The foods you put on your plate really can make a real difference when it comes to mental health issues, including anxiety disorders. Like leafy greens, oats contain high levels of soothing minerals like magnesium. According to Cynthia Sass, RD, Health’s contributing nutrition editor, just a half-cup of dry oats provides a third of the recommended daily target for magnesium. “They also provide steady, even energy and are packed with antioxidants and nutrients involved in mood regulation.”
