Stress & Anxiety Busting Foods

Follow along with this 10-Day post series and check out the link in my bio for the full post.

When you’re stressed out and/or anxious, the foods that you’re turning to are most likely going to be traditional ‘comfort’ foods – think big meals, take-out, fatty foods, sweet foods, and alcohol. Let’s face it – we’ve all found some comfort in a tasty meal and or glass of wine when we’ve been stressed out or upset about something. However, this isn’t a good permanent solution.

When you’re turning to unhealthy foods/drinks you can feel better temporarily, but in the long run, you will feel worse. When your body isn’t getting the right nutrition, you can begin to feel less energetic, more lethargic, and in some cases less able to concentrate and focus. All of this can lead to even more stress and anxiety and then it becomes a vicious cycle and snowball effect.

Foods that Fight Stress & Anxiety

So many things are going on in the world right now that are out of our control, so if you’ve been feeling more stressed out or anxious than usual lately, you’re not alone. It’s also important to know what you CAN do and this can start with what food you choose to put in your body. You are in CONTROL of what you put in your mouth. Knowing which foods are best to choose and which to avoid are important when it comes to combating stress and anxiety and helping you to deal with feelings of stress and anxiety. The best way to fight this is to have a healthy, balanced diet which includes a moderate amount of each of the different food groups.

Filling up on foods such as whole grains, leafy vegetables, and lean proteins as the basic staples of the diet is the best way to ensure that your body gets the optimum amounts of nutrients to fight both physical and mental health problems. When it comes to choosing the foods to eat, some have a range of great properties which help the body to combat stress. Choosing these stress-busting foods will help to heal and calm your mind permanently, rather than providing a temporary fix.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be posting a new food each day to help combat stress and anxiety in my 10 day series.
