Did you know that if you have food sensitivities, known or unknown, they can trigger anxiety? I’m talking moments of minor anxiety to full on panic attacks.
Common triggers can be:
- Eggs
- Gluten
- Dairy
- Peanuts
- Sugar
While a food allergy is an immune response, a food sensitivity is digestive. If you don’t deal with the problem, over time it will affect your gut health. Because the gut and brain are connected, it can then trigger anxiety.
So if you want to reduce your anxiety, you need to address your food sensitivities.
Maybe you’ve tried everything under the sun to manage your anxiety. You’re frustrated and confused over what to do because nothing’s worked. That’s why I put together this article.
How to reduce anxiety by addressing food sensitivities
I’ve got a free 10 Supplements to Better Digestion Masterclass happening July 16. Healthy digestion is critical to reducing anxiety. So this is a great free resource to help you out. Save your seat!
Avoid Trigger Foods
The first thing I’d advise is that you get tested. A food sensitivity test will tell you exactly what foods you need to avoid. This will help protect your gut, manage inflammation, and reduce anxiety.
And you’ll never regret investing in this informative test!
Support Gut Healing
Individuals with anxiety often have gut dysbiosis or a leaky gut. Food sensitivities altar the gut bacteria balance and aggravate the gut lining. Supporting the healing and maintenance of a healthy gut is critical to reducing anxiety.
But a healthy gut starts with addressing your food sensitivities first.
Manage Inflammation
Anxiety is often triggered by inflammation. The more chronic the inflammation, the worse the anxiety. Food sensitivities cause an inflammatory response in the body. So addressing your food sensitivities is essential for managing inflammation.
And taking this step will have an important effect on reducing anxiety.
