Eat as naturally as you can from the earth and avoid refined processed products. Plenty of green foods lean protein and oil fish.
For stress busting supplements take magnesium, zinc, omega 3, vitamin C and finally a vitamin B complex supplement.
Finally Chew your food slowly and enjoy it if you are in a hurry you will not absorb the nutrients as your body will be concentrating elsewhere so make time to eat.
