Reduce your stress by eating this

Stress follows us around in life. It's like a silent enemy always on our heels.

Morning traffic jam on the way to work, late for a meeting, sudden rain and you are without an umbrella or anything else. There are countless reasons our bodies feel stressed. We can't always remove the cause of stress, but we can battle its effects.

Our best ally in this battle - the hormone serotonin.

It helps our brain handle stress better and controls our moods and emotions.

Serotonin comes from the amino acid tryptophan, found in proteins. Here are the top foods rich in tryptophan:

1. Pumpkin and sesame seeds

2. Cheeses - especially mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and hollandaise

3. Parsley

4. Venison, elk, and wild boar

5. Red roe

6. Almonds, cashews

7. Rabbit, turkey (better than chicken).

8. Trout, squid, mackerel, salmon(preferably wild), and cod

For drinks, try natural cocoa or sugar-free hot chocolate. Cocoa is great because it has tryptophan and lots of magnesium, which is good for the nervous system.

So, we know what makes serotonin, but what boosts its production?

1. Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids:

• Spend time in the sun

• Eat fatty fish like salmon and cod, cooked gently, egg yolks

• Use flaxseed oil in salads

• If you want to use nutritional supplements, consult your doctor first

2. Get enough sleep. For tips on sleeping well, read the article on our website:

Each mindful small step today will transform into a giant leap for your well-being tomorrow.
