Dr Weil, famous for his health and nutrition advice, said the following about fighting anxiety: "Sip green tea." The reason: The amino acid L-theanine, which gives green tea its unique flavor, also has calming effects. Studies show it increases alpha brain waves, which are linked to increased relaxation. He suggests drinking green tea throughout the day and says not to worry about "the jitters." Green tea is naturally lower in caffeine than regular or black tea and L-theanine seems to neutralize the caffeine effect. Decaf green tea is fine, too.
