www.yahoo.com/health/why-eating-fish-might-lower-1254611916693558.htmlResearcher studies, published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, showed that men who regularly ate fish had a 20 percent lower risk and fish-eating women had a 16 percent lower risk of depression, compared with those who ate less fish and no fish at all.....Among their theories, spelled out in the study: The omega-3 fatty acids in fish may alter the structure of the brain’s cell membranes, or the fish’s fatty acids can impact dopamine and serotonin levels, which can lead to lowered rates of depression. www.delish.com/food/a46895/how-your-diet-can-keep-you-calm/ Dr. Uma Naidoo, who writes for Harvard Health, recommends that people who suffer from anxiety disorders follow these guidelines: *Up your magnesium intake, eating leafy green, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. In mice, she writes, diets low in magnesium caused an increase in anxiety-related behaviors, which means that diets rich in magnesium do a body good. *Eat more zinc, which means loading up on oysters, cashews, liver, beef, and egg yolks. *Fish are your friends. A 2011 study on medical students established a link between the omega-3s found in fish like wild Alaskan salmon and reduced anxiety. *Shout out to 'kraut. A recent study published in Psychiatry Research suggested that probiotic foods like pickles, sauerkraut, and kefir could lower social anxiety. *Avocado — a way of life...foods rich in B vitamins like avocado and almonds release neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
