Endocrinologist at SM Clinic Ekaterina Kazachkova spoke about products that help reduce the level of cortisol, which is produced during stress.
“Properly selected products will help reduce the negative impact of stress on the body,” the expert said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
According to the specialist, cocoa and chocolate help reduce cortisol levels, as they are rich in antioxidants.
Salmon, sardines and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, while spinach and other greens contain magnesium, which calms the nervous system.
Blueberries help fight oxidative stress, and nuts and seeds contain zinc to regulate the functioning of the adrenal glands, the doctor added.
Previously, nutritionist Margarita Koroleva, in a conversation with NSN, said that breakfast is one of the most important meals. According to her, a person who does not have breakfast on time will have a lower metabolic rate.
