These Common Habits Make Your Anxiety Worse

Eating low-carb

Do you crave carbs when you’re sad? There could be some biological influence at play. According to the Mayo Clinic, carbohydrates are thought to increase the serotonin in your brain, easing anxiety and boosting your mood. Whole grains, such as quinoa, whole-wheat breads and pastas, and oatmeal, have essential nutrients that keep you energized throughout the day.

 

Eating a low-fat diet

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods such as salmon, walnuts, and canola oil, have been shown in studies to reduce damaging inflammation and calm down symptoms of anxiety. If you don’t get enough of these healthy fats, you will probably feel the effects. Other reasons you should eat more fat? Fats help your heart, your brain, and numerous other organs in your body to function at their best.
