Healthy Eats to Reduce Summer Stress
Word / Miami Vibes Magazine | IG: miamivibesmag
TalWhen you're feeling stressed, there are a number of ways you may use to manage and even lower your stress levels. Food can be one of your most powerful allies – or enemies. When you're stressed, it's vital to pay attention to what you're eating because it might make your stress levels go up or down.
Not to mention that stress might raise your requirement for specific nutrients including vitamin C, vitamin B, selenium, and magnesium. Unhealthy eating habits can raise your stress levels and increase your chances of developing health problems in the future if you don't address them.
Herbal green tea
Herbal Tea Aids help promotes Warmth and Calmness. A cup of brewed green tea has between 25 and 29 milligrammes (mg) of caffeine, compared to 95 to 165 milligrammes (mg) in a cup of black brewed coffee. As a result, if you're looking to unwind, green tea may be a better option than coffee. Herbal tea is fantastic for settling down, green tea is fine for a short dose of caffeine because it's high in flavonoids, which studies show help with brain function. They can help protect neurons from neurotoxin-induced damage and reduce neuroinflammation.
Powdered matcha
As it is high in L-theanine, a non-protein amino acid with great stress-relieving qualities, this colorful green tea powder is popular among health nuts.Because matcha is prepared from green tea leaves grown in the shade, it has more of this amino acid than other forms of green tea.
Certain molecules, such as L-theanine, are increased as a result of this process.
Matcha has been shown in both human and animal tests to lower stress when the L-theanine level is high enough and the caffeine amount is low
