What do you think? Some of you may consider comfort foods as a stress reliever. But, what does the Science say? First lets start with what is Serotonin and Dopamine. They chemical messengers that help regulate emotional well- being, among other things. Some foods are high in these chemical messengers and thereby can help relieve stress. If you read this blog often enough you may notice I focus on food a lot and how a better diet can help alleviate a lot of issues.
According to Healthline there are 18 foods that can help relieve stress. They are:
- Matcha Powder
- Swiss Chard
- Sweet Potatoes
- Kimchi
- Artichokes
- Organ Meats
- Eggs
- Shellfish
- Acerola Cherry Powder
- Fatty Fish
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Tahini
- Sunflower Seeds
- Broccoli
- Chickpeas
- Chamomile Tea
- Blueberries
How many of these awesome foods do you eat daily? Try including some of these, or all of them, into your daily diet and see if you notice a difference in your Stress levels. Notably, dark chocolate did not make the Healthline list, but it did make the video and other articles I have read. I had also read that Pistachios are also helpful, but they did not make this list, or the video I share below. The video list, and Healthline list are almost the same.
