Unwind with these Healthy Foods
Feeling a little stressed lately? What I’d like to share with you today is that I’ve learned over the years that the food you eat affects more than just your weight and fitness…
What you eat also has a big impact on your anxiety and stress levels. I’ve been surprised by just how much of an impact it can have, but once you do a little research and clear up your grocery list, you can totally relax with just a few simple food choices.
This list is based on a little food science as well as my own personal experiences plus the feedback from my clients, so you’re getting real practical information you can hopefully use to your benefit.
Ok, now let’s get down to business and get serious about food and stress…
Top 10 Foods to Fight Stress and Anxiety
Asparagus
This hearty and healthy vegetable makes for the perfect dinner side dish – and it can also boost your mood thanks to the high folate content. I like this one either steamed or roasted, and a bit of lemon juice goes really well.
Avocado
I’ve talked up avocados a lot lately because of their high protein and healthy fat content, but they’re high in a lot of other vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, that will totally ease your stressful days.
Blueberries
A classic superfood, blueberries contain a ton of antioxidants to boost health and help you fight stress. Some of those antioxidants have even been linked to better mental performance.
Cashews
All nuts offer health benefits of some kind, but thanks to their high zinc content, cashews are especially great for fighting anxiety and depression. Plus the healthy fats will boost brain function.
