Eating well helps you function at your peak, mentally and physically, and these foods are full of nutrients that help your body bounce back from the biological effects of stress. What better way to spoil yourself?
Dark Chocolate
This go-to mood booster has more polyphenols than some fruit juices and has been known to lower blood pressure. A one-ounce square is the perfect portion.
Papaya
With vitamins A, C, and E, this
tropical fruit is good for your skin, eyes, heart, and immune system.
Try it fresh or, in small amounts, dried, to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Rosemary
Whether used topically or to
season foods, the fragrant oil stimulates circulation and acts as an
anti-irritant. Plus, this herb is a proven memory booster.
Flaxseed
Ground flax (easier to digest
than whole seeds) is a dynamite source of lignans, plant estrogens that
may soothe monthly mood swings and help prevent overeating.
Orange
This segmented citrus fruit is a
powerhouse of vitamin C, an antioxidant that has been shown to help
people recover more quickly from stress.
Celery
Crunching a stalk is
stress-busting in itself, but celery also contains a chemical that
lowers the concentration of stress hormones in the blood, relaxing
constricted vessels.Thanks for Reading ...........
