Feeling Higher Levels of Anxiety? It’s Time To Check Your Gut

If you’re feeling more anxious lately, you’re not alone. Reported symptoms of anxiety and depression rose over 5 percent during the 2020 pandemic, and it’s estimated that nearly one in  three adults in the U.S. will experience some sort of anxiety disorder in their lifetime. 

With those numbers, not many people will be too surprised to note an increase in pharmaceutical prescriptions as well; anti-anxiety drugs along with antidepressants have seen a significant increase in prescription rates over the last year, with some reporting an increase as high as 86% among prescribed psychotropic drugs in March and April.

But what if those anxiety rates could be lowered simply by making a few small (and healthy) changes in your life?

Poor Sleep Triggers More Than Bags; It Summons Pain

Pain is not a word that’s often thrown into the conversation on poor sleep, even though poor sleep can lead to muscle and joint pain.

Poor Sleep & Pain Go Hand-In-Hand

Research proves that poor sleep:

Your Family Tree Holds the Secret: Look Back to Move Forward

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” ~ Thomas Edison (1847-1931)

~

Look in your pantry. Consider the foods and drinks that form your diet. Now ask yourself, “would my furthest ancestor call what I eat food?” It’s hard to imagine that the oldest branch on your family tree would know what to do with twinkies, energy drinks, and grease-soaked fast-food wrappers.
