If you're an anxious person, or you often have some nervous situations, then you might also experience sickness and appetite loss.

While sometimes it's easier just to skip your meal, sometimes you have to eat something – so what can you do?

Here are a few ideas on how to eat something when you can't, but have to.

Choose Light Foods

Opt for easy-to-digest foods like crackers, plain rice, or plain toast. 

These are gentle on your stomach and can be easier to handle.

Sip on Clear Liquids

Drink clear liquids like water, herbal tea, or clear broth. 

Sipping on these can help keep you hydrated and might be easier on your stomach than heavy or sugary drinks.

Avoid Strong Smells

Strong smells can sometimes make nausea worse. 

Try to eat in a well-ventilated area and avoid cooking or being around strong odors.

Take Small Bites

Instead of large meals, go for small, frequent bites. 

This can be less overwhelming for your stomach and might be more manageable.

Ginger Helps

Ginger is known for its soothing properties. 

Consider trying ginger tea or ginger candies, as they may help ease feelings of nausea.

Listen to Your Body

Pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods. 

If something doesn't feel right, it's okay to skip it and try something else.

Rest After Eating

Give yourself some time to rest after eating. Lying down or taking a short walk may help you feel better.

Previously, we talked about cooking saute.
