5. Artichokes
Artichokes are an incredibly concentrated source of fiber and especially rich in prebiotics, a type of fiber that feeds the friendly bacteria in your gut.
Animal studies indicate that prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides (FOSs), which are concentrated in artichokes, may help reduce stress levels.
Furthermore, one study found that people who consumed 5 grams or more of prebiotics per day had reduced anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as that high-quality, prebiotic-rich diets, may reduce stress risk.
Potassium, magnesium, and vitamins C and K are all important for healthy stress response, and artichokes are high in all of them.
