A few days ago I had a really bad day seeing a friend which my anxiety was extremely high than usual, and from getting more depressed of the outcome it put me to the start which I've been trying to avoid. I knew not to dwell on it as I know from experience it puts you even deeper and worthless so I had to say to myself, tomorrow is a new day and start fresh.

Anyway, as this has happened a few times where my anxiety has gone through the roof, I tend to get it when I haven't eaten at all, or if I've missed out on breakfast/lunch that my moods and anxiety goes into chaos. The problem is, from depression I find it hard to get up early and eat breakfast which is obviously what I need to get in a habit of.

Do you find your diet very important to your anxiety day in-day out? Do you see a significant difference in moods if you don't eat?

I've read that sugar and caffeine can cause significant amounts of anxiety. If you cut out the coffee, you might get rid of muscle tension, which has a lot to do with anxiety.

Eating a balanced diet consisting of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats can help strengthen the body’s resistance to stress. These foods contain nutrients that are essential for healthy body function. Combining complex carbohydrates available from whole grains such as whole wheat bread or whole oats with protein helps to keep blood sugar levels steady, avoiding the stress of the sugar crashing cycle that can add to physical stress. Drinking plenty of water helps, too, as dehydration is just added stress to the body.
It doesn’t have to be overwhelming or exhausting to provide benefits against anxiety. Just 10 minutes of moderate exercise a day can create a more positive outlook. Choose an activity that you enjoy. Try becoming a member of a group to provide the added benefit of social interaction and fun. To see benefit, make sure to move at least 3 to 4 times a week, and remember to start small and build slowly based on your level of fitness. Overdoing it too soon can cause problems and make it hard to keep up the routine.Adopting a more physically healthy lifestyle based on balance is the key to a healthy emotional outlook and reduction in problems such as anxiety. Wellness can be looked at as a lifestyle choice, and making good decisions about diet and exercise is one way to improve the quality of life.
