Let’s start with food. The experts advise us to avoid sugar, gluten, and processed foods. You may add a lot of dark green, leafy vegetables to your diet to help your body produce mood-regulating neurotransmitters namely serotonin and dopamine . You may also eat blueberries that contain antioxidants that help fight stress, and lower blood pressure.
Eat a single serving of one quarter of an avocado to help your body to stress-proof with glutathione, lutein, beta-carotene, vitamin E, and folate. Eat salmon fir its omega-3 fatty acids that can help keep you cool and calm. You can also eat some oranges and red capsicum since they help fight oxidative stress in the body.
Eating walnuts as a snack and even as part of a meal can help reduce blood pressure increases from stress. For a quick mood stabilizer, try to eat food has low Glycemic Index (GI). GI is a measurement method to rank the carbohydrates that affects the rise of sugar levels. Also, it is advised to drink green or black tea for it helps calm frazzled nerves.

Regular exercise is also important. Psychology experts advise that jogging, walking, cycling, and dancing for 30 minutes 5 days a week can help you gain good health and emotional balance. Kangaroo Point has many parks where you can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere while exercising.
You can also take some regular time out to destress with activities like reading a book or listening to relaxing music while enjoying the view from Kangaroo Point Cliffs.
You could also participate in different activities in town. Interacting happily with other people is a great de-stressor. You can volunteer for a cause that is important to you, watch community shows, join a cycling group or a rock climbing organization that climbs the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, any of which could give you a friendly support network and a break from the daily stressors of life. It is also a great opportunity to mingle, chat, and laugh.
