FOODS THAT REDUCE STRESS
With deadlines, phone calls, meetings, family obligations, and piles of work looming, it's easy to quickly become stressed out at work or home. And that pent-up emotion can trigger a load of other health issues, so it's best to keep our stress levels in check. While we're inclined to choose a not-so-healthy snack to put our stress at ease, there's a better solution in the way of food. Just read on to find out which healthy foods www.fitsugar.com suggests can help conquer stress and boost your mood.
Almonds
Munch on almonds and other nuts as a healthy, stress-fighting snack. Nuts are loaded with vitamin E, which boosts immunity. A healthy immune system means you're less likely to fall victim to that cold that's making its way around the office, and a healthier you means a less stressed you, too.
Dark Chocolate
Too much indulgence is likely to keep you from your weight-loss goals, but a small portion of chocolate as a pick-me-up isn't such a bad idea. This sweet treat helps to boost serotonin levels, which plays a key role in dealing with stress. In a study conducted by Duke Medical Center, researchers found that lower levels of serotonin actually cause a more extreme reaction when the body encounters stress.
Oranges
Oranges deliver some serious vitamin C which, in addition to aiding the immune system, is now credited with reducing the physical and psychological effects of stress on the body.
