No matter how often you go on a date, one just gets anxious every time like it is the first time. That is the beauty of dating and the mind cannot comprehend nor contain the excitement of spending time with a companion.

It is always more convenient to pop a cookie or a chocolate when one is anxious. One tends to eat more when stressed or anxious. To make dating more enjoyable, it is better to unwind and de-stress with foods that help one to relax and not pile on unnecessary calories either.

Food that Make You Less Anxious before Dating

The best drink to relax the mind is a glass of milk. Milk is known to contain Tryptophan. Ice cream is also known to have the same effect but it must be low in sugar content so as not to consume unnecessary calories.

Eggs are a great source of amino acids and tryptophan. Remember to eat it hours before you go else you will be relaxed but your date will get turned-off with the pungent odor.

Cheese is loaded with proteins and has a calming effect on the brain. Cottage cheese, cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss and Ricotta are known to contain tryptophan.

Honey in its natural form relaxes the mind and body as well. The potassium in the honey has a soothing effect on the brain and nerves which relaxes you.

Nuts and seeds are a good option to munch on before going on a date. The Vitamin B keeps you relaxed and keeps the stomach full too so it does not grumble.

Last but not the least is dark chocolate which must contain at least 70% cocoa. All these foods contain Tryptophan which induces production of serotonin (the feel good hormone) and help you relax almost instantly. The relaxing effect on the brain ultimately makes dating more exciting and fulfilling.
