13．While there are many different approaches for dealing with stress，arming your body with mood-improving food is one of the most basic places to start．Try adding the following foods to your diet 一 and step

1．Eggs
Rich in protein，eggs also provide calcium，iron，zinc，selenium，phosphorous，and vitamins A，D，E，and K，making them one of the most nutritional foods around．Drew Ramsey，author of The Happiness Diet，praises nutrient-rich foods for battling stress and notes that eggs are part of his favorite anxiety-reducing breakfast．
2．Fish
Eating fish can have many benefits，including combating stress．Fish （like sardines，salmon and tuna） is rich in omega-3 fatty acids．Studies show omega-3 fatty acids help protect neurons （神經元）from harm．Omega-3 fatty acids have also been linked to helping with depression as well as encouraging more positive social behavior in children．
3．Red peppers，papaya and kiwi
They have more vitamin C per serving than oranges．Multiple studies point to vitamin C for curbing （控制）stress hormones （荷爾蒙）．As Psychology Today reports，"People who have high levels of vitamin C do not show the expected mental and physical signs of stress when subjected to acute psychological
challenges．What's more，they bounce back（彈回）from stressful situations faster than people with low
levels of vitamin C in their blood．"
4．Tea
Drinking black tea may help you recover from stressful events more quickly，notes WebMD．One
study looked at people who consumed four cups of tea daily for six weeks，and compared with people
who drank something else．At the end of the study，the tea drinkers reported feeling calmer and had
lower levels of the stress hormone after stressful situations．
5．Dark chocolate
Cocoa in chocolate can help improve the mood and support clear thinking．Studies also show dark chocolate can help people feel good and decrease stress．Not to mention，it might make you smarter．Is it
