據一位醫生說，吃酸糖果可能有助於焦慮

根據AAMC的說法，醫學博士Kunal Sood博士是“麻醉和介入止痛藥的雙董事會認證的醫生”。他還是Tiktok的260萬追隨者的社交媒體影響者。

Living with anxiety can be challenging, especially when the panic attacks come on at random times. One doctor shared a rather unorthodox way to ease such attacks: sour candy. Does it really work?

焦慮生活可能具有挑戰性，尤其是在隨機恐慌發作時。一位醫生分享了一種簡化此類攻擊的相當非正統的方式：酸味糖果。真的有效嗎？

Dr. Kunal Sood, MD, is a double board-certified physician in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Medicine, according to AAMC. He is also a social media influencer with 2.6 million followers on TikTok. Dr. Sood often reacts to other TikTokers who make medical claims, sharing whether or not those claims are true and breaking down the why of it all.

AAMC稱，醫學博士Kunal Sood博士是麻醉和介入止痛藥的雙董事會認證醫師。他還是Tiktok的260萬追隨者的社交媒體影響者。 Sood博士經常對提出醫療要求的其他提克托克人做出反應，分享這些主張是否真實並分解所有這些要求。

Recently, Dr. Sood reacted to a post by TikTok user Bianca (@_legallybrunette1), who shared a rather unique tip for calming down anxiety. Bianca decided to combine three types of sour candy—Sour Patch Kids, sour Skittles, and sour gummy worms—and put them in a Ziploc bag.

最近，Sood博士對Tiktok用戶Bianca的帖子做出了反應，他分享了一種平靜的焦慮症，他分享了一個相當獨特的技巧。比安卡（Bianca）決定將三種類型的酸糖果（Quant Kids）組合起來，包括兒童，酸味和酸味蠕蟲 - 並將其放在Ziploc袋中。

According to Bianca, her therapist told her to eat something sour when she felt anxiety coming on. She tried it and found that it helped, so she’s making emergency sour candy bags for work and the car.

據比安卡（Bianca）說，她的治療師告訴她，當她感到焦慮時要吃酸。她嘗試了一下，發現它有所幫助，因此她正在製作緊急酸味糖果袋和汽車。

Dr. Sood enters the chat

“Can sour candy help with anxiety?” Dr. Sood asks. “When someone is experiencing anxiety, the brain shifts into high alert.”

“酸糖果可以幫助焦慮嗎？” Sood博士問。 “當某人經歷焦慮時，大腦會轉移到高度警覺中。”

The doctor continues, explaining that eating sour candy can act as a grounding technique. A grounding technique is a way to distract racing thoughts by focusing on the present.

醫生繼續說，解釋說飲食糖果可以作為一種接地技術。接地技術是通過關注當下來分散賽車思想的一種方式。

“Some people use grounding techniques to calm down. And for some, sour candy helps. The intense sourness triggers a strong physical reaction, pulling away from anxious thoughts,” Dr. Sood explains. “This quick sensory shift can be especially useful during a panic attack.”

Sood博士解釋說：“有些人使用接地技術來冷靜下來。對於某些人來說，酸味有所幫助。強烈的酸味會觸發強烈的身體反應，擺脫焦慮的想法。” “在驚恐發作期間，這種快速的感官轉移可能特別有用。”

However, Dr. Sood warns that this may not work for everyone.

但是，Sood博士警告說，這可能對每個人都不起作用。

“While sour candy might serve as a helpful tool for anxiety relief for some individuals, personal preferences and specific anxiety triggers play a significant role in its efficacy,” he says.

他說：“雖然酸糖果可能是一些人緩解焦慮的有用工具，但個人喜好和特定的焦慮觸發者在其功效中起著重要作用。”

The Daily Dot has reached out to Dr. Sood via Instagram direct message and TikTok comment.

Can sour candy really help anxiety?

酸糖果真的可以幫助焦慮嗎？

According to Health.com, sour candy can be soothing for some who experience anxiety, panic attacks, or stress. The candy essentially distracts the brain from intrusive thoughts. However, heavily relying on candy can lead to other health issues, like high or low blood pressure spikes.

根據Health.com的說法，對於一些經歷焦慮，恐慌發作或壓力的人來說，酸糖果可以舒緩。糖果本質上分散了大腦的注意力。但是，嚴重依靠糖果會導致其他健康問題，例如高血壓峰值或低血壓。

Keep in mind that this isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. What may work for one doesn’t work for another.

請記住，這不是一個適合所有解決方案。一個可能有用的是對另一個人不起作用。
