What to eat to avoid worrying over trifles: these foods help reduce anxiety levels
Our diet has a direct impact on our mental state, so it is important to choose foods that contain fatty acids, vitamins and healthy carbohydrates.
In addition, food helps cope with anxiety, as Israeli scientists have discovered.
They listed foods that naturally reduce stress levels.
These include plant foods that contain beta-sitosterol, according to researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
This substance is found in large quantities in avocados, almonds, pistachios, cereals and rapeseed oil.
The studies were conducted on mice, where beta-sitosterol had a calming effect both on its own and in combination with antidepressants.
At the same time, those subjects who received “pure” beta-sitosterol did not experience side effects from the drugs, which included fatigue and weight gain.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for a person to obtain the necessary dose of this substance from food alone, but this is only an assumption, since scientific work is still ongoing.
