The Science
This food is high in refined carbohydrates (22% DV) and sugar (13% DV), which can cause rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes, potentially worsening anxiety symptoms. It also contains high sodium (16% DV), which may contribute to elevated blood pressure and stress responses. The modest protein and fiber (10.6g and 2.5g) are insufficient to offset these negative effects.
Recommendation
Avoid cinnamon-raisin bagels for anxiety; instead choose whole-grain, low-sugar, high-fiber options with balanced protein and healthy fats.
