do not stress yourself

Can food help against stress? Yes you can. Here are the top 10 foods to combat stress!

If you've been feeling a lot more stressed lately, then you should get to know the foods we present in more detail. Because they help you to increase your concentration and your energy level.

When we're stressed, we often turn to comfort foods. Too large quantities, unhealthy dishes, everything that happens quickly and a glass of alcohol. Unhealthy meals quickly make us feel good again, but in the long term they leave us hanging.

Did you know that you can tackle stress prevention and reduction through your diet?

Eating foods like whole grains, leafy greens, and lean proteins as staples is the best way to ensure your body is getting the optimal amounts of nutrients to combat both physical and mental health issues. When choosing foods, it is particularly important to choose those that have a number of great properties that will help your body fight stress.

Choosing these stress-fighting foods will help heal your body and calm your mind permanently, rather than just providing a temporary solution.

Top 10 best stress-fighting foods are:

1. Avocado
The creamy and versatile fruit that can be consumed in a number of different ways, whether raw, made into sauces or as a dressing, dips or in a smoothie. No matter what it is, it's a hit.

This nutrient-dense fruit has the ability to make our body more resistant to stress thanks to its high glutathione content, which specifically blocks the intestinal absorption of harmful fats that can cause oxidative damage.

The power fruit avocado also contains higher levels of vitamin E, folic acid and beta-carotene than any other fruit, which further enhances its stress-reducing properties. Although good fats are contained in large quantities, it is still important to enjoy them in moderation.

2.Blueberries
They are the best snack between meals, especially when you feel stressed. Because they are better than chocolate and chips at calming our bodies and therefore our nerves.

Because they provide the highest proportion of antioxidants. The anthocyanins it contains, the coloring component of the fruit, are particularly high. It provides perfect cell protection and extremely increases the ability to concentrate.

3. Chamomile tea
Of course, it's not just about what you eat when it comes to managing stress, what you drink can also ease or worsen the stress you're feeling in your body.

Drinking liquids containing sugar and caffeine, such as coffee, energy drinks or soda, can actually increase your stress levels extremely if consumed regularly.

Whereas chamomile tea has long been recommended as a natural sedative before bed. Based on clinical studies, chamomile tea has been confirmed to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.

So get on the couch and pause for a moment with a cup of chamomile tea.

4. Chocolate
Although it's usually viewed as an unhealthy treat, there is an undeniable connection between chocolate and our mood. Studies have shown that eating chocolate can actually make us happier.

AAABUT dear sweet tooth, that doesn't mean you can start munching on candy bars every time you're stressed. Because:

– Chocolate has the best stress-reducing effect when eaten in moderation and as part of a healthy, balanced diet.

– Dark chocolate in particular (70% or more cocoa content) is best for you as it contains more flavonoids and polyphenols, two extremely important antioxidants that can help fight stress, than many fruit juices.

5. Sea Moss
Our natural, wild Jamaican Sea Moss grows in the breathtaking turquoise sea, right off Jamaica. Known in German-speaking countries as cartilage tank or red algae. In short, the Jamaican Sea Moss is a species of sea algae.

Due to its high proportion of natural minerals (92 out of 102), Jamaican Sea Moss is a must for your healthy and balanced diet. Although minerals are essential for life, they are not produced independently by our body. Therefore, we have to record them daily.

Their job is not only to build bones, teeth, hormones and blood cells, but also to transmit vital stimuli to the muscles and brain.

At the same time, the immune system is strengthened and the cells are protected from free radicals. In addition, the high iron content ensures an optimal oxygen supply to the body, which gives us more energy and performance in everyday life. It is also a natural aphrodisiac.

The Jamaican Sea Moss Gel from natural wild growth is freshly made for you before shipping. Please place in the refrigerator or freezer immediately upon receipt. Because it is a natural product and I have not added any preservatives.

6. Oatmeal
Unfortunately, their great effect on our bodies is too often underestimated. In addition to their strong calming effect, they can have a particularly performance-enhancing and activating effect on our mind.

The complex carbohydrates contained increase serotonin production in the brain as soon as they are consumed, so that you feel calmer and less stressed.

Studies have shown that children who choose oatmeal for breakfast were generally much more mentally active during the first half of the day, for example in school lessons, than children who had alternative morning meals.

7. Walnuts
If you're looking for a healthy snack option that will help you keep your stress levels under control, walnuts are a great choice.

With the slightly sweet and pleasant taste of walnuts that cannot be denied, they can be a tasty snack as a snack or as part of a dessert.

A versatile nut, walnuts are ideal for savory salads or can be a sweet something to accompany coffee or cake.

Have you ever briefly roasted walnuts, refined them with a little cinnamon and then used them as a topping for your morning Sea Moss breakfast? Try it, heavenly delicious.

8. Pistachios
Another food that is great for snacking on and can also help reduce long-term stress and anxiety are pistachios.

It has been scientifically proven that eating just two small portions of pistachios per day can reduce the constriction of blood vessels during stress and thus put less strain on the heart.

Because the arteries widen, the pressure on your heart is reduced.

Rhythmically shelling pistachios can actually be quite therapeutic!

9. Green leafy vegetables
Should be a central part of your diet.

In addition to helping fight stress, leafy greens are full of nutrients and antioxidants that help ward off disease and leave the body feeling healthier and more energized.

Dark leafy vegetables, such as spinach, are particularly good for us because they are rich in folate, which helps our body produce more mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin, a hormone that promotes a good mood.

So making leafy greens a part of your daily diet will help you feel happier and less stressed overall.

10. Fermented treats
Last but not least… Eating fermented foods like yogurt can help keep your gut healthy, which in turn helps improve your holistic health.

The beneficial bacteria have a direct impact on your mental health and reduce stress levels in your body.

They also influence brain chemistry and transmit positive mood and behavior regulating signals to the brain, specifically via the vagus nerve.

The vagus is the longest of our twelve cranial nerves and is part of the parasympathetic nervous system. It is the largest nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system and is involved in regulating the activity of almost all internal organs.
