5 Foods To Avoid When Angry To Stress, Can Make Conditions Worse

JAKARTA - When angry or stressed, many people unknowingly seek escape through food. In fact, not all food is suitable for consumption in an unstable emotional condition. Some types of food can actually worsen the mood, make us even more restless, easily offended, and even difficult to control ourselves.

Archana Singhal, a counselor, family therapist, and member of the Coukoles Council of India and WICCI NPWC, gave her views on food that should be eaten and avoided when angry.

"It has become a common habit to find food through anger. Even though our stomach is full, we still eat. The real thing that actually happens is that the food we consume when we are stressed only fills mental voids, not physical needs. This can have a negative impact on the health of the inner body," said Archana, quoted from the Healthshots page.

He also added that eating in an angry condition can cause excessive eating habits, which risk causing digestive problems such as diarrhea, bloating, and rising stomach acid. Here are 5 foods that should be avoided when angry.
