The wise words of Hippocrates reflect what modern research has shown, especially when it comes to mental health. “We’re understanding more and mor...

   • Chamomile. Chamomile is an herb that may help reduce anxiety. It contains both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help lower inflammation associated with anxiety (13, 14, 15).
   • Turmeric. Turmeric is a spice that contains curcumin — a compound studied for its role in promoting brain health and preventing anxiety disorders (19, 20).

   • Fruit Juice. The fiber in whole fruit fills you up and slows down how your blood takes in energy. Without that fiber, you’re just drinking nutritious sugar-water that can quickly hype you up -- and bring you down just as fast.

   • Diet Soda. No sugar, so no problem, right? Not exactly. You may not have the energy crash that comes with having too much sugar, but diet soda may make you depressed.
   • Toast. Wait, toast?! If it's made from white bread, yes. The highly processed white flour it's made from quickly turns to blood sugar after you eat it.
