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.
Cortisol stimulates the appetite and cravings for sweet calorie dense foods and foods high in carbs. So if you have high levels of cortisol in your body over a long period of time, the chances are you are going to want to eat fatty and high calorie food.
