Steess and anxiety can put you off your food but eating the right food can help you to fight off anxiety and panic attacks quickly.. But the right (healthy!) foods can often help tame mindless munching and cravings and, better yet, actually lower overall anxiety and its symptoms. Eight of our favorites:

Chocolate

High in flavonoids, which are lauded for their relaxing properties, chocolate also contains phenethylamine, a chemical that enhances your mood. The darker it is the better it is is remeber , darker choclate improves your mood!

Warm Milk

Turns out that a glass of warm milk really is calming. Studies have shown that people who drink a glass of warm milk every day are less likely to suffer from stress and stress related symptoms.

Oatmeal

Carbs help you produce serotonin, a calming hormone that helps fight anxiety’s negative effects-which is probably why many of us crave them when we’re stressed. Go with the craving and choose healthy sources. Oatmeal is high in fiber, which means that your body will absorb it slowly. In one fell swoop, you’ll prolong the serotonin boost, keeping yourself feeling full for longer (and on less) and making sure your blood sugar’s in check.

Fish

Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids-abundant in fish like salmon-can help reverse stress symptoms by boosting serotonin levels, and that an omega-3-rich diet can also help suppress the production of the anxiety hormones cortisol and adrenaline.

Sunflower Seeds

sunflower seeds produce dopamine, this is is a chemical that your brain produces when it feels pleasure.. just try and and feel the difference.

Spinach

Spinache keeps you stess free and relaxed with its magnesium content. Look at what it did for popeye!.
