7. Turkey
Highly known as a hearty meal for Thanksgiving, turkey is a great food option for anyone who is feeling higher than normal levels of anxiety and stress. You may have noticed that following the consumption of turkey you get a tad tired. This tired feeling is due to the protein tryptophan being released in the blood, which is a protein that helps to secrete serotonin in the body. If you are feeling a little at edge, especially during the holidays, consider eating more of this delicious food to help reduce your levels of anxiety.
