Studies have found that foods rich in zinc help inhibit the secretion of cortisol in our body. This mineral, which is also important for bone and immune health, is found abundantly in pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, lentils, garbanzo beans, cashews, quinoa, hemp seeds, almonds, walnuts, peas, chia seeds and broccoli.
Green and black tea also can lower cortisol, but itâs still not clear whether the positive effect on cortisol is from the chemical compounds in tea or from the calming effect when making tea. One Japanese study of women over age 50 who regularly practiced the Japanese tea ceremony found a longevity effect.
