You may not be aware that you can make some lifestyle adjustments to help you deal with your stress and anxiety overload. As well as getting enough rest and doing some exercise, did you know that the foods you eat can significantly impact lowering or raising your anxiety? Studies have shown that some superfoods will help to improve your mood and help you manage your anxiety better.

Here are five superfoods you can add to your diet to help lower your anxiety:

1. Chamomile

Herbalists have known about chamomile’s soothing qualities for centuries, and now science can tell us why. Chamomile contains relaxant flavonoids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories, which reduce anxiety symptoms. Try drinking chamomile tea regularly as part of your anxiety management program.

2. Turmeric

Many studies have shown that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that can reduce the oxidative stress experienced by people with mood disorders.
