Had a long day at the office? Kids acting out all day? Feeling a financial crunch or relationship strain? Grab your fork and dig in to the following stress-busting superfoods. 

1.Green leafy vegetables

All the greens, from spinach to kale are rich in magnesium, a nutrient that gets reduced during stressful times. These green leafy vegetables also contain folate, which stimulate production of the calming neurotransmitter dopamine. So, it is good idea to make a green smoothies in the morning. 

2.Oatmeal 

If you're already a carb lover, it's likely that nothing can come between you and a doughnut when stress hits. First rule of thumb: Don't completely deny the craving. According to MIT research, carbohydrates can help the brain make serotonin, the same substance regulated by antidepressants. But instead of reaching for that sugary bear claw, go for complex carbs. "Stress can cause your blood sugar to rise, Mangieri says, "so a complex carb like oatmeal won't contribute to your already potential spike in blood glucose."

3.Yogurt

Maybe it sound strange, but bacteria in your gut might be contributing to stress. Research has discovered that the brain signals to the gut, which is why stress can inflame gastrointestinal symptoms; communication may flow the other way too, from gut to brain. A 2013 UCLA study among 36 healthy women discovered that consuming probiotics in yogurt reduced brain activity in areas that handle emotion, including stress compared to individuals who consumed yogurt without probiotics or no yogurt at all. 

4.Blueberries

Anthocyanins are the pigments that give berries like blueberries and blackberries their deep color. These antioxidants aid your brain in the production of dopamine, a chemical that is critical to coordination, memory function, and your mood. 

5.Milk

Vitamin D which the body creates its own when exposed to the sun, it is only naturally found in a few foods, including milk. And because this vitamin plays a significant role in increase happiness, if you have a desire for a feel-good wake up call, drink a glass of vitamin D-fortified milk in the morning.
