Anxiety causes a mess of emotions and still reflects on health. When in excess, it triggers the feeling of unease and prevents you from living life with more lightness and without so much anguish in relation to what is still to come. Gluttony attacks are also credited to it.

There are treatments and therapies to control anxiety, but did you know that food can also help tame this internal hurricane? Some foods contain essential amino acids and vitamins, which act directly on reducing stress, fighting anxiety and increasing levels of serotonin, responsible for well-being and relaxation.
