Are there any foods that will help reduce anxiousness?

Question

I've heard ones increasing anxiousness, but do any help reduce it?

Answer 1

warm milk, turkey, chamomile tea

You can try Valerian Root Supplements--in the vitamin aisle of most stores. If you'd rather go with something weaker, try Sleepytime Extra Tea with Valerian.

Answer 2

Aconitum napellus: A panic attack that comes on suddenly with very strong fear (even fear of death) may indicate this remedy. A state of immense anxiety may be accompanied by strong palpitations, shortness of breath, and flushing of the face. Sometimes a shaking experience will be the underlying cause. Strong feelings of anxiety may also occur when a person is just beginning to come down with a flu or cold.

Argentum nitricum: This remedy can be helpful when anxiety develops before a big event: an exam, an important interview, a public appearance or social engagement. Dizziness and diarrhea may also be experienced. People who need this remedy are often enthusiastic and suggestible, with a tendency toward peculiar thoughts and impulses. They often crave sweets and salt (which usually make their symptoms worse).

Arsenicum album: People who are deeply anxious about their health, and extremely concerned with order and security, often benefit from this remedy. Obsessive about small details and very neat, they may feel a desperate need to be in control of everything. Panic attacks often occur around midnight or the very early hours of the morning. The person may feel exhausted yet still be restless—fidgeting, pacing, and anxiously moving from place to place. These people may also have digestive problems or asthma attacks accompanied by anxiety.

Calcarea carbonica: This remedy is usually indicated for dependable, solid people who become overwhelmed from physical illness or too much work and start to fear a breakdown. Their thoughts can be muddled and confused when tired, which adds to the anxiety. Worry and bad news may agitate them, and a nagging dread of disaster (to themselves or others) may develop. Fear of heights and claustrophobia are also common. A person who needs this remedy is often chilly and sluggish, has a craving for sweets, and is easily fatigued.

Chamomile is said to work too.

“A sound mind in a sound body.” In short, when you take good care of your body you mind works better.
And, what is good care od your body?. Here is where most peolple disagree, but I would say:
·Do alt least 30 minutes per day of exerceise. Exercise that makes you sweat.
·There are foods that make you nervous and fat, they are called carbohydrates. That is sugars, grains, sodas, crackers, sweets, etc.
·There are foods that make you feel in peace: omega 3 fats.

I don't know of any food that can help relieve anxiety, but I've heard of using food to help coap with anxitiousness, and other emotions. Food may not be the answer here.
