There is an ancient saying: ‘Eat well, feel good’. While this is currently understood as eating multiple meals to satisfy the taste, we now have enough knowledge to understand what it actually is! Good food, in the form of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains, is essential for reducing stress, controlling your weight and managing your hormones. Some foods like dark chocolate, avocados, and nuts contain stress-reducing nutrients like magnesium and antioxidants. Avoiding too much caffeine, sugar and processed foods can also help keep your energy levels steady, reducing stress-causing fluctuations.
