Summary of Transcript:
The food we eat can have a significant impact on our brain and levels of anxiety. Foods that increase the production of gamma immunofuteric acid, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, can help calm our brain and reduce anxiety. Salmon, green tea, and fermented foods like kefir and sauerkraut are some of the foods that have been found to improve heart rate variability, lower subjective anxiety scores, and independently predict lower levels of anxiety and neuroticism. The nutrients and compounds in these foods, such as vitamin D, omega-3s, theanine, EGCG, galanin, serotonin, and short chain fatty acids, help regulate the gut-brain axis and modulate neuroinflammation, cortisol levels, and cell preservation. Adding these foods to our diet can provide some relief from anxiety and improve our overall mental health.

Anxiety is a common emotional state that can affect anyone at any time. It can create tension, nervousness, and feelings of unease. But the good news is that there are foods you can eat to help reduce anxiety. In this article, we will delve more into five foods that can help soothe anxiety and ease nervousness.
Salmon
Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps reduce inflammation in the brain, which is a significant factor for developing anxiety. It also boosts the production of serotonin – a neurotransmitter that soothes the mind and cools off emotional responses. Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3. Eating salmon twice a week can help in reducing anxiety.
Green Tea
Green tea is a healthy beverage that has been known to improve general well-being. L-theanine, an amino acid that is present in green tea, works by regulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that slows down nerve firing, reducing anxiety levels and enhancing sleep quality.
Fermented Foods
Fermented foods like pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut, and miso are rich in probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that aid in digestion and boost immunity. They also increase the production of short-chain fatty acids that help lower anxiety levels. Incorporating these foods into a regular diet as side dishes or snacks can help reduce anxiety levels and enhance gut health.
Dark Chocolate
The sweetness and richness of dark chocolate can help in the release of mood-boosting neurotransmitters, resulting in an overall feeling of calmness and happiness. Dark chocolate is also high in magnesium, which is crucial in regulating the body’s responses to stress. Additionally, it enhances the production of endorphins – hormones that help reduce pain and stress.
Fasting
Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern that involves periods of fasting followed by periods of eating. It does not only help in weight loss but also improves brain health. The reduction of glucose levels during fasting stimulates the production of ketones, which are used by the brain as an alternative source of energy. This results in improved brain function, mental clarity, and reduced anxiety levels.
Conclusion
In summary, living a healthy lifestyle by incorporating the five foods mentioned above can do wonders in easing anxiety levels. It is essential to note that while these foods can help manage symptoms, it is not the only solution. It is also advised to seek professional medical help if symptoms persist.
