Ok, time for some science, my friends! Today I'm talking about stress. A lot of stress is caused by the overproduction of a stress hormone called cortisol. Certain molecules found in whole foods are able to either reduce cortisol production or counteract its adverse effects. Beans are full of a compound called phosphatidylserine that can relieve stress by minimizing the effects of too much cortisol production. So if you're feeling stressed, take a few deep breaths and try out this delicious, nutritious bean dip!
