Between taking care of yourself, going to work, and spending time with your family, getting through your day can be very stressful. Unhealthy eating patterns usually result in an increased level of stress, followed by severe health problems such as diabetes and obesity. Adding the right foods to your daily diet can reduce the amount of stress you currently suffer from. Certain foods enhance the production of serotonin ("the happy hormone") in the brain and decrease cortisol levels. When a person becomes stressed, a common reaction is a sudden urge to eat convenience foods. A balanced diet can help you fight stress and improve your overall health.
