The Science
This food is high in refined carbohydrates and sugar (+12% DV), which can cause rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes, potentially worsening anxiety symptoms. While it provides some magnesium (+7% DV) and iron, the high sodium (+18% DV) and low fiber (2.3g) relative to calories do not support stable mood regulation.
Recommendation
Avoid cinnamon-raisin bagels for anxiety; choose whole-grain, low-sugar options with higher fiber and magnesium instead.
