When you’re feeling anxious, reach for the guacamole.

Avocados are loaded with B vitamins, which aid in healthy nerves and brain cells. It’s theorized that a lack of vitamin B can trigger anxiety.

Even though caffeine can increase anxiety, a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the amino acid L-theanine, found in green tea, helps the brain produce more seratonin and may reduce anxiety symptoms.
3. And if green tea isn’t your thing, opt for chamomile.

A 2008 study found that omega-3s help reduce inflammation in the brain and ease anxiety. So load up on yummy omega-3-rich foods like walnuts, flax seeds, sardines, salmon, and cauliflower.
5. Eggs (but how you have them cooked is up to you!)

Foods that are found with probiotics, like yogurt, soft cheeses, and even sourdough bread, have been linked to lowering anxiety.
7. Beef, because it’s rich in vitamin B

There’s a relationship between a lack of B vitamins and mood, so make sure to eat foods rich in B, like beef, leafy greens, and legumes.
8. Whole wheat grains (READ: carbs)

That’s right! Carbohydrates release seratonin, which will boost your mood and reduce anxiety. Just go for the whole wheat, which will take more time to process and release feel good seratonin over a longer period of time.
BRB, this whole grain pasta won’t eat itself!
