Professor of pediatrics and nutrition at Harvard University David Ludwig is convinced that "the chemical processes in our body affect how much we are exposed to stress." This is indicated by the results of a study published in the journal Pediatrics a few years ago. Teenagers offered different breakfasts: scrambled eggs rich in protein, oats are high in fiber and very sweet porridge. In the latter case, indicators of blood sugar "soared", but then fell sharply after a few hours.

Joe Hibbeln researcher at the National Institute studies the link between mood and omega-3 acids. According to research, they make the nervous system more resistant to stress and help to protect neurons from damage. Omega-3 contained not only in conventional fish and canned tuna and sardines, as well as the seeds of chia and flax.

Drew Ramsey, a psychiatrist at Columbia University and author of The Happiness Diet, tells about the perfect breakfast to stressful conditions: an omelet with cabbage and pumpkin seeds. So you embrace multiple levels of nutrients - vitamin A to zinc, which strengthens the immune system.
