It's almost too good to be true! For those of us who have weight issues and who eat when we are under stress, the medical community is finding that sometimes stress-eating is ok! Well, you DO have to eat the right foods - not chocolate, or cake or chips. There are some foods that actually work to calm you down when your stress level is rising. Stress increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. How wonderful that now we can "eat" away our stress! The best stress-busting foods include almonds, pistachios and walnuts, avocados, skim milk, oatmeal, oranges, salmon and spinach. Each of these foods contains different minerals or vitamins which work to calm your heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Oh joy - being able to eat in order to relieve stress! How perfect is that? Eating because it's good for you . . . it's a good thing!
