Avocados are rich in B vitamins like thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, which are nutrients that play a vital role in brain health and mood regulation. Deficiencies in these vitamins are often linked to higher levels of anxiety and stress. By incorporating avocados into your diet, you’re not only fueling your body with healthy fats and fiber but also giving your brain the nutrients it needs to stay balanced, offering a natural way to support your mental well being.
