How can a balanced diet reduce stress?
A balanced diet helps us to stay fit and healthy. In our diet, we find micronutrients such as magnesium, which have a relaxing effect, helping us to feel less stressed. In practical terms, this means eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and low in fatty foods. A sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals is also necessary to restore the body's reserves, which can be severely depleted during periods of stress.
