Nutrition plays an important role in managing anxiety by regulating neurotransmitters and blood sugar. This collection of recipes is high in magnesium, vitamin B6, iron and fiber to offer extra support during times of stress.
We know that stress and anxiety can play a huge role in the development of illness as well as our ability to prioritize our wellness in daily routines, so helping manage these feelings is key.
Low levels of vitamin B6 and iron are associated with panic attacks, magnesium regulates neurotransmitters, and fiber produces short-chain fatty acids that can alleviate stress.
My new Stress & Anxiety Support Collection is filled with fresh, vibrant recipes that prioritize these key nutrients to reduce stress and anxiety.
