Foods and anxiety

[cez77]

Are there  foods to help relieve anxiety.? If so can anybody please tell ? That would  be a
great help

Foods high in taurine and tryptophan and B6 theoretically would help some with anxiety, but probably not enough to get rid of it.  Not enough of them could cause anxiety, however.  Nobody really understands why we have chronic anxiety or depression, so it's hard to point to a food and say there's the answer.  But if you're including herbal remedies as food, there are a great many that can help.  And there are many cultural theories -- the Chinese, for example, associate anxiety and fear with kidney weakness, so anything that strengthens the kidney would be part of a program for dealing with it.  You can go on a long time with this, if you should choose there is a lot written about nutrition and mental illness.

No not to stop anxiety all together but there are some foods to help with some symptoms like eat lots of fruit and veggies 2 3 cups of non caffeine green tea a day and a non caffeine green tea 1 hr be for bed all so drink lots of water during the day and like the above post said cut out coffee maby just one a day if you need it all so not so much  sweets and cut back on faty foods if you eat them this will not fix your anxiety alltogether but it might help with some of the symptoms

Camomile tea helps but watch out before takeing it if ur already on medicine for anxiety. Avoid caffine and really sugary foods.
