Fight stress the all-natural way, with some important ingredients that can keep your heart from racing and fight stress cravings! Read on to find out a few everyday foods you can eat to help you beat stress.

Almonds, Pistachios, Walnuts
The vitamin E in almonds is an antioxidant that boosts your immune system. The B vitamins also help you get tough events. Walnuts and pistachios help keep your heart calm.

Avocado
Make some guacamole to satisfy that emotional craving for something fatty and creamy in place of ice cream. It helps reduce frantic feelings

Skim Milk
Drinking milk at bedtime is for a reason. It helps insomnia and restlessness. The calcium in skim milk also soothes tension and muscle spasms.

Oatmeal
Like chocolate, the carbs in oatmeal produce serotonin to help relax your brain and give feelings of relaxation and happiness. Oatmeal is also slow carbs, which means a more steady release of serotonin.

Oranges
The vitamin C in orange juice helps keep normal blood pressure and cortisol levels.

Salmon
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which fights stress hormones.

Spinach
The mineral helps lower stress levels. Magnesium deficiency is often a trigger of migraines. Replace lettuce with spinach.
