Are you sick and tired of popping in those anti-stress tablets with annoying smells into your mouth? Yeah, me too. But before you begin to worry too much, read this article to the end. I've put together some stress-relieving food for you.
You can now
say your last goodbye to anti-stress medications thanks to the nutrients'
composition of these stress-relieving foods. Ready? Alright! Let's get down to
business.
Salmon
Additionally,
Salmon is rich in vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin that tackles depression. Try
adding salmon to your diet instead of those awful pills and watch your stress
level reduces drastically.
Tea
Just the mere
thought of a cup of hot tea on one of those hectic days sounds smoothing. Isn't
it? So what if you get to bring the
thought into the present? According to a Japanese study, a daily intake of 5
cups of green tea reduces stress level 20%.
Whatever your
preference is, a black tea, a green tea or chamomile, have a great tea time for
yourself.
Green
leafy veggies
Feeling
stressed after a long day at work? No pressure there. Grab a handful of kale,
spinach, collard greens, mustard greens and any green veggies you can think of.
So what's the secret?
These green
leafy are rich in folate. Folate helps your body to manufacture
neurotransmitters that play a key role in mood regulations.
Yoghurt
It won't hurt
to take a considerable amount of yoghurt daily. This fermented food goes a long
way in battling with stress level in the body.
It contains Lactobacillus
rhamnosus, a probiotic which lowers the stress-inducing hormone in the body.
Turkey
Okay, I know
what you are thinking. Turkey skin contains much fat, and you just don't want
to mess around with fatty foods. But if you're having a hard time with stress, you'd
better jump on this stress relieving food.
Why? Turkey has
a significant amount of L-tryptophan which is converted to serotonin in the body.
Serotonin is a good mood-regulating hormone.
Eggs
Perhaps unsurprisingly,
eggs are so packed with several minerals, antioxidants, vitamins and amino
acids. All of these nutrients can successfully help you fight against stress. But
that's not where we are going to.
Surprisingly
enough, eggs are rich in choline which is a stress-relieving compound.
Blueberries

There are several
health benefits linked to blueberries and one of them is the neuroprotective effect
they have on the body.
Here's the
catch. Blueberries contain flavonoid antioxidants in a high quantity. What
these antioxidants do is to protect your body cells from stress-related cellular
damage. They also combat inflammations associated with stress.
