Stress: sort it, solve it

Snack on superfoods

If you binge on coffee and comfort-eat when you're stressed, you're just inviting the kinds of highs and lows you're trying to avoid.

Sort it: Folic acid and B-vitamins help your body manufacture mood-boosting serotonin to keep you thinking positively.

Solve it: When you're writing your shopping list, include stress-busting foods. Leafy green veg, broccoli, oranges, bananas and fortified breakfast cereals are rich in folic acid (and low-fat milk poured onto cereal adds antioxidants). Find the B-vitamins your body needs in meat, tuna, salmon and eggs.
