Anxiety – general feeling of unease, often without a specific cause. What can you do about it? Try yoga, magnesium-rich foods, and foods rich in the amino acids GABA, tryptophan and l-theanine. Keep in mind that a healthy gut is also crucial for mental health and well being.

✨Kimchi – contains probiotics that produce the nerve-calming neurotransmitter, GABA. Enjoy it as a side dish or use as a condiment; ✨Oolong tea: contains high levels of GABA; ✨Almonds and cashews – are rich in calming magnesium and the amino acid tryptophan, which is converted to mood-regulating serotonin in the body. Ensure that you’re getting adequate amounts of ✨ zinc, vitamin c, and vitamin B5 in your diet. You may also want to consider incorporating probiotic supplements to your diet if you haven’t already.

⚠Before you make any drastic dietary changes or incorporate supplements, always check with a qualified medical professional or registered nutritionist/dietician.

✨Chipotle Peanut Stew with White & Wild Rice? – the latest addition to my recipe collection. It is super spicy but ever so flavourful. If you’re not a spice queen (or king ?) simply reduce the amount of chipotle paste you use. You can swap mushrooms with tofu, tempeh or beans. You can also enjoy the stew with quinoa, bulgur wheat or any other grain you love.
