Feeling sad, anxious? Maybe what is going on in the world today has you feeling a little fearful? Make sure you add some avocado into your diet! Avocados are an excellent source of many important nutrients but they also help reduce symptoms such as fear, anxiety, and sadness.

Avocados are a mood-boosting superfood that can put you in a better mood and take away your fear, anxiety and sadness.

How this superfood boosts your mood:

  • They contain stress-relieving Vitamin B complex, which has positive effects on the nervous system. Vitamin B complex helps the body make different neurotransmitters, including serotonin. Deficiency of Vitamin B complex can really affect the mood and cause the person to be in depression. 
  • They have a rich source of folate (Vitamin B9); research on it suggests that folate deficiency can lead to irrational fears and anxiety.
  • They contain Omega-3, which is a fatty acid that is good for your brain health and mood. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that helps regulate our brain’s neurotransmitters.

So, when you are feeling a little fear and anxiety, add an avocado or avocado oil into your diet!
