Did you know certain foods can increase anxiety, irritability, and anger?

What if changing your diet could help melt away these unpleasant emotions?

You require a myriad of nutrients in the right amounts for your brain and moods to function harmoniously.

Those blends of natural nutrients are critical and readily available when you eat a diet rich in whole foods such as leafy greens, raw veggies, nuts/seeds, legumes, and most foods that do not come in wrappers or boxes!

Foods that cause irritability, anger, or anxiety include:

• fast foods
• highly processed or refined foods
• white flour
• white sugar

Eating these foods daily can trigger dramatic shifts in blood sugar, which impacts moods, and can even lead to dysglycemia (blood sugar imbalances) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Hypoglycemia and blood sugar issues have been linked to anxiety, increased irritability, aggression, alcoholism, violence, and even mental illness.

When foods are highly processed or refined, scores of nutrients are commonly removed – and yet only a small percentage or so are put back via ‘enriching.’

That's like borrowing $1000, but only giving back $100. Part of the critical nutrients that vanish are critical micro-nutrients essential for proper brain, emotion and organ function.

The enriched nutrients put back into processed foods are also typically synthetic and made in a lab instead of naturally occurring.

Let’s take a look at how critically ONE vitamin can affect you to help you understand this impact fully - again, remember that not just one but scores of nutrients often disappear in the processing of foods:

In the book FOOD & Behavior by Dr. Barbara Reed Stitt, she references a 1994 article by Dr. Bruce West published in Health Alert talking about “Violence in America” and how “what we consume can easily induce violent and irrational behavior.”

As one simple example, they cite how “vitamin B deficiency causes violence.”

From a biochemistry textbook, she provides the symptoms of vitamin B deficiency including:

• fear
• fatigue
• depression
• paranoia
• confusion
• hostility
• rage
• anxiety

Given the increasing amount of anger, irritability, and even violence we are seeing these days, it’s essential to take a more serious look at the foods you choose to eat.

Not just for your own happiness, but because the foods you choose to buy is a vote with your money that tells manufacturers what to make.

If enough people stop buying a food, then they stop selling it. It’s simple business. Vote for a happier society by purchasing more natural, less processed foods.

Natural Emotional Care has been scientifically shown to reverse anxiety, stress, fatigue, and a myriad of other challenges. Today, millions suffer from anxiety, stress and fatigue because they don't understand that foods affect emotions - specific nutrients and foods act in the body as natural emotional care.

Just like skin care is critical to the beauty of your face, daily emotional care can make a huge difference in reducing stress, anxiety, fatigue and improving how you feel.
