“It was the most random thing.”
In terms of specific foods, though, Cording has a few standouts.
Find them below:
Berries
“I really got into frozen berries,” says Cording.
“I think I was just craving the antioxidants.”
See, berries are chock-full of potent antioxidants calledpolyphenols.
Plus, berries are high in vitamin C, which can play a role in stabilizing cortisol levels.
As for Cording’s choice to eat them frozen?
Well, they’re just easier to store that way.

“I couldn’t stop eating them.”
Fermented foods
Any gut-healthy food is also simultaneously brain-healthy, thanks to the gut-brain connection orgut-brain axis4.
