Lately I’ve noticed that whenever I’m stressed, I either skip meals or grab the quickest sugary snack I can find. It gives me a quick boost but then I crash and feel even more anxious. I’ve read that food can either fuel stress or help calm it down, and I’d love to make better choices. Has anyone here tried specific foods or meal routines that actually helped them feel more balanced during stressful times?

What stood out to me was how much hydration impacts stress levels. I didn’t realize how being slightly dehydrated could make me feel more irritable. Once I started keeping a water bottle nearby and cutting down on processed snacks, I noticed I was calmer even on busy days.
I used to rely on coffee and sweets during stressful weeks, and it always left me drained. What really helped was swapping them for whole grains and foods rich in magnesium, like spinach and nuts. They gave me steady energy without the jittery feeling. I also started eating smaller meals more regularly instead of big heavy portions. When I was learning more about it, I came across https://morkare.com.au/ , which explained how balancing blood sugar plays a big role in mood and stress. That completely changed how I looked at food choices.
