There is scientific evidence to suggest the importance of a number of additional dietary factors in the management and prevention of anxiety, which include the following. To that end, I’d like to share some ways that you can manage anxiety through nutrition.

The word trauma often causes people to think that we only deal with the really big stuff, so you might think that what you’re dealing with isn’t really big enough to go to counselling with. And yet nothing could be further from the truth.

Although often overlooked, more and more research is finding evidence to support a strong link between dietary habits and symptoms of anxiety. Your diet may not be the underlying cause of your anxiety, however, there is evidence to support that adjusting your eating habits can play a significant role in the management of your anxiety symptoms, in turn enabling you to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Learn how your nutrition can impact your anxiety, and which foods to limit or avoid to help manage your symptoms.
