To begin with it is necessary to adhere to rules of reception of food well familiar to all:
there is little, but often (5 times a day and more) is much more useful than doing it in large portions a couple of times a day;
the correct distribution of the diet during the day should be as follows: breakfast - about a third of the total volume, for lunch - 40%, intermediate snacks between meals - 10%, dinner - 20%;
salt should be consumed as little as possible - no more than it is necessary for cooking;
smoked products, mayonnaise and canned food, as well as other food that is heavy for the body from the diet should be excluded altogether;
Also, do not get involved in alcohol and sweets;
will help to strengthen the body tea with infusions of wild rose, aronia, ashberry leaves, nettle leaves and rubbed dry carrots. Infusions can be mixed, then tea will be multivitamin.
Another would be to use antidepressant products that help the body cope with stress. These products include not only one bitter chocolate (although it gives a positive effect when consumed in reasonable doses). In fact, antidepressants are much more.
Fish against stress
First of all, it is sea fish containing a large number of omega-3 fatty acids. Such food reduces the production of cytokines in the body that arise in it from stress and provoke inflammation. Omega-3 acids counteract the production of stress hormones, tone the heart muscle and normalize the pressure.
Cabbage leaf from all worries
In addition to fish, the broccoli cabbage will help a lot from stress. It has a lot of folic acid and vitamin B1, useful for the body in overstrain, depression, cramps and muscle pain. Even in broccoli, a high content of vitamin E, potassium and omega-3 acids - their use will strengthen the heart muscle and blood vessels.
Raise the mood with calcium and iodine
Iodine-containing foods are also very necessary for the body in a state of stress. Sea kale, some berries, vegetables and fruits (for example, oranges, garlic, strawberry, melon, carrots and soybeans), champignons and even specially iodized bakery products. Iodine has a positive effect on the endocrine system and thus improves mood. In addition, the bromine contained in sea kale has a calming effect on the body.
The lack of calcium in the body is also one of the causes of stress and irritability. Therefore, products containing calcium, may well be considered antidepressants. This milk, beets, beans and whole grain flour. But especially a lot of calcium in almonds, in which there is also plenty of vitamin B2, which strengthens the production of serotonin and magnesium, which helps to strengthen the nervous system.
Egg for the heart and soul
Choline is a substance whose deficiency in the body can cause distraction, decreased concentration and even depression. The lack of choline can be replenished by eating eggs. Especially useful are quail, due to the content of glycine in them, normalizing pressure and favorably affecting the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
Tasty and healthy
And of course, how to combat stress, and for the overall strengthening of the body will help the use of fruit. The most useful of the available at this time of year are pears, grapes and bananas.
Another worth making in the diet and grapefruit, one fruit of which contains the daily content of vitamin C. And if you cut this fruit in half, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake in the oven - it will not only be useful in fighting stress, but also a very tasty dish.
Bon Appetit!
