Anxiety not only arises from our unhealthy food choices or tight circumstances. Bad eating habits can also leave you with indigestion, bloating, and cramping, and can even prevent essential nutrients that fight anxiety from being absorbed by the body. To prevent this, practice these calming eating habits: Take the time to eat slowly. Being always on the go and gulping down your food can lead to indigestion. The energy that should be spent on processing the food eaten is diverted to provide fuel as you run about.
Chew food properly. Remember that digestion starts in the mouth. Mastication or chewing for about 15 to 20 times a mouthful, helps break down the food into simpler, easily digestible components.
Drink just enough fluid during mealtimes. Drinking too much will neutralize the stomach acids, so digestion takes longer than usual. It also makes you feel bloated longer.
Eat just enough to satisfy your hunger. Do not eat until you are too full. Eating just the right amount will help you breathe easier without feeling bloated.
Anxious or not, you should always eat the right foods the right way. You’ll be rewarded with calmness and collectedness before an all-important speech and steady nerves and a sharp mind before a critical test.
