The connection between our mental health and our physical health might seem obvious, yet so often we focus on one and not the other.

For instance, we often spend a great deal of time treating the symptoms of anxiety and panic, hoping that a full recovery will result eventually. We keep hoping we’ll find the solution that seems to out of reach. Yet we tend to ignore how we treat our bodies.

I’ve been reviewing a weight loss product and came across a snippet of information that deals with anxiety.

The book’s author, Victoria Johnson, is a fitness – aerobics – dance instructor who worked to reduce her weight after learning about the dangers her excess weight was causing her. While learning what she needed to do to reduce the weight, she stumbled on an unexpected positive result  from her program.

She was a woman who personally struggled with obesity, low blood sugar, poor self-esteem, lack of motivation. The weight loss system she devised resolved all of these issues. She did it simply by ensuring she ate the correct foods at the right times of day.

This was an interesting concept to me, because I don’t tend to think of specific types of food working better at certain times of day. Rather, I just accept the idea that eating healthy foods is good, regardless of when I eat them. The error in this thinking is clearly outlined in her “Quick Start Energy Program”.

Victoria states: “If you suffer from the following disorders you need to take a close look your diet: Low energy, headaches, depression, feeling tired all the time, anxiety, irritability, chronic PMS, water retention, frequent bloating. Food affects your mood. That’s right: food affects the way you think, the way you move, and the way you do what you do. It controls your performance.”

She explains how the foods we eat relate directly to our hormonal and biochemical levels. How our bodies respond to the food we eat changes at different times of day.

For example, one part of the day, our bodies need foods that provide energy while at other times, it needs foods that enable the body to repair itself during restful times. If we don’t get this right, our bodies won’t produce the right results.

So by eating properly and correcting our biochemical levels, we will also be able to regulate our moods and control our anxiety.

If you are overweight or just want to lose some weight, and also suffer from anxiety and stress, Victoria’s “Quick Start Energy Program“ provides excellent information on all areas of nutrition, not just weight loss.

The “diet” she has designed doesn’t require buying special or expensive foods or doing anything specific other than to ensure you eat the right foods, ensure you get some level of exercise every day, and track your progress.

She has included several tasty sample menus, food charts and an excellent explanation of this whole process of nutrition versus mental and physical well-being.

Just in case you’re wondering about how much you’ll have to restrict your diet, you’ll be glad to know her list of “acceptable” foods is quite extensive while the “unacceptable” list is considerably shorter.

She also shows you how you can eat more every day without gaining weight while giving your body the nutrition it needs.

This program is ideal for all members of the family simply as a healthy lifestyle. I was reviewing it just to benefit my readers, but now that I see what I’ve been missing in my own menus, I’m going to take her advice and follow her food lists next time I shop.

Besides, there’s this annoying midriff spread I’ve been trying to ignore. What better time to try her methods?
