Foods to Calm Yourself Down

West Coast Vape Supply

“OMG. I need to calm down, I need to calm down, I NEED. TO. CALM. DOWN!” This has become a household phrase for almost every person, especially after 2020. Reducing your anxiety is something so many wish for but cannot achieve. You stress about trivial things, you are worried about situations that would otherwise never bother you. This takes so much energy, and you feel exhausted, unwilling even to move at the end of the day. 

How to solve that? With special foods! Read on to find out what yummies can help you spend your energy better and reduce your stress.

Salmon

Including salmon in your food doesn’t mean you will be as calm as a fish. Instead, you would help your brain be more healthy. Salmon contains vitamin D and omega-3 fats, which engage in the neurochemical processes and help you calm down and relax. Studies of Vitamin D mainly found out that it can soothe depression and “act” as a natural antidepressant. Finally, these two components help the brain adapt quickly to changes (everyone needed that last year for sure) and reduce negative mood swings.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal can be an excellent choice for those who have a sweet tooth for the following reason. When people stress, they tend to crave simple carbohydrates just to experience some short-time boost of energy. Cutting completely down on carbs wouldn’t also help as they help the brain synthesize serotonin, a natural antidepressant as well. Opting for complex carbohydrates would be much better in the long run. Also, complex carbohydrates of oatmeal wouldn’t raise your blood sugar, which can happen when you are stressing.

Honey

Can you believe that this sweet can be used to calm your body and your nerves? Indeed, it can. The good news is that honey is available everywhere, and there are so many products featuring it. This article advocates for using honey in its pure form if possible. This natural wonder contains tryptophan, an amino acid responsible for maintaining proteins, muscles, and nerves. Also, honey is rich in potassium – a chemical element – that helps calm down both the body and the nervous system by reducing cortisol, the hormone that causes stress.

Canna Chocolate

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that cannabis is on this list. This interesting plant has several benefits (as if you didn’t know). In addition to giving the pleasure that you mainly use it for, cannabis also has a calming and relaxing effect on the body. Adding (responsibly) pantry cannabis to your diet means securing a good mood and calm state of mind. Undoubtedly, you can pair it with chocolate that melts in your mouth and significantly adds to that pleasurable and soothing effect. Chocolate is also highly credited for reducing stress, so this is the ultimate food couple to go for.

Food is the panacea the body wants when dealing with stress and anxiety as it spends a lot of energy fighting them. Don’t be afraid when you understand you are going through a hard time, and make that path for your body and psyche as smooth as possible. The foods above will help you do that for sure.
