The frantic pace of everyday life and our effort to fit all the obligations in a 24 hour period reasonably create stress. But also the conditions that prevail and especially in the last months with the coronavirus, are an additional reason for you to be more stressed and to face the stress, which you feel to pay you.
However, with the right diet, you can significantly improve your mental mood and enjoy a more relaxed and carefree daily life.
See below which foods are best to fight stress:
Black chocolate
The antioxidants in dark chocolate, which come from cocoa, help to relax blood vessels, thus facilitating blood circulation and lowering blood pressure. These effects help to reduce stress.
Salmon
It is rich in nutritious Ω3 fatty acids, which significantly benefit the health of the brain and the nervous system in general. Thanks to their anti-inflammatory action, Ω3 fats have been proven to improve mood and protect against depression.
Turkey
Tryptophan, an amino acid found in turkey, has a strong relaxing effect and thus can reduce the feeling of stress. Tryptophan promotes the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter of joy and good mood.
Broccoli
It contains a significant amount of magnesium, a metal with a strong relaxing effect.
Almonds
They contain zinc, iron and good fatty acids that play an important role in good mood. Generally with almonds the same is true with broccoli.
Whole grains
