You will wake up your metabolism and keep it burning all day…allowing it to work for you, not against you.  EAT IT TO BEAT IT~STRESS~BE GONE! BLUEBERRIES~Powerful punch of antioxidants, making them stress~busters as well as waistline slimmers! They actually chew the fat out of your belly! A must on the organic list, frozen is best price. AVOCADO~Chock full of B vitamins for healthy nerves and brain cells. Anxiety is often linked to Vitamin B deficiency. Also avocados are full of healthy monounsaturated fat that are amazing for you, helping lower blood pressure.  ASPARAGUS~ Loaded with B vitamins including folic acid that is sure to beat depression! B complex(all essentials) vitamins are called the “happy or stress” vitamins:) MILK~ Full of protein, calcium, and B’s. All very calming for the body and blood pressure. Milk can also help relieve muscle spasms triggered by feeling tense.  SALMON~Omega 3 fatty acids keep cortisol and adrenaline from spiking. #1...
