Feeling stressed and angry? When we are under stress, our adrenal glands require the right nutrients to function at their best. Protect your body from stress with plenty of vitamin C-rich foods – your adrenals store and use vast amounts of vitamin C and magnesium. Add in plenty of antioxidant vitamin C-rich cherries or strawberries and a spoonful of superfood goji berries, plus the handful of spinach leaves provides B vitamins and magnesium, which are essential for adrenal health.
Keep your blood sugar balanced by including some healthy fat and protein with the addition of avocado. You could also add a scoop of protein powder for further blood sugar support. Adding protein prevents a dip in energy levels, stopping you from feeling irritable, moody and ready to explode. For a super calming boost, switch the water for cold chamomile tea.
