There are a number of foods that reduce stress. In this post I will describe 10 anti-stress foods. You can eat or drink them if you are very stressed as they help reduce stress.
Anti-stress foods
- Avocados: They are rich in vitamin B1, also known as the nerve vitamin. Vitamin B1 is involved in normal nerve function and therefore contributes to the reduction of stress.
-
Cereals: especially oatmeal is the ideal breakfast when you are stressed. Oatmeal has a calming effect.
-
Blueberries: They are rich in omega 3 fatty acids which reduce the risk of depression. These fats ensure normal brain function and are therefore not bad at all in stressful situations.
-
Nuts: They are an ideal snack when you are stressed. Many nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that reduce the risk of depression and tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid that promotes the production of the happiness hormone serotonin.
-
Salmon: It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which reduce the risk of depression. These fats ensure normal brain function and are therefore not bad at all in stressful situations.
-
Yogurt: A bowl of yogurt is a good idea when you are feeling stressed. The probiotics in yogurt have a calming effect on areas of the brain that deal with emotions, including stress.
-
Dark Chocolate: Besides the fact that eating dark chocolate makes us happy, it also has a great influence on our brain. Eating chocolate with at least 70% cocoa reduces stress. Cocoa contains tryptophan, a substance that promotes the production of the happiness hormone serotonin.
-
Milk: Drinking milk reduces the feeling of stress, this is due to the lactium protein. Lactium lowers blood pressure and reduces the stress hormone cortisol, which calms your body.

Popcorn: It is rich in amino acids that keep hormones good such as the hormone of happiness, serotonin, which flows in the blood. This will make you feel happy again.
10: Bananas: A banana contains tryptophan, a substance that promotes the production of the happiness hormone serotonin.
