2023 is not far away. This is not a very enjoyable time for adults. This is because I feel like I’ve just grown another year without accomplishing anything. But let’s not just sigh. As stress accumulates, blood pressure rises and fatigue becomes stronger. Instead, let’s eat the foods recommended by the American health and medical media ‘Health’. This will help you deal with the stress of the holiday season.

tangerine, orange=Citrus fruits such as tangerines and oranges are rich in vitamin C and anthocyanin, an antioxidant that helps relieve stress and give you energy. A study from Germany found that vitamin C reduced stress. 120 participants were asked to solve difficult math problems, and those who consumed vitamin C beforehand had relatively lower blood pressure and levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.

sweet potato=This is a treasure trove of lycopene, an antioxidant. Lycopene has the power to improve your mood by preventing the formation of inflammatory compounds. Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamin B6, magnesium, and beta-carotene, which play similar roles.

cave=Oysters rich in various nutrients. It is especially rich in calcium, so it is also called milk of the sea. They are also rich in zinc, which is why oysters are good for stress. If you are deficient in zinc, you may be prone to depression and anxiety. However, when eating raw oysters, you must be careful of norovirus, which causes stomach upset.

Norovirus is a virus that causes acute gastroenteritis symptoms and is characterized by concentrated outbreaks in winter. It is usually infected through direct or indirect contact between people, such as when eating uncooked fish or marine products such as raw oysters, clams, or raw fish, or drinking contaminated water. Symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, chills, and fever appear after an incubation period of about one to two days. .

To prevent norovirus infection, △Wash your hands with soap under running water for at least 30 seconds before and after eating food △Heat fish and seafood such as oysters, fish, and clams for at least 1 minute at a temperature of 85 degrees or higher before eating △Hot water after using cooking utensils Alternatively, it is better to follow rules such as disinfecting with chlorine.

Chamomile tea=When you feel stressed, it is good to have a cup of tea. In particular, chamomile tea helps calm anxiety. According to a paper published by a research team at the University of Pennsylvania, people with mild to moderate anxiety disorder significantly reduced anxiety when they consumed chamomile extract for 8 weeks.

salmon=Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which activate brain cells, increase endorphin levels, and regulate cortisol, creating a positive mood. Salmon is also rich in vitamin D. These days, when sunlight is lacking, one piece of salmon can provide half of the daily recommended amount of vitamin D.

almond=It is rich in vitamin E and vitamin B, which helps protect the immune system and maintain mood. Almonds are also rich in magnesium. If you are deficient in magnesium, you may suffer from fatigue or migraines. Let’s get into the habit of carrying a bag of almonds in your bag instead of snacks.
