What you put into your body matters-foods and drinks!

Yes, I know you probably have heard it before that having a good diet will indeed lessen your anxiety. It is a “Duh” statement. Well, not entirely does this always lessen anxiety, it just allows your body to better cope with it. You have to have a good and clean canvas before you can actually paint right? So, same reasoning applies here. Eating certain foods and drinking things that aren’t caffeinated can go along way, it can help give you that clean canvas to deal with your anxiety. What you eat can have more affect on the anxiety you are dealing with than you may know. The worser your diet the harder it is to deal with anxiety you are facing. Eating certain foods such as foods that contain a lot of sugars or drinks that are sugary is like rubbing salt into a wound.
