Food Is Medicine

Whether you believe it or not, your choice of foods can work for you or against you. Every time you select a food to eat, you are also choosing how you wish to feel. There is great power in using foods correctly and it is something everyone should be aware of, for healthy living and a true sense of well-being.

If one habitually snacks on simple sugars, such as hard candies, jelly beans, gummy candies, or sweet sodas. they are setting themselves up for future episodes of anxiety. Blood sugar levels immediately spike, resulting in an initial euphoria, and in about 30 minutes plummet, creating a crash in blood sugar levels and mood.

Sugar substitutes are equally as harmful as they often create anxiety reactions and quickly spike blood sugar levels.

Eating correctly is not always eating correctly for anxiety conditions. Just because a food is low in fat or high in vitamins does not mean it is maintaining good levels of serotonin (the feel good chemical) in the brain and warding off episodes of anxiety.

Too many processed and refined sugary foods deplete serotonin levels in the brain as well. The tension a diet high in sugar creates in the body also lowers serotonin levels.

The goal is to feel well, work at top form, sleep soundly and enjoy life. The proper foods will eliminate anxiety, feelings of brain fog (depersonalization) and depression. Learning to use foods correctly is the key to taking full control of your life again. The interesting side of this is that the foods you require are already in your own kitchen. You just have to learn to use them correctly!
