Again on Yahoo today, an article on 8 Foods that Fight Stress by Sara Reistad-Long caught my attention. Now, this is exactly what i need to cope with my days from Mon-Fri..and sometimes Sat-Sun. Even just thinking of the days made my body twitched slightly. Stress...

Here are the 8 suggested foods that i should be consuming from now on:

1. Dark Chocolate
(Enhances mood. Mmm-hmmm...)

2. Lowfat/Skim Milk
(Listen up ladies! Consuming 4 or more glasses of warm, lowfat/skim milk everyday will experience lesser stress-related PMS symptoms. So, start drinking for happier days!)

3. Oatmeal
(High in fiber but i'm not so fond of the oats. Maybe can substitute it with digestive biscuits. That's nice.)

4. Salmon
(Omega 3 fatty goodness can lower the stress symptoms. Hmm...I like fish. =D)

5. Walnuts
(Help lower blood pressure. Must start liking nuts?!.. from now on..i guess.)

6. Sunflower Seeds
(Good source of folate. Hmm, does kuaci counts?)

7. Spinach
(Contains magnesium...whatever it is, i LOVE this green ALOT!!)

8. Blueberries
(Antioxidants. I love them in muffins, pancakes, ice-creams, pies...hmm, must i list out more? hehe!!)

So ladies & gentlemen,
let's pick up that glass of warm milk for better health & less stress...CHEERS!!!

Do read more on the article for better explanations.

Luv Luv!

If you open Yahoo today, there's an article on The 5 foods you should eat everyday.
Here's what written by Holly Robinson Peete:

#1 Leafy greens

Medical experts call them one of nature's miracle foods. Leafy greens like Swiss chard and kale are high in nutrients like folate and vitamins A and C that can lower your risk of cancer. Just one cup of dark, leafy greens a day could also prevent diabetes and high blood pressure.

#2 Nuts

Many nutritionists recommend nuts like almonds, cashews and walnuts because they're high in natural fiber. Fiber slows your digestive process, keeping hunger and unhealthy mid-afternoon snacks at bay. Goodbye vending machine runs!

#3 Onions

Studies show that consuming onions on a regular basis may reduce symptoms of asthma and the risk of developing stomach cancer. Add them to soups and stir-fry, and just remember -- the stronger the onion, the greater the health benefit.

#4 Whole grains

Refined grains, like white rice and pasta, have lost 90% of their nutritional value through the refining process. As if that weren't reason enough to choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa and whole oats, a recent study showed that a diet rich in whole grains actually flattens your belly by reducing fat storage in your lower abdominal region.

#5 Yogurt

Making yogurt part of your daily eating routine can improve your digestion -- if you're buying the right stuff. Check that the label lists "active cultures" to make sure you're getting healthy probiotics, and pick a yogurt rich in vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis.

Yup, anything about food will get my attention very much.
So, join me in following this routine everyday!

Luv Luv!!
