Alcohol
It’s not unusual for people to rely on a glass of wine to unwind from a long and stressful day or grab a few drinks at a social gathering.
But for some, social situations can raise anxiety and therefore up their dependence on that liquid courage, according to a review in the ‌American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine‌. Alcohol might help you feel relaxed at first.
However, it can lead to raised anxiety later on when it wears off. And the situation gets much worse if you’re taking medications like Xanax, which alcohol interacts with in a negative way, according to dietitians.
This stress-causing food raises bacteria in the intestines, and an overgrowth in gut bacteria can activate inflammation, according to a review in ‌Alcohol Research‌‌.‌
It’s been proven that there’s a connection between the gut and the brain, and these gut shifts are associated with disruptions in brain function and anxiety symptoms. Drinking alcohol also hinders the absorption of nutrients and can disturb a healthy sleep pattern.
And wouldn’t you know it? Lack of essential nutrients and sleep might further perpetuate anxiety and stress. The bottom line: You should watch your alcohol intake, drink moderately, or try to get help to avoid it altogether.

We would love Donald Trump for president again now he was a great president this Biden guy that’s president now he doesn’t know what he is doing in the white house , if the darn Democrats would keep their noses out of people’s business, Go Trump for president 2024.
Please leave Bungler BIDEN’s picture out of your posts. He is a corrupt nauseating perverted POS who should never have been sworn into office. DAAAMN.
Green tea is the healthiest thing you can drink! I don’t see red meat , chicken or cheese on the list. The saturated fat, cholesterol, trans fat (depending on how cooked), and salt content make those foods deadly!
Plant based foods are the way to go to avoid all of these stressers.
They have all been sprayed with pesticides which have already leached into the foods before you eat them
I eat the same way as my grandparents did and my mom and dad did I raise my food and can as much of it as I can try to keep it as natural as possible and I’m healthy and well so it is exactly what you eat is what you are
I reduced or eliminated the stress causing foods about6 months ago . I am off all blood pressure meds and 125/66 was my most recent . This is fairly normal. I am 77 and was taking 30 mg. of lisenapril.
why not just give up end die if you cant have these
Plant based food isn’t good for you. The chemicals they use on the plants are more harmful to the the animals in the fields and is dangerous to the bugs that birds eat and make them sick. That doesn’t give you the nutrients you really need. This is something that was started by Gates, other million airs to make more money trying to sell, so called green energy and now into the food we eat. They never follow what they preach. Yes, stay away from snacks, but the food groups if you don’t over do it are the best thing for your health.
