It turns out that there is "anti-stress" food. Eating such food helps reduce anxiety and nervous tension.

Oranges

They are high in vitamin C, a compound that helps reduce the effects of stress on the body.

Of course, a similar effect is achieved by consuming other sources of ascorbic acid: grapefruit, currants, kiwi, cabbage.

Buckwheat porridge

This side dish is a source of B vitamins, which have a positive effect on the nervous system.

Including buckwheat in your diet increases the chances of reducing anxiety levels.

Bananas

As a result of eating this fruit, the body will receive vitamin B6, which is important for the production of serotonin.

The latter is often called the “happiness hormone”.

Bananas are also good because they are a source of potassium, a microelement that is important for the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Blueberry

This berry contains antioxidants that help reduce stress levels.

Dark chocolate

Eating this delicacy helps improve your mood and relieve anxiety.
