Food & Anxiety: Understanding the Link
We don’t always think about it, but what we eat can have a powerful impact on how we feel mentally. Certain foods can help calm the mind, while others may actually heighten anxiety... often without us realizing it.
Sugary treats can spike cortisol, and processed foods can throw off our gut balance, both of which may make anxiety symptoms feel more intense. Knowing how your body reacts to different ingredients is the first step toward supporting your mental wellness.
