Whaaaaaaat how crazy, am I right? Bananas???

(Just FYI I'm in a really weird mood but I won't apologize because ALWAYS BE YOURSELF)

Bananas are actually super helpful for treating a variety of ailments, especially  anxiety.

There's a super science-y answer to why bananas work like they do involving beta blockers and androgenics so if you're interested in that, I suggest you google it or PM me for a link to an article.

But essentially, the high sodium content of bananas reduces blood pressure and adrenaline levels, which is helpful for people with anxiety or basically anyone who is stressed or nervous.

(PRO TIP: if you're a performer or have to do a presentation you're nervous about EAT A BANANA before you go on stage.)

Also, bananas contain tryptophan, which produces serotonin (a chemical you might remember from the chocolate chapter). Yay for relaxation and mood-lifting!

Finally, they contain high amounts of Vitamin B which helps calm the nervous system.

Go eat a banana!
