Do you stress eat? You might actually be on to something! Some foods can help you eliminate stress one bite at a time. We all manage stress differently, if you prefer to eat yourself calm, it’s time to drop the sugary treat and opt for some healthier alternatives.

Avocados – The potassium and antioxidants found in avocados can help to combat elevated blood pressure.

Blueberries and Citrus – Did you know that people with higher blood levels of vitamin C show fewer signs of stress when faced with a challenge? The vitamin C and antioxidants found in blueberries and citrus fruits can reduce levels of stress hormone in your body.

Nuts – All the crunching and crushing from eating something seriously crunchy can help you lessen your tension! Choose nuts for their omega-3s and B vitamins, they will also reduce your blood pressure.

Salmon and Tuna – The high omega-3 content of these fish will help keep your stress hormone levels in check.

Spinach – The magnesium found in spinach can help prevent headaches and fatigue. Eat it raw for the most benefit!
