According to Ayurveda, keeping the nervous system stable through fall is our number one tool for maintaining strong immunity and staying healthy.

Nutritional psychiatry is a more natural approach that centers on the use of food and supplements to help manage mental health conditions. It is often used as part of a complete treatment program that can include psychotherapy and other solutions. If you’re looking for ways to calm your nerves, try these 4 research-backed, anxiety-fighting foods.

1. FATTY FISH

Salmon, tuna, herring, and sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been found to calm anxiety. A 2014 study found that men who ate Atlantic salmon three times a week showed a reduction in self-reported anxiety. In a study in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, medical students who supplemented their diet with omega-3 experienced a 20% reduction in anxiety symptoms. Eat fatty fish at least twice a week for optimal brain benefits.

2. ASPARAGUS

High in potassium, fiber, the trace element chromium, and vitamins (A, C, E, and K), asparagus has strong anti-anxiety properties. In China, an asparagus extract has been government-approved as a functional food for its anxiety-reducing effects. A 2013 study suggested that asparagus extract could be considered an alternative approach for the management of anxiety disorders.

3. AVOCADOS

Rich, buttery avocados are high in B vitamins, which are involved in the production of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood. In some people, B vitamin deficiencies have been associated with an uptick in anxiety. Avocados are also rich in brain healthy fats that may also protect against anxiety.

4. FERMENTED FOODS

If you suffer from social anxiety, which is a form of the condition that makes people experience extreme fear and discomfort in social settings, think about increasing your intake of fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and kefir, which are considered probiotic foods. A 2019 review of 34 controlled clinical trials in Psychiatry Research found that probiotic foods had a significant anxiolytic effect on anxiety. Earlier research has found that probiotics are particularly helpful for social anxiety.
