Beat Stress .....

Super-Foods to Help You Stay Healthy
You can help beat stress by eating…

• Sunflower seeds, which are a good source of folate.  Folate helps your body produce a pleasure-inducing brain chemical called dopamine. [1 or 2 tablespoons would make a great snack.]
• Spinach, which contains magnesium. Magnesium improves your body's response to stress. 
• Blueberries, which contain antioxidants that counteract the effects of stress hormones like cortisol on your body. [Blueberries are great on your morning cereal or as a snack.]

You can get energized with…

• Almonds or almond butter, which help to stabilize energy levels with a mix of protein and healthy fat. [
• Eggs ~ by adding a lean protein to your breakfast, like eggs, you will help fight fatigue. When you have an all-carb breakfast (muffin, bagel, toast) you will find yourself sluggish because carbs boost your levels of serotonin, a calming hormone. [A good energizing breakfast is 2 eggs (or 1 egg and 2 egg whites)
