Picture
​It's human nature to seek relief when you are feeling stressed. Many occasional stresses are hard to avoid, but chronic stress can affect one's emotional and physical health. In addition, it can increase the risk of conditions like depression and heart diseases. The good thing is that certain foods can help relieve stress. Keep reading to learn more!
  1. Complex carbohydrates
    Quinoa, beans, sweet potatoes, whole-wheat bread, and barley help boost serotonin levels to reduce stress and elevate mood. They are not the same as processed carbohydrates normally found in jars and packages. These whole foods are sourced from plants that are beneficial for your health.

  2. Artichokes
    Artichokes contain high levels of fiber that are prebiotic-rich. They are a type of fiber that benefits from your gut's friendly bacteria. Animal studies claim that fructooligosaccharides help decrease stress levels, concentrated in artichokes.

    Also, it is said that those who eat more than 5 grams of prebiotics every day have improved mood and decreased levels of depression and anxiety. Lastly, artichokes are rich in magnesium, potassium, and vitamins K and C, great for stress response.

  3. Eggs
    Eggs are known as nature's multivitamin because they are packed with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids required for a healthy stress response. Whole eggs are choline-rich, a nutrient found in a few foods. Also, choline plays a great role in the brain and stress protection. There are choline supplements found in the market that can help boost mood and aid in stress.

  4. Citrus fruits
    Citrus fruits have high vitamin C levels that are essential for your health. Adrenal glands need vitamin C to release cortisol. So, stressed people need it the most. Also, it is needed to keep your physiological and biochemical body balanced and is a great energy source.

  5. Organ Meats
    The cow's and chickens' liver, kidneys, and heart are excellent sources of riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12, and folate, which are great for stress control. Also, vitamins are essential for neurotransmitter production like serotonin and dopamine which can aid in regulating mood.

Wrapping Up
Although these foods help decrease cortisol levels, they won’t impact if you don’t consider other ways to manage your stress. If you have a balanced diet and still do not get enough sleep, you won’t see results while consuming these foods. The best ways to de-stress include managing chronic diseases, getting enough sleep, and exercising.
