Mid-haircut, I&#8217;m on the brink of having a panic attack\u2014until I remember the banana I\u2019ve stashed in my bag for whenever anxiety strikes.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right: For well over a year, during one of the worst bouts of anxiety I\u2019ve ever experienced, my defense was a tropical fruit. I started carrying a banana with me everywhere after a desperate Google search in mid-2021 revealed that the fruit could help alleviate anxiety. Yes, I\u2019m well aware of how ridiculous that may sound, and at the time, I was skeptical, too. But I was also down to try anything to stop having panic attacks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For well over a year, during one of the worst bouts of anxiety I\u2019ve ever experienced, my defense was a tropical fruit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For most of my life, anxiety has been like a little kid clinging to my lower leg\u2014sometimes sleepy and tame, lying dormant; other times, roaring and disruptive, trying to drag me down hard in the middle of the room for all to see. Despite having more run-ins with anxiety than I care to recount, I&#8217;ve always been determined to move through it naturally, even if that&#8217;s meant trying weird things like keeping a banana in my bag 24\/7. Admittedly, it wasn&#8217;t the most convenient thing to keep on hand.

I reveled in a much-needed deep breath. It was like waking up from a bad dream. Once again safe within my body, I hoped I could hold onto this feeling, a wish I had on most days during this period of my life.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate soothing effect of the banana was borderline unfathomable\u2014so much so, I had a feeling it couldn\u2019t <em>just <\/em>be the result of the fruit&#8217;s biochemistry (more on that below). If it was that simple to knock out a panic attack with a piece of fruit, everyone would toss out their anxiety medications and start making smoothies instead. It turns out my relief may have been as much a product of the banana\u2019s nutritional content as it was the calming power of simply knowing I had one with me, ready to wield it whenever necessary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/banana-for-anxiety\/\" current-title=\"How an Emotional Support Banana Became My Secret Weapon Against Anxiety\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Oscar-Wong-425x285_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-04-12\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/banana-for-anxiety\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/banana-for-anxiety\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/banana-for-anxiety\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Why eating bananas may help to limit anxiety<\/h2>\n<p>While it may sound far-fetched, there\u2019s some science to support the fact that bananas can help with anxiety. For starters, you might recall hearing that bananas are rich in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/potassium-benefits\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/potassium-benefits\/\">potassium<\/a>, which has given the fruit its reputation as a solution for muscle cramps: Potassium is a star when it comes to facilitating muscle contractions and healthy communication between muscles and nerves. But it can also have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system that may support mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you feel anxious, you may have too much of a hormone called adrenaline [coursing through your body], which makes your heart race and your mind feel jumpy,\u201d says registered dietitian nutritionist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/romane-guerot-rdn-49a6a1154\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/romane-guerot-rdn-49a6a1154\/\">Romane Guerot, RDN<\/a>. \u201cPotassium can keep adrenaline in check.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/natural-beta-blockers#natural-beta-blockers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/natural-beta-blockers#natural-beta-blockers\">potassium may act as a natural beta-blocker<\/a>, lowering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/JAHA.119.015719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/JAHA.119.015719\">blood pressure<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/high-blood-pressure\/changes-you-can-make-to-manage-high-blood-pressure\/how-potassium-can-help-control-high-blood-pressure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/high-blood-pressure\/changes-you-can-make-to-manage-high-blood-pressure\/how-potassium-can-help-control-high-blood-pressure\">easing tension in the blood-vessel walls<\/a> and blocking such blood-pressure-raising hormones as adrenaline. That&#8217;s a fancy way of saying, \u201cpotassium helps your heart beat steadily and your muscles work properly, including the ones involved in the anxiety response,\u201d says Guerot.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the supportive connection between potassium and heart health may have a ripple effect on mental health. A 2023 study of more than 500 people in China found that <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36924024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36924024\/\">low potassium levels correlated with higher levels of anxiety and depression<\/a>, suggesting grounds for increasing potassium intake. And given that bananas are rich in potassium (a <a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/173944\/nutrients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/173944\/nutrients\">medium one contains about 400 mg<\/a>), eating them more often might help to keep anxiety levels at bay.<\/p>\n<p>According to registered dietitian nutritionist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcanal.com\/author\/sara-chatfield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.healthcanal.com\/author\/sara-chatfield\">Sara Chatfield, MPH, RDN<\/a>, it\u2019s not<em> just<\/em> the potassium that could give bananas their anti-anxiety effect, either. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2908021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2908021\/\">Bananas are also high in tryptophan<\/a>, an essential amino acid and serotonin precursor [meaning that it\u2019s a building block of the happiness neurotransmitter], which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4728667\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4728667\/\">may help to ease stress and anxiety<\/a>,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Uncovering this wealth of research made me feel at least 10 percent more normal for carrying a banana around as a mental-health tool\u2014and yet, it&#8217;s worth noting that none of these studies point to the immediate effects of eating a banana on a panic attack. But as psychology would have it, even just<em> believing<\/em> in the power of my emotional support banana may have been enough to turn it into a bonafide anxiety solution.<\/p>\n<h2>How the placebo effect can play a role in managing anxiety<\/h2>\n<p>During the period of time when a banana accompanied me everywhere\u2014to work, on errands, and to social plans\u2014I felt more at ease just knowing I had it within reach. Sometimes, I wouldn&#8217;t even eat it (unless I actually got hungry). Many times, I did use my tropical tool to stay calm. But regardless of consumption, I came to believe I&#8217;d be alright as long as I could down a banana before a panic attack downed me.<\/p>\n<p>In medicine, this is called the placebo effect: a phenomenon that occurs when believing in the efficacy of a remedy makes us feel better, even if that remedy lacks any physiological impact. According to therapist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharibotwin.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.sharibotwin.com\">Shari Botwin, LCSW<\/a>, the placebo effect can work wonders when it comes to mitigating anxiety. \u201cWhen we take concrete steps to manage emotions that feel out of our control, it gives our anxiety less power, and it becomes less consuming,\u201d she says. In my case, the concrete step of packing a banana may have had that effect regardless of whether I ate it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen we take concrete steps to manage emotions that feel out of our control, it gives our anxiety less power, and it becomes less consuming.\u201d \u2014Shari Botwin, LCSW, therapist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s also a certain sense of psychological safety that can come with routine and predictability. \u201cCarrying around a banana, or a \u2018good-luck charm,\u2019 can serve the purpose of interrupting the anxiety spiral and providing the feeling of being protected,\u201d says therapist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avidintimacy.com\/lena\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.avidintimacy.com\/lena\">Lena Elkhatib, LMFT, CST<\/a>. \u201cThat allows anxiety to take a step back and for positive outcomes to have their chance to be realized.\u201d And the more positive outcomes occur, \u201cthe more data our brain has that positive outcomes are a <em>possibility<\/em>, helping protect against future anxiety,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>That means each time I ate a banana and had a positive outcome, my brain strengthened the association between the two, eventually leading me to feel less anxious just carrying a banana in tow. It goes to show how impactful the mind-body connection can be\u2014something that may be helpful for us all to remember when symptoms of a panic attack arise. At the end of the day, we are (and always will be) the ones in control.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding an anxiety solution that works for you<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong: If you&#8217;re taking medication for anxiety, don&#8217;t ditch it for a bunch of bananas.
