Find yourself questioning decisions you made – or feel like you’re constantly consumed with doubt? You’re not alone – many of us go through it from time to time, but when does constant worrying about what others think go away.
Well…when you turn 46.
A new study shows that it takes us a while to get over insecurities. Appearance is the first thing we accept, and that’s usually in our mid-30s for both men and women. After that, our career paths are next, and that’s not until we hit 40.
What takes so long? Well, it’s usually things like the desire to fit in and not make waves and just go with the flow. The confidence to being unapologetically ourselves doesn’t come right away – it takes time.
It also takes things becoming a parent, or our personal finance levels reaching a more stable point, and for many others, it takes retirement to feel confident.
So, if you’re still dealing with insecurities and worrying about what others think, you could either wait a while for it to go away on its own, or make an active effort not to worry about what others think and do what makes you feel good!

If you have leftover pizza! Listen…
You already know fiber is a necessary part of every diet. It aids in digestion, helps keep cholesterol down, and helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.
You should be getting 25-35 grams every day – but how do you know if you’re getting enough every day? There are a few signs to look for:
Being hungry all the time despite having regular meals. Fiber helps you feel full longer and our bodies don’t break it down the same way as other foods. It’s a good sign to look for.
If you feel more tired, or have low energy and feel sluggish, and coffee doesn’t cut it, you might not be getting enough fiber that works with the carbohydrates in your diet that you need to help with your blood sugar levels to avoid those spikes and crashes.
If your doctor says your cholesterol needs to get in check or your blood pressure is too high, in addition to cutting salt, increasing fiber may help.
And you won’t just get it from whole grain breads – you can find it in foods you already like – avocados are loaded with fiber, as are fresh fruits like strawberries and pears, plus beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Whether you’re someone who feels anxious or not, we all could use something from time-to-time that would help make us feel like we’re in more control.
Support from friends and family or professionals, and living a healthy lifestyle are all ways to help manage our anxiety – but one nutritional psychiatrist says a beverage is the just the trick for her. That beverage is a “golden latte.”
Sometimes it’s called golden milk, others refer to it as a turmeric latte – but no matter what it’s called, this milk-based beverage seasoned with spices, has some science-backed mood-enhancing benefits. Turmeric is both an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory effects, which helps as many cases of depression have a base in inflammation. It can also increase serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain.
You probably already have all the ingredients in your cupboard and fridge now – it’s a mix of almond milk, turmeric powder, raw honey, that’s all heated and then topped with nutmeg.
Easy, tasty, and might just do the trick to help alleviate some anxiety!

Try it! Listen…
If you feel stressed, the best thing you can do is eat something. But not just anything you find in the fridge – dieticians have a list of the best foods that help alleviate anxiety.
And topping the list is something you’ll probably have a bunch of very soon – pumpkin seed. They’re high in magnesium, which helps to calm down the brain.
Fish like tuna is high in vitamins that help to regulate moods, and salmon has those omega-3 fatty acids which reduces inflammation and increases serotonin.
Orange juice isn’t just for breakfast – the vitamin C also helps with inflammation, just make sure you find 100% fruit juice.
And what do you want to avoid when you feel stressed? Cookies, cakes, ice cream and caffeine can all increase stress and anxiety levels.
