Do you have a tendency to bottle up emotions and burying them thinking it will make you feel better?
Do you indulge in eating comfort foods those foods high in sugar and carbohydrate starches like cakes, pastries, donuts, potato crisps, lollies, etc when you feel stressed, anxious and/or depressed to make you feel better? Let me explain something that might help those that do and prevent serious illness from occurring! Suppression of emotions impact on nitric oxide production and puts the body in fight/flight/freeze states! When these states are experienced during times of stress, anxiousness and/or depression those comfort foods you eat do not supply positive energy! They exacerbate the feelings of stress, anxiety and depression by causing imbalances to the neurotransmitters in the brain which leads to inflammation! This sets of an inflammatory cycle which triggers hypersensitivity reactions to certain foods, those very comfort foods you indulge in! With these reactions that are occurring and the constant indulgence of foods high in sugar and carbohydrate starches i.e. gluten this can lead to several nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin B1, B3, and B6; vitamin C; Zinc; Selenium; Tryptophan; Magnesium; Calcium; Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids just to name a few and many more nutritional deficiencies and potentially also lead to chronic disease states such as an autoimmune disorder if left untreated! If this sounds like you or you experience frequent stress, anxiety and/or depression and are not sure how to stop bottling up and burying your emotions then please consider making an appointment so you can get your health and life back on track the holistic way! |
