By choosing foods, people able simultaneously improve their nutrition reduce levels, both have the potential disparities among chronically stressed populations. The present study tested efficacy for improving psychophysiological recovery. A sample low-income (N = 129) were randomly assigned consume grapes), chips), or no after exposure laboratory stressor. Throughout, we measured participants' responses, including self-reported rumination, autonomic nervous system activation electrodermal activity (EDA), heart rate variability (HRV)) neuroendocrine responses salivary cortisol). We compared recovery trajectories by condition found significant group differences (p 0.12 stress; p 0.92 EDA; 0.22 HRV, 1.00 Participants all conditions showed decreases cortisol post-stressor (ps < 0.01), but rates decline did not differ food, brief no-food waiting period). Although null, results important because they challenge widely-held assumption help decrease stress.
