6. Healthy Diet and Hydration – Fuel for Mental Health
What you eat directly impacts your stress levels. Processed foods, caffeine, and sugar spikes can worsen anxiety, while a balanced diet rich in nutrients supports calmness and emotional stability.
Best stress-reducing foods:
- Omega-3 rich foods (salmon, walnuts, chia seeds) – improve brain health.
- Dark chocolate – releases endorphins.
- Fresh fruits & vegetables – packed with antioxidants to fight stress damage.
- Water – dehydration can increase stress and fatigue.
Maintaining a healthy diet keeps both your body and mind in balance.
