the studies included 370 people with anxiety disorders and 342 people without anxiety ... The clearest finding was an 8% average reduction in choline-containing compounds in the brains of people with anxiety disorders ... Good dietary sources include eggs, salmon, meat, poultry, soybeans, and some cruciferous vegetables.

    I do eat meat salmon and eggs, yet I still have anxiety. I don’t know what cruciferous means.

    [Cruciferous] is named after the Latin word for crucifix because the blossoms of these plants resemble a cross.

    Cruciferous vegetables include:

    • arugula
    • bok choy
    • broccoli
    • Brussels sprouts
    • cabbage
    • cauliflower
    • kale
    • radish
    • turnips

    They found lower levels of that in the brain, but they don't know if dietary choline or supplements will alleviate it (in a similar way, the link between dietary cholesterol and cholesterol in your blood isn't well understood).
