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.
The report, which was published in the June 2003 issue of the journal âDiabetes & Metabolism,â revealed that subjects taking fish oil for three weeks experienced lower cortisol levels on a mental stress test compared to subjects receiving a placebo. Omega-3 rich foods include halibut, salmon, walnuts and canola oil.
