Rice Helps Reduce Anxiety
Anxiety disorders like panic disorders, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder lead the individuals to significant distress and dysfunction due to an unpleasant emotional state, fear.
Anxiety and panic can interfere with normal life but certain nutrients may help the body and mind to cope. The B vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, B6, biotin, pantothenic acid, B12, folic acid) are all important for the healthy functioning of the nervous system, especially the production of the key neurotransmitters that can help alleviate mild anxiety.
One good source of several of these nutrients is brown rice, which contains thiamin (vitamin B1), vitamin B6, and niacin. Thiamin is beneficial during anxiety and panic because it facilitates neurotransmitter sysnthesis, promotes healthy nerve function, and converts carbohydrates in foods into energy. Vitamin B6 helps the body to manufacture neurotransmitters such as serotonin, essential for the body to cope with anxiety and panic. And Niacin helps the body to release energy from carbohydrates, control blood sugar, and maintain proper nervous system function.
Foods that are rich in complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, brown rice, unrefined cereals and flours, and vegetables and fruits, provide your brain with a steady supply of glucose.
So here is one suggestion for feeding your brain better through the day :
Breakfast : Begin the day with a mixture of protein and complex carbohydrates: low-fat milk with whole-grain cereal and fresh fruit.
