Navigating grief and trauma with practical tools and resources
Nutrition
Why consider nutrition?
In times of emotional distress, our relationship with food changes. With a stomach in knots from grief, pain, and anxiety, some forget to eat entirely. Others survive by reaching for foods that provide comfort—sugar, processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol—and emotional eating may continue for years after the initial grief or trauma. Enlisting help from community resources is an effective tool for getting eating habits back on track. Nutritional tools and information are widespread, from television chef shows and specialty cookbooks to nutritional counseling centers and online health communities.
How does nutrition promote healing?
By aiding in digestion
By fighting depression
By boosting vitamins that increase energy levels
