Stress Reducing Foods

“The most important thing to do from a nutrition standpoint when stressed is to manage your food environment,” says Fran Johnson, RDN, LD, a behavioral health nutritionist.

She recommends six super-foods to diminish stress:

• Nuts
• Salmon (can be thinly sliced, smoked pieces)
• Raw vegetables, such as red pepper strips or broccoli, and dip
• Whole grains, such as cereal, oatmeal or an English muffin
• Dark chocolate
• Black or green tea
