Of course, everyone has heard about chocolate, but not the same chocolate! I offer you a list of 7 products that are not only useful (almost everything), but also help to fight stress.
Bananas are rich in potassium, which regulates blood pressure. In addition, they help to get rid of heartburn and maintain normal blood sugar levels.
As you know, oily sea fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help fight stress. Thanks to these same acids, your brain reacts faster to tasks, improves memory and concentration. A large amount of omega-3 fatty acids also contain flax seeds, but salmon tastes better, agree.
Broccoli is rich in folic acid, which helps fight stress and reduces irritability. Quite a large amount of folic acid is found in orange juice and asparagus. So if you put out broccoli and asparagus for breakfast and add fresh orange juice to this breakfast, you will be in a good mood. And we also remember that orange juice is rich in vitamin C, which helps fight colds. And on my own, I would add sea buckthorn and viburnum to this list. Maybe they will not raise the mood, but they cope with a cold perfectly! Tested on yourself.
Yes, it can not be attributed to the list of useful products, but in the fight against stress, it really helps a lot. When you consume sugar, your body produces special hormones-stress counters — glucocorticoids. If you do not work hard, then you can indulge yourself with sweets from time to time! And you will get rid of stress, and you will not damage your figure.
During stress, cortisol is released in the body. Studies by English scientists have shown that people who consumed 4 cups of tea a day for 6 weeks, the level of stress hormone was much lower than those who were not particularly fond of tea. In addition, we all remember that black tea contains caffeine, which increases productivity and improves mood. If coffee gives only a short-term effect of vivacity, then tea acts much longer and softer.
If you eat foods containing complex carbohydrates and whole grains (cereals, sprouted grains, etc.), then the bad mood of others should absolutely not concern you. These foods cause your body to release serotonin, which is a hormone of joy. What kind of stress is there. If you are not particularly attracted to such products, then try coarse bread with salted cottage cheese or cheese, or porridge, adding dried fruits and nuts to it — it will be delicious!
Chicken breast contains tryptophan, which also helps to fight stress. After a busy day for dinner, you should eat some breast and then you can fall asleep with a clear head. And no extraneous thoughts will interfere with your sleep. In addition, legumes are rich in tryptophan and there are quite a lot of them in peanuts. If you follow the link, you will be able to choose from the table those products that are most suitable for you.
And don't forget about walks, pleasant meetings with friends and, of course, sports!
