LOOK INTO THE BENEFITS OF CBD OIL
Eboli suggests using CBD in your meals if you're struggling with stress. The hemp oil, which is a legal type of cannabis that doesn't actually get you high, can be used to make anything from cookies to a breakfast sandwich, and it can reduce your stress levels in a matter of minutes, Eboli tells Elite Daily.
While the ingredient has some calming benefits, check with your doctor before you experiment with it if you're worried about any potential side effects.
STIR IN A HANDFUL OF SPINACH
"Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain folate, which produces dopamine, a pleasure-inducing brain chemical, helping you keep calm," Heather Mangieri, RDN, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told Health.
For those days when you just don't feel like eating a pile of raw spinach, try blending some of the veggie into a smoothie, or stirring it into a tofu scramble. If you don't love the taste of the greens, it's totally fine to mask the flavor a little bit by combining it with some of your other favorite ingredients. Plus, the fact that spinach wilts down to practically nothing when you heat it up makes it even easier to eat plenty of the veggie.
ADD CHOCOLATE TO ANY DISH
If you're a chocoholic, tackle your stress by snacking on a few pieces of your favorite bar. Eboli explains that this decadent ingredient is great for keeping your stress to a minimum, especially if it's of a dark variety.
Of course, you can mix in the sweet treat with just about any dessert you make, but I personally love unsweetened chocolate as a savory ingredient. Try your hand at a rich chicken mole if you're ready to embark on a journey that brings chocolate into every meal.
