13 Foods That Reduce Stress and Help Stop Anxiety Attacks
Many people fail to realize how important a role the proper nutrition plays in the reduction of stress and anxiety.
Anyone looking to reduce stress and anxiety in their life would be well advised to be watchful of the foods they
consume. The old adage “You are what you eat” is especially apropos in this present age. In this sometimes frenzied
and furious world in which we live, observing certain dietary principles can be particularly challenging. Still, a
little effort goes a long way and only a few changes in the diet can reap great rewards. Having said that, let’s
examine 13 foods that reduce stress and help stop anxiety attacks.
Fish – Salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids which protect the heart from heart diseases precipitated by stress. Omega-3 fatty acids also appear to inhibit the release of the stress hormone cortisol.
Blueberries- In addition to being a superfood, blueberries are a rich source of vitamin C which is known to be effective in reducing stress levels. Blueberries contain a high amount of fiber which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Research has shown that blood sugar fluctuations are a major contributor to stress.
Oats- Oats are one of the top foods that reduce stress. They are a great source of magnesium, thiamine and fiber.
This trio works together to relieve stress and help stop anxiety attacks.
Sweet Potatoes- A person under stress craves sugar and carbohydrates. Sweet potatoes are a healthy substitute and
can help to satisfy that craving. And the fiber they contain helps your body process the carbs in a slow, steady
manner.
Dried Apricots- Rich in magnesium, dried apricots are a great stress-buster. Apricots are high in vitamin C and
fiber. Additionally, magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant and helps reduce heart palpitations as well.
Broccoli- Chock-full of B vitamins which are known to relieve stress, broccoli also contains folic acid which reduces stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
Almonds- Almonds contain vitamins B2 ( riboflavin ) and E, magnesium, and zinc – all great stress reducers.
Beans- Black beans and kidney beans are excellent vegetable sources of thiamine, which is helpful in overcoming the short-lived depression that often accompanies high levels of stress.
Low Fat or Skim Milk- Milk contains the amino acid tryptophan – known to have a calming effect. Milk is also a good source of calcium and B vitamins which protect nerve health. Another benefit is protein which helps stabilize blood sugar.
Yogurt- Neutralizes the acidity of peptic ulcers which is aggravated by stress. Additionally, yogurt contains calcium which is essential for proper nerve impulses. Add blueberries for double stress protection.
Tomatoes- Tomatoes are a rich source of Vitamin A which is important to a healthy immune system. A dysfunctional
immune system can result in impaired nerve function.
Cayenne Pepper- Pepper contains capsicum, which helps to maintain a healthy heart and ease the anxiety that
is often the result of prolonged stress. Don’t worry about taking it straight – sprinkle it in soups, stews or on meats before broiling.
Chocolate- Admit it…you’re glad this one made the list! Chocolate is the ultimate comfort food. Enough said!
Adding these foods to your diet can make a significant difference not only in the way you feel but in the way you handle stressful episodes. As an added benefit, the aforementioned foods can be a great help in restoring sleep quality which, in turn, can help stop anxiety attacks.
