Dietitian Elena Solomatina told what foods increase the level of anxiety.
According to the expert, foods containing caffeine have a stimulating effect on the body. Thus, they increase anxiety, so they should not be abused.
“This is coffee, strong tea, chocolate. On the one hand, it seems that chocolate, on the contrary, soothes, since it also contains theobromine in its composition. Nevertheless, in some people, it can increase excitability, ”said the nutritionist for Moscow 24.
Those who eat a lot of sugar experience spikes in blood glucose levels, which can also lead to anxiety, the doctor says.
Salty foods retain fluid in the body and increase blood pressure, which can also lead to anxiety, the expert says. According to Solomatina, preservatives also have a detrimental effect. “Monosodium glutamate in small amounts stimulates the nervous system, but in large quantities, due to constant stimulation, it depletes it,” explains the specialist.
The use of trans fats also has a negative effect, the nutritionist continues. “Let’s say french fries that are fried in oil. As a result, the substance acrylamide is formed, which, as a carcinogen, begins to destroy our cells. And including the cells responsible for the nervous system. Because our nervous system is the most vulnerable place, ”the nutritionist emphasized.
