Introduction
When we feel less stressed our skin glows more. Let’s learn to eat to feel and look beautiful. Chow down stress with chili. I found this yummy hearty recipe that is especially good on cold days. This Chili Bowl is protein-rich which is full of iron and vitamin B3. Iron and vitamin B3 help the production of serotonin which makes you feel happier. Vitamin B3 also helps the body to access energy from the food you eat. An iron filled diet has many benefits. Iron is great for increasing energy, muscle function, a healthy immune system, regulating hormones, and boosting the reproductive system.
