Nutritionist Svetlana Fus provides a list of anti-stress foods and tips on what to do when there is a strong urge to eat away stress.
Do not think that food containing fats is harmful. In times of stress, the human nervous system needs these elements because it is made up of fats itself.
-
A piece of pork or fatty fish;
-
Butter;
-
Nuts;
-
Avocado;
-
Olive and flaxseed oil, sunflower seeds;
Therefore, it is important to dress even vegetable salad with vegetable oil, notes the nutritionist. The best options are: olive, flaxseed, and avocado oil — no more than four tablespoons a day.
— Fats not only counteract stress but also reduce inflammation.
The same goes for butter, egg yolks, and sour cream — these products provide satiety and deliver important elements for the brain and stomach, adds Svetlana Fus.
Seafood, herring, and mackerel are also good anti-stress foods.
To cope with stress, it is also worth engaging in sports: it is not always about running or lifting weights. It is advisable to walk briskly outside for at least one hour every day — the effect will definitely be there!
