Let these foods lighten the elephant on your chest,
so you can sleep like a baby.
- Black and green teas can help you relax. Green tea contains an amino acid called theanine, which has been linked to reducing anxiety and promoting sleep. Sensitive to caffeine? Check out Chamomile and Peppermint tea, they are both calming, relaxing alternatives.
- Dark Chocolate. It contains antioxidants called flavonoids, known for their relaxing effects.
- Fish. Rich in omega 3's which help ease a stressed mind.
- Oatmeal. Low glycemic carbs (LGC) naturally boost your mood by starting the production of serotonin in the brain. LGC take longer to digest, so they release serotonin at a slower and steadier pace.
- Greens. Make 'em leafy. Magnesium is found in green veggies, especially Swiss chard and spinach, which help muscles relax and also calms the nerves.
- Papaya, Red Bell Peppers, Oranges, Broccoli, Kale, Strawberries. Studies show that Vitamin C help people bounce back from stressful situations.
