FOODS FOR THE NERVOUS SYSTEM (Nervousness)


Nervousness
Definition
The nervous systems reacts disproportionately to what would be considered normal stimuli when in an excited or irritated state.
Causes
All drugs act on the nervous system and produce nervousness or aggravate it. However, in some cases they may give the impression that they provide momentary relief, although their negative effect soon reappears even more strongly. Tobacco, alcoholic beverages, coffee, or other stimulant beverages are the most common causes of nervousness and imbalance in the nervous system.
Treatment
In addition to the foods recommended here for nervousness, there are healthy habits that help combat it:
-Eat a good breakfast to avoid hypoglycemia (lack of sugar in the blood) that usually manifests itself midmorning, which can produce nervousness and irritability.
-Eat at regular hours to avoid abrupt drops in blood glucose levels.
-Get sufficient sleep on a regular basis.
-Exercise regularly, particularly walking or hiking.
