Looking for ways to reduce stress? Many healthy foods offer a subtle side effect – they help reduce stress. Carolyn Snyder is a registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic.

Avocados are packed with potassium, which helps lower blood pressure, and pistachios and walnuts can have the same effect. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, help keep stress hormones at bay as well. And Snyder says to try some Thanksgiving dinner if you’re feeling stressed.
