Food As Medicine: What To Eat To Cure Everything From Anxiety To Dull Hair by MRMICKMEN: 3:50am On Aug 05, 2013
LACK OF FOCUS

The Solution
Eggs - one daily.

The Science
Eggs are packed with choline, a nutrient that boosts the brain's ability to relay commands to the rest of your body while also maintaining the structure of your brain's cell membranes.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

The Solution Garlic - one to two cloves daily, in food.

The Science
Crushed garlic contains allicin, a compound that can decrease blood pressure and improve blood flow, which may lead to a harder erection.

MEMORY LOSS

The Solution
Sunflower seeds - a quarter cup daily.

The Science
These vitamin E-loaded seeds will protect the neurons in your brain from oxidative stress, which means you keep your memory longer.

WEAR MUSCLES

The Solution
Apples - one daily.

The Science
Leave the peel on-it's full of ursolic acid, which fuels the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) and insulin, two hormones important in building muscle.

AGING SKIN

The Solution
Oranges - one daily, or six ounces of juice.

The Science
Vitamin C helps your body make collagen, the protein that keeps skin elastic.

INSOMNIA

The Solution
Chicken - four ounces daily.

The Science
Tryptophan is often associated with turkey, but chicken contains more of the amino acid that helps the body produce the sleep-friendly hormone melatonin.

DEPRESSION

The Solution
Brown rice - one cup of cooked rice daily.

The Science
Carbs help regulate the production of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in controlling mood and suppressing anxiety. A complex carb like brown rice will give you the best high-carb-low-cal combo.

PUFFY EYES

The Solution
Green tea - one cup daily, after a meal.

The Science
The puffiness that creates dark circles under your eyes is often caused by fluid retention. Green tea is a diuretic that'll reduce unwanted swelling all over your body.

LOW ENERGY

The Solution
Bananas - one daily.

The Science
The potassium-packed fruit is also a great source of magnesium, a key element in producing and storing energy.

ANXIETY

The Solution
Peanuts - a quarter cup daily.

The Science
If you're not producing enough gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), your brain is more prone to let anxiety run wild. Peanuts are one of the best (and tastiest) sources of glutamine, the amino acid needed to make GABA.
