  • Outsmart Stress-Eating = any type of stress, but especially lack of sleep, can lead to cravings for sugar and comfort foods. Before you eat, especially at night when stress-eating is most likely to occur, ask yourself if it’s “real” hunger or stress cravings?
  • Turn Down Your Stress Response – certain foods and herbals can help your body and mind to reduce an overactive stress response to help calm your anxiety in the moment. Nuts (almonds/walnuts), asparagus, yogurt, and green tea all contain bioactive nutrients that can help us relax.
  • Prepare for the NEXT Stressor – improve your “resilience” to stress so you’re better able to “roll” with whatever comes your way with flavonoids (berries/cherries/chocolate), mushrooms, fiber and probiotics.
