2. Part of our daily life is about dealing with things and situations that stresses us. Whether it is spending time
with your family, managing your career, or simply taking care of yourself, stress is just waiting around the
corner. I’m sure you know that there are ways to manage stress such as breathing exercises and meditation. But
did you know that your diet can also help? Here are the top ten healthy foods that can help you lower your
stress levels.
Citrus fruits. These fruits such as oranges, lemon, tangerine, and grapefruits are rich in vitamin C
which helps reduce stress. It also helps return your blood pressure and cortisol levels to normal after a
stressful situation. And as a plus, it also boosts your immune system which weakens whenever the
body is stressed.

3. Foods rich in vitamin B. Like vitamin A, vitamin B can also help reduce the effects of stress by
helping the body relax and calm down. It removes the feelings of stress and enhances your mood. So
include foods such as nuts, oats, grains, soybeans, poultry and eggs in your diet for a healthy dose of
vitamin B.
Sweet potatoes. These sweet treats not only satisfy your appetite for carbohydrates and sweets
whenever your stressed but these also keep you feeling full because of its high fiber content. Sweet
potatoes are also full of beta-carotene and other vitamins that help reduce the effects of stress.

4. Apricots. Apricots are rich in magnesium and other vitamins which helps the body cope with stress
and also serves as a natural muscle relaxant.
Papayas. Papayas and other yellow fruits and vegetables are natural stress busters because they are
rich in vitamins A and C as well as folate which help boost your mental toughness and enhance your
mood.

5. Bell peppers. Like papayas, bell peppers are also rich in vitamins A and C and folate. Other nutrients
found in bell peppers can also help the body repair itself from the damages done by stress.
Nuts. Stock up on almonds, pistachios and walnuts for a good dose of vitamins B and E to help you
boost your immune system. It also contains healthy oils that are good for the heart and brain.
Pistachios and walnuts are also great help in lowering the blood pressure.

6. Turkey. If you’re stressed, make a turkey sandwich or any meal with turkey meat. Turkey contains
amino acids that help release serotonin, a chemical in the brain that acts as a natural pain killer and a
mood enhancer. Eat some turkey it will help you feel relaxed after a stressful situation.
Salmon. Salmons are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are good for the heart and helps keep your
cortisol (stress hormones) levels and adrenaline from elevating.

7. Avocados. These tasty green treats are full of potassium and monosaturated fats that are effective in
lowering your blood pressure. Your blood pressure increases whenever you’re stressed. For that,
doctors recommend that you consume foods rich in potassium to help you return your blood pressure
back to normal.
Of course, diet alone is not enough. If you really want to fight and manage stress, you should combine a
healthy diet with right exercise, proper mindset and spiritual balance.
