    caffeine promotes stress….coffee,….cokes

    combatting stress:
    chamomile tea for relaxation, calming nerves
    gaucamole (avocados) balance hormones
    also if ur feeling nervous, eat dairy, sometimes it’s going to put you to sleep or atleast relax u(esp. hot milk, sounds gross but it is actually okay and REALLY relaxes you to the max)
    hot soups, good for the soul

    Foods that are helpful with stress are calcium rich foods, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, protein rich foods,fish, lentils, nuts and seeds. Also vitamin and mineral supplements such as magnesium, calcium and vitamins B-12, B-1 and B-6 are helpful with calming and regulating moods.

    Avoid a lot of sugar, salt and caffeine and stay away from processed foods which are usually loaded with salt and/or sugar.

    Eating food in its unprocessed, natural state is always the best way to go. Oh and one more thing, always avoid those so called “energy” drinks because they’re typically full of sugars and caffeine.

    A balanced, healthy diet free of sugars, chemicals, additives, corn syrup will help your body be strong and fit.
    The herb Holy Basil is being promoted as a treatment for reducing both stress and elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and to promote physical and emotional endurance.
