5Refined Carbohydrates
Refined carbs, which have been removed of micronutrients and fiber, are linked to a higher risk of many health issues, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and depression. Some studies have shown that a high consumption of refined grains may cause symptoms of anxiety, especially in women. To reduce the risk, it is better to limit the consumption of foods made from refined carps in the diet. These include pasta, sodas, pastries, white rice, white bread, break cereals, as well as processed meals and snacks. Instead, go for breads and cereals made of sprouted or whole wheat. It would be also very healthy to consume some high-carb grains. For those who follow a gluten-free diet, try pasta or breads made of quinoa, oats, or brown rice. [7]
