Anxiety fighting foods

Food is medicine. Nourishment from certain foods can decrease symptoms of anxiety.

All foods fit. A nourishment plan consisting of only a few foods -no matter how “super” will never provide your body with all of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, electrolytes, protein, carbohydrates, fat, or water that it requires for optimization.

Our brains and bodies demand food diversity and our hearts require happiness. Find the foods that bring you health and joy for a life free of anxiety.

Nutritional psychiatry experts also recommend minimizing your intake of alcohol and caffeine to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or overuse of alcohol please contact a trusted healthcare provider for help.
