| Regardless of the cause, when we are stressed we often turn to diet-busting goodies for comfort.But ever wondered that instead of soothing our frayed nerves, many of them rather make us feel worse.Take the classic, curling up with a bowl of ice cream.It’s a total backfire.Why?Sweets are sweet killers.After the initial rush, the body’s insulin response kicks in, causing a sudden drop in blood sugar.But true comfort foods do exist and here’s what you should eat if you are really down and out.. NUTS FOR YOU Walnuts replace those stress depleted B vitamins.Brazil nuts give you a good amount of zinc(which is drained by high anxiety).And almonds provide vitamin E that fights cellular damage linked to chronic stress. OH ORANGES People who take 1,000 mg of vitamin C before giving a speech have lower levels of cortisol and lower blood pressures than those who don’t.So lean back, take a deep breath and concentrate on peeling a large orange.This 5-minute break will ease your mind, and you will get a dose of vitamin C as well. ASPARAGUS Each tender stalk is a source of folic acid, a natural mood lightener.Dip the spears in fat free yoghurt for a hit of calcium with each bite! TEA TIME A warm drink is s super soother, and curling up with a cup of aromatic decaf tea can make the whole bad day go away. DARK CHOCOLATE Chocolate is the best comfort food ever.But when you get those chocolate craving, reach for the dark kinds which are at least 70 per cent cocoa.The antioxidant flavonoids in it are potent enough to fight cancer and heart disease. HOT TIP FOR YOU: A balanced blood sugar level keeps you stress-free and going on and on.To make it steady, eat nuts between your main meal.Unsalted peanuts, cashews, almonds and walnut do wonders to your health.They are packed with vitamin B complex, which keeps tiredness and adrenal problems at bay.Go ahead, go nuts! |
