To show how nutrition can help calm us, Llinos Connolly at Benenden Health has shared which foods can worsen anxiety. She explains that the best way to reduce anxiety through your diet is by eating healthy, balanced meals.
She cautions: “When you are feeling anxious it’s common to feel nauseous which can put you off eating altogether. However, not eating enough calories a day, can actually worsen your anxiety symptoms as it makes your blood sugar levels dip.
“Additionally, there’s increasing evidence that ultra-processed foods, like cereals, processed meats and crisps, may contribute to symptoms of anxiety. So, avoiding these foods during anxious times could be beneficial." Beauty deal of the week
