Swiss chard

You can never go wrong with leafy greens. Swiss chard is packed with magnesium, which helps to relax your nerves and muscles. It also contains a special class of antioxidants called betalains, which are known to help fight stress-related high blood pressure and high blood sugar. Steam or saute your chard in healthy fats or use as a healthy lunch base with lean proteins and plenty of varied veggies.
