Stress is part of our daily lives. Certain foods can improve your body's ability to handle stress, packed with essential nutrients needed to boost your mental awareness. Unhealthy eating can send stress levels skyrocketing and could increase your risk of sickness in the future if you don’t properly address it. 

Try adding some of these foods into your diet to actively help manage your stress levels. 

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea is among the most-well known stress-soothing teas. It helps to calm stomach distress and relieve migraine-type headaches. Chamomile tea decreases stress with its wonderful sedative and muscle relaxing properties.

Asparagus

Asparagus is not only high in iron, but also in folate, one of the many B vitamins. Asparagus stabilizes your mood and helps to reduce depression and anxiety.

Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are loaded with antioxidants and fiber. Yet it's the high amount of Vitamin C, that makes berries a stress fighting food. Vitamin C helps the body to return blood pressure and cortisol to normal levels after they have spiked.
