Anxiety
Occasional anxiety is a normal response to stressful situations but some people live in an almost perpetual state of anxiety.
Lifestyle factors are often to blame, although some people also appear to inherit an ‘anxiety trait’.
Anxiety produces the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline, which can have an unsettling effect on many parts of the body, producing symptoms such as headaches, palpitation, insomnia, digestive upsets, irritability and sexual problems.
Dietary Advice To Avoid Anxiety
Tea, coffee, cola, alcohol and sugar-rich foods should be avoided. Instead, drink relaxing chamomile tea, water and fruit juices.
Foods rich in B vitamins benefit the central nervous system, so include more bananas, nuts, green vegetables and whole grains in your diet.
Honey is an natural anti-anxiety food and oats can help too; eat one bowl of porridge in the morning and another before bedtime.
