Banish Ailments with these Foods

Stressed or feeling anxious? Eat a banana. Not only does a banana provide a mild blood sugar boost, but it contains vitamin B6 which helps the brain produce serotonin and gets you through a crisis peacefully.

Have high blood pressure? Try eating a handful of raisins or grapes. Studies show that grape derived foods are effective in maintaining cardiovascular health and bringing down high blood pressure.

Feeling gassy or constipated? Eat 1 ½ cups of live-culture yogurt to push food more efficiently through your gastrointestinal tract.

Feeling a bit nauseous? Brew some tea and add ½ teaspoon minced or ¼ teaspoon powdered gingerroot. Ginger contains oils and compounds that suppress nausea caused by pregnancy or motion sickness and is safe with no side effects like OTC meds.

Suffering from heartburn? Brew a cup of chamomile tea, which eases digestive inflamation, gas, and spasms.

Worried about kidney stones? Fill up on apricots. Eight dried apricots contain fiber and potassium which help keep minerals from accumulating in urine and forming calcium oxalate stones.

Feeling blue? Eat tuna which contains omega-3 fats that treats mild cases of depression. Don’t like tuna, try a small plain bagel. It contains 37 grams of carbs which gives you a dose of mood boosting serotonin.
