Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental disorders in the US, affecting about 18% of the population each year. While they are treatable, less than 37% of people who have one receive treatment for it.
Plant-derived substance
Some people are opposed to taking medication – fear of side-effects and mental health stigmas – however recent studies have found that a plant-derived substance could hold the key to reducing anxiety naturally.
This substance is known as beta-sitosterol, which seems to produce a calming effect. Beta-sitosterol can be found in:
- Avocado
- Pistachios
- Almonds (other nuts as well)
- Canola oil
- Cereal and other grains.
