- Eat the right fat - choices that have lots of omega-3 fatty acids (flaxseeds, walnuts, pine nuts, tuna, salmon) help manage fluctuations in stress hormones and also offer protection against mood disorders like depression. Omega-3s are key to brain function... and if you're thinking clearly you'll be able to face, and cope with stress better.
- Get more vitamin C - eating foods like citrus fruits helps lower stress hormone levels and increase the immune system too. This is important as our immune systems are often not working at their best when we're dealing with stress.
- Drink green tea - as studies have found an amino acid naturally found in green tea has a calming, not drowsy, effect. The bonus, it also helps to reduce high blood pressure, a well-known side effect of stress on the body.
Beyond what you eat, there are coping strategies you can use when the cravings hit mid afternoon. Get up and go for a brisk, two-minute walk outside in the fresh air instead. Or do breathing exercises such as ten deep breaths in and out to help bring down cortisol levels in your body. If you find that you are really hungry (as opposed to emotionally hungry), go for something healthy that's satisfying, delicious and nutritious.
And beware, that the light, low calorie ready-made "snacks" aren't the answer - these foods are loaded with additives and calories and not much else. Twenty minutes after eating them your digestive enzymes are looking for some sustenance and finding nothing. It's no wonder people aren't satisfied... and go back for more.
