Dizziness.. and orange juice (??)

[He Man]

I'm a frequent sufferer of unstable, sea-sick (subjective) dizziness..
I've basically been symptom free for several days in a row now . So I'm reviewing my habits to see what might be helping me. Sleep, diet, professional & domestic stress all about the same as always..
But I bought a rare carton of OJ, and have been drinking about 2 cups a day.

Anyone ever hear of OJ being helpful w/anxiety ? I know it's rich in folate & vitamin C. But not much online about the specific relationship between OJ & anxiety treatment. Any first-hand experience, or research links, would be helpful. Talk to me..

Found this on food / drinks that help depression and anxiety. Might be lifting your mood.

Folate is a B vitamin that gets a lot of attention for preventing the development of neural tube defects during pregnancy. More lesser known is the connection between folate and depression.
According to Harvard Medical School, folate helps break down the amino acid homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine have been linked to depression. A one-half cup of orange juice provides 25 to 39 micrograms of folate, with a recommended daily amount of 400 micrograms for adults.
The smell of citrus fruits is also being studied for its effects on mood. A 2016 study published in Frontiers in Psychology cited research where the smell of orange reduced anxiety of patients at a dental office. The authors note that if you perceive an odor to be pleasant, it may help lower anxiety.

Thanks.. I remember during my wife's pregnancies, doctors always advised her to drink OJ.
But I've never heard OJ recommended in anxiety treatment/management. Wish I could find more first hand experiments. And who knows, maybe my recent OJ drinking is completely incidental to my recent improvement.. /peace

I've never heard of OJ as being helpful with anxiety, but if you think it might help, then I say go for it!
