Anxiety is the disease of the century and can be caused by many internal and external factors. These are natural ways to manage it effectively.

Your diet determines largely your mood: having too much sugar in your blood or too little, is stressful to your brain. Eat healthy to avoid the ups and downs in blood sugar.

- Eggs contain lecithin and choline necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system.

- Walnuts and flaxseeds as fish (especially salmon and sardines) are high in Omega 3 that reduces anxiety.

- Tea: The theanine found in tea is an anti-stress compound that induces changes in brain waves indicative of relaxation. So replace your coffee with tea.

- Oats contains tryptophan (an amino acid) like turkey and bananas. The added benefit of oats is full of vitamins B and fiber.

Now you know what to eat to control your anxiety. Do not forget to complete your anti-stress diet by doing sport that will help you eliminate the tensions.
