Donuts, cookies, chips-there's no denying that certain high-fat and high-sugar foods are the go-to ways to self-medicate when we're stressed.

So rather than reaching for junk food the next time you're feeling frazzled, do your mind and body a favor by going for complex carbs, healthy fats or lean proteins.

These 10 healthy options have all of the nutrients you need to fend off mental and physical stress and get back to a state of bliss.
