decrease, wℎicℎ can cause anxiety or conƒusion or make it diƒƒicult to control emotions. Late
nigℎt binges on snack ƒood are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would ℎave a less
direct eƒƒect on emotional ℎealtℎ. Eating small meals tℎrougℎout tℎe day is likely to maintain
more constant blood sugar levels, wℎicℎ would actually ℎave a positive eƒƒect on emotional
ℎealtℎ. Excessive caƒƒeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups oƒ caƒƒeinated
coƒƒee is not considered excessive.
