Always Worrying about Food does more harm than good. The various neurotransmitters of the body responsible for a sense of well-being and for anxiety are placed all through the digestive tract as much as they are the brain. This is a FACT. This is also why the release of stress hormones is known to also be cosmetically unfriendly. Many of you know that if you are stressed you start to hold water, become bloated, gassy, and constipated. This is very evident with individuals in contest prep where these symptoms are very noticeable. And most of you know that stress and worrying can induce these physiological responses. This mentality that has been created of right foods vs. wrong foods is as much a contributor to any food allergy/illness you think you have over anything you are actually eating. Now this is not to say some individuals don’t actually have allergies to food. The book “Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease” estimates that over 90% of people with these various food issues /digestive disorders actually do NOT have them. But the fact of the matter is that the way most of you think about diet and nutrition is what is causing most of the trouble for you with your diet and nutrition. Stop listening to all these marketers and ridiculous TV shows like Dr. OZ. Take a step back and look at things rationale and realize that if you stop overthinking and complicating your nutrition it will all be that much easier to sustain a healthy lifestyle. And you won’t have all these “symptoms”.
