Let’s take a look:

  • Potassium in bananas and avocados helps to reduce blood pressure.
  • Soybeans and dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and chard contain magnesium, which can help to combat headaches & fatigue (which can either be direct result of stress, or can make stress worse).
  • The Omega-3 fatty acid contained in flax seeds can actually help to keep stress hormone levels low.
