So today we're going to talk about the best foods for stress, okay? Let's start with what foods

0:06.1

that lower stress, okay? Chocolate. Now I'm talking about sugar-free chocolate, not the regular

0:12.4

chocolate with sugar, but there's a certain chemical in chocolate that reduces stress.

0:17.6

So that's one thing. I don't recommend consuming chocolate

0:22.0

and the later half of the day because it's going to possibly keep you from sleeping because it

0:27.6

does have something that is similar to caffeine. It's not actual caffeine, but it's similar.

0:32.3

So if you're going to have a little bit maybe in the late morning, okay? Nutritionally yeast,

0:37.4

why? Because of the B vitamins, specifically B1 will really help lower stress. This is a really

0:43.8

a good one right here. You can get them in tablets or just get it in a powder. You can put it

0:48.4

on your food. Celery. Celery has a chemical that helps lower blood pressure. It helps you sleep.

1:10.3

you're trying to wind down, it's your alcohol replacement. It gives a calming effect on the nervous

1:15.3

system. So kombucha tea is really good for reducing stress. I would not recommend consuming

1:22.0

more than a half of a bottle at any one time because it's very acidic and it's very thick.

1:27.3

And if I had the texture of beer, because if you have too much, you could shift your pH over to

1:33.3

being too acidic and your pulse rate will start going higher and higher and higher. So just take a

1:37.2

half a glass and sip it just like you're drinking alcohol or wine when you're really not and it will

1:43.0

it'll calm you and you'll feel good. And then we have bacon. Okay. Now I'm talking about the

1:48.0

high quality bacon you can get from the farmer's market. I'm not talking about processed bacon,

1:55.0

Oscar Mayer type bacon. Any pork, by the way, is loaded with B1, B1 lower stress. And you can
