Work, family, lack of time—with the many demands of everyday life, it is sometimes not so easy to remain efficient and balanced. Our heart rate accelerates, our blood pressure rises, our muscles are tense, and our blood sugar levels drop. In other words, everyday stress. Take a deep breath; there is a solution.
You can combat the effects of stress yourself. Start with what you eat. Certain superfoods make a valuable contribution to your daily well-being, even in stressful situations.
Minerals
Minerals help in the formation of cells and tissues. If you take in enough minerals with your food, you keep your body in balance. Minerals are the spark plugs of the metabolism, as they play a decisive role in the body‘s energy production. They help in the formation of cells and tissues, red blood cells, nerve tissue, muscles, bones and teeth.
They also help to build muscles. Magnesium and iron in particular often play an important role. Our body needs iron, for example, to produce the red blood pigment that gives the blood its color. Iron is also important for a strong immune system and an alert mind, as it plays an important role in cell functions and the entire energy metabolism.
Adaptogens
Used for centuries in traditional medicine: Adaptogens. Substances that are capable of making the body more resistant to stress, whether physical, psychological or chemical. And they bring your body into balance.
Adaptogens can regulate hormonal responses to stress and promote an increased sense of well-being. Two representatives of adaptogens are contained in ginseng root and the Chinese goji berry, for example. Maca, a superfood from the Peruvian Andes, is also used as an important ingredient in many of our recipes due to its adaptogenic qualities.
