Food For Stress & Anxiety
A healthy brain requires many micronutrients to function well and to protect the neurons from wear and tear. When we think about the stress that our brains come under in our daily lives (thinking about the to do list, worrying over a deadline, stressing about the big presentation next week) it’s no wonder that we often find ourselves struggling to cope!
Research has shown that the foods we eat can have a significant impact on the health of our brains…and that means, we can actually choose to eat foods that help us to manage stress and anxiety.
So if you are someone who feels like they could use a little extra brain support, these are the foods you should be including:
Several other nutrients are also beneficial for brain health, including the vitamin B complex and vitamin D. During times of heightened stress we may not be able to meet our body’s nutritional needs, so you might consider a high-quality multi vitamin to help support your stress response.
