Sabina Mazo Instagram – TIPS TO CONTROL ANXIETY. 1) avoid sweeteners, Splenda, honey, syrups, if you really need to use, I recommend pure monk fruit or pure stevia. But all of them react in your body in a form to “ask for more”. 2) Redice the amount of foods you eat in a day. Eat 3 times a day and that way you avoid snacking and that way enjoy each meal properly. 3) Drink water. Sometimes we confuse being hungry with being thirsty, so maintain hydrated and if you need drink teas or coffee.
