Foods such as red and green peppers, oranges, grapefruit and kiwi are rich in vitamin C, which in high doses has antidepressant effects and improves mood, and may be helpful in treating stress-related disorders, such as chronic pain. Other research has revealed that vitamin C may help reduce anxiety among high school students.
To boost your vitamin C intake, aim to include one vitamin C-rich food with a meal, and another for a snack. You could also try one of my favourites: dark chocolate-dipped kiwis or oranges for dessert!
