Social anxiety is an emotion characterized by a discomfort or a fear when a person is in a social interaction that involves a concern of being judged or evaluated by others. But now there may be a simple solution. And it's pickles.

Recent research from Virginia's College of William and Mary and the University of Maryland shows that eating fermented food - such as yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchi - markedly reduces social anxiety.
