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones.
It contains magnesium, which relieves PMS symptoms such as cramps, depression, irritability, fatigue, etc.
In particular, the antioxidants it contains improve blood circulation, so that every cell in your body receives a higher release of oxygen and nutrients.
Ginger
Ginger contains antioxidants that fight harmful substances in our body. This leads to mental and physical stress, including headaches.
Ginger can also help with motion sickness, difficulty breathing, stomach irritation, and menstrual pain.
Avocado
Avocados are especially rich in potassium, containing twice as much as bananas. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that they are high in fat.
Spinach
Magnesium deficiency can lead to fatigue, irritability, stress, and upset stomach. Spinach is an excellent source of this element. Other important sources are salmon, soybeans, walnuts, etc.
Oranges
Probably everyone knows that oranges are famous for their high content of vitamin C, which not only strengthens our immune system but also reduces the level of the stress hormone cortisol. Other sources rich in this vitamin are cranberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Omega-3 fatty acids: If you consume enough of these healthy fats, they can help you balance stress hormones and mood swings. For example, eat fatty fish twice a week or add flaxseed to your salads.
Eating healthy will help you relieve stress and maintain a good mood and health.
