After the year we’ve had, it’s important to know how to manage your stress levels. There are many ways to do so such as meditation and yoga, but what about the foods you eat? Food does play a role in stress levels and foods such high in magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, folate, iron, calcium, vitamin C and vitamin E can be helpful to incorporate into your diet. The best news is you can do it without any animal products.
