\t\t\t\t\"liimo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Orange juice<\/strong>
\nWhen our worrisome thoughts go into overdrive, the body\u0092s natural response is to release stress-fighting hormones such as cortisol\u0097and elevated levels of cortisol can affect your mood as well as your weight. \u0093It may increase fat storage, especially in your belly,\u0094 says registered dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade, author of Belly Fat Diet For Dummies. One way to restore your inner peace is to drink a glass of vitamin-C-loaded O.J. \u0093Studies have found that foods rich in vitamin C can help decrease the production of cortisol, helping to lessen the impact it has on your body when under stress,\u0094 adds Palinski-Wade. One German study even found that giving nervous public speakers 1,000 mg of vitamin C helped them feel calmer.<\/p>\n

\"oatmeal\"<\/a>
\nOatmeal<\/strong>
\nThis healthy, hearty breakfast food does more than just warm your belly. \u201cThe complex carbohydrates in oatmeal stimulate the release of serotonin, the \u2018feel-good\u2019 hormone that helps reduce stress in your brain,\u201d says registered dietitian and Nutritious Life founder Keri Glassman. Plus, numerous studies have shown that oatmeal may reduce the risk for elevated blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and weight gain.<\/p>\n

\"SALMON\"<\/a>
\nSalmon<\/strong>
\nWhen the going gets tough, Palinski-Wade suggests enjoying a grilled, baked, or poached salmon dish. \u201cThis fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids,\u201d she says. \u201cNot only do these fatty acids decrease inflammation, but they have also been found to prevent stress hormones, such as cortisol, from peaking after a tense situation.\u201d A study conducted by French scientists concluded that fish oil \u201csignificantly blunted\u201d stress hormones exerted by the central nervous system.<\/p>\n

\"ASPARAGUS\"<\/a>
\nAsparagus<\/strong>
\nNibbling on these flower-like spears can help boost feelings of serenity. \u201cAsparagus is high in folate, a mineral that has been found to enhance mood, making it a great stress-reducer,\u201d says Glassman. And this low-calorie, low-sodium veggie has also been shown to have antidiabetic effects. According to a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, asparagus can keep blood sugar levels in check and increase insulin production in those who suffer from type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

\"OYTRES\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oysters<\/strong>
\nThis shellfish may be famous for its aphrodisiac powers, but that\u2019s not its only health benefit. \u201cThanks to their high level of zinc\u2014a mineral that has been shown to decrease the secretion of cortisol in your body\u2014oysters can also be considered a stress-busting food,\u201d says Palinski-Wade. A single oyster also contains nearly 11 mg of zinc, a mineral vital for a healthy immune system.<\/p>\n

\"PISTACHIONS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pistachios<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s no wonder this nutrient-dense nut has become a favorite among health and wellness experts. \u201cPistachios are a rich source of magnesium, which helps to balance cortisol levels within the body,\u201d says Palinski-Wade. And if you\u2019ve been stressing about your weight, this member of the cashew family can help with that, too. \u201cPistachios contain only 3 calories per nut\u2014about half the calories of most snack nuts\u2014making them a great choice for individuals looking to lose weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"BEANS\"<\/a>
\nCannellini beans<\/strong>
\nAlso known as white beans, this relative of the kidney bean can ward off stress. \u201cCannellini beans are rich in phosphatidylserine, a chemical that helps with cellular function in the brain, which may counteract the damaging impact of cortisol on your body,\u201d says Palinski-Wade. Available in both dried and canned forms, the popular Italian bean with a nutty flavor can also whittle your waistline. \u201cThey\u2019re high in resistant starch, which can help to promote weight loss as well as regulate blood sugar levels,\u201d adds Palinski-Wade.<\/p>\n

\"CHOCOLATE\"<\/a>
\nDark chocolate<\/strong>
\nOh, yes, it\u2019s true. \u201cThe polyphenols and flavonols in dark chocolate help lower blood pressure, adding to a feeling of calm,\u201d says Glassman. A group of German researchers gathered 30 study volunteers whose anxiety levels (rated either low or high) were first determined by a psychological questionnaire. After two weeks of eating 1.5 oz of dark chocolate daily, researchers found that cortisol levels in the highly anxious adults decreased, while other stress-related imbalances improved as well. So even science agrees\u2014chocolate makes everything seem a little better!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
