Just in case you're interested, bananas are meant to act as natural beta blockers (or more specifically, the potassium in bananas). I have no idea about how effective bananas are in reducing anxiety, but they might be worth a try.

You may want to give dark chocolate a go too, it's also meant to be good at reducing anxiety (as long as you only eat small amounts): http://www.livestrong.com/article/450142-how-does-chocolate-help-people-with-anxiety-problems/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/450142-how-does-chocolate-...
