• Dark chocolate. This favorite snack contains flavanols, such as epicatechin and catechin. These plant compounds operate as antioxidants, says Healthline, and may benefit brain function and have neuroprotective effects. Flavanols are said to increase blood flow to the brain and improve cell-signaling pathways. One study involving 13,626 participants found that people who consumed dark chocolate had much lower depressive symptoms compared to those who rarely ate dark chocolate.
• Turmeric. Turmeric’s health benefits come mostly from curcumin, a chemical found in its root stalk, according to WebMD. Studies of curcumin have found that it has beneficial effects on serotonin and dopamine, brain chemicals that control mood and behavior. Curcumin may also change parts of the brain that respond to stress and protect against damage to brain cells. Adding turmeric to rice, stir-fries and soups is an excellent way to help reduce anxiety using this powerful herb.
