In need of stress relief? The answer might be in your diet.

Too rushed or stressed to eat well? Think again!! Good nutrition is an important stress management tool. When our bodies are poorly fed, stress takes an even greater toll on our health. Nutrition and stress are interlinked.

Eating a healthy diet can reduce the negative effects of stress on your body. A healthy diet builds a solid, more enduring foundation for your body by reducing oxidation and inflammation.

Here are some tips to eat well.

1. Eat regularly

Your brain needs glucose to work at its best. Eating regularly throughout the day helps keep your blood glucose stable. Studies have shown that more stable blood sugar levels are associated with better performance.

2. Get your healthy fats

Omega 3 fatty acids found in walnuts, flax seeds, and fish oil are associated with brain function. Consumption of these foods can help fight depression and/or anxiety.

3. Eat your veggies and fruits

Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and minerals like copper, zinc manganese, and vitamin A, E and C. Leafy greens are especially good for you. These vitamins and minerals work to neutralize harmful molecules produced when your body is under stress.

4. And high fiber food

High fiber intake has been associated with greater alertness and decreases perceived stress. So add fibre-rich food like oatmeal, beans, fruits and vegetables to your diet.

5. No caffeine before going to bed at night

Caffeine leads to increased blood pressure and makes you anxious. While consuming caffeine may seem to help you concentrate better, some studies show that caffeine only restores what is lost through lack of sleep so make sure you are not turning to caffeine at night before going to bed. Instead, go for or other alternatives that will help you have a good night sleep.
