Fruits to beat stress
Do you need to eat something to beat stress? Eating the right fruits is more than enough to help you get rid of the stress
Below are the two fruits which can help us to get rid of stress. These fruits are also a good option for us to eat when we want to stay away from what’s so called stress.
Avocados
Potassium is the key. What’s so important about potassium? According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, one of the best ways to reduce high blood pressure is to get enough potassium. The good news is half an avocado offers 487 milligrams of potassium, more than you’ll get from a medium-size banana. You can whip up your own avocado salad dressing by pureeing a medium avocado with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a dash of cayenne.
Oranges
Vitamin C is the magic nutrient of oranges. In a study in Psychopharmacology, German researchers subjected 120 people to a public-speaking task plus a series of math problems. Those who took 3,000 milligrams of vitamin C reported that they felt less stressed, and their blood pressure and levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) returned to normal faster. “Vitamin C is also a well-known immune system booster,” says Amy Jamieson-Petonic, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. It can keep your body fit all day long. So, from now on, no more fretting over a job interview or presentation at work. Just peel yourself an orange or simply pour yourself a glass of Florida’s famous juice.
Both fruits above are the right choice not only for reducing stress, but also for keeping our body fit.
