Stress can creep in unnoticed with your hectic daily schedule or it can arrive all at once with a major life event…
Either way, the result is elevated stress hormones that can cause chronic inflammation, serious disease, and interrupt your life!
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
- anxiety or moodiness
- cravings, especially for sweets and empty carbs
- unexplained weight gain
- decreased sex drive
- lower energy levels
If so, chronic stress may be the culprit. Take steps to address your stress, including adding stress-fighting foods to your diet.
Look for protein, fruits and veggies, and healthy fats high in omega-3s and antioxidants. Anything that qualifies as a superfood is another welcome addition, including the berries, greens, avocado, and dark chocolate in this smoothie.
Stress won’t ever disappear completely. But choosing this delicious shake for breakfast can help your body balance your stress hormones and help you feel a little calmer and happier!
