4 Superfoods That Reduce Stress Naturally!
Stress is very common in people of all age groups. It can be due to the workplace, some disease, or anything else. People suggest doing yoga, and exercise can reduce stress level. But, we will talk about a few foods that can be beneficial in reducing stress.
Such as:
1. Foods rich in Vitamin B12: Foods such as meat, liver, cereals and eggs are rich sources of vitamin B12 as they reduce inflammation in the body, and decrease in cortisol levels and stress.
2. Omega-3 fatty Acids: Fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel and eggs are rich sources of animal-based Omega- 3 fatty acids while avocado, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are plant-based Omega 3 fatty acids, can potentially reduce inflammation and stress in the body.
3. Foods high in magnesium: Magnesium helps in reducing inflammation in the body, and metabolize cortisols. During stress, your body eliminates a lot of magnesium through urine, due to which the cortisol levels increase in your body. Foods such as pumpkin seeds, almonds, pistachios, broccoli, bananas, and avocado are high in magnesium.
4. Foods rich in fibers and probiotics: Foods high in fiber such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, whole grain oats, and legumes are high in fiber content and are also rich in prebiotics, which is good for your digestive health, which leads to more serotonin levels in the body and decreases stress.
