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

“酸糖果可以帮助焦虑吗？” Sood博士问。 “当某人经历焦虑时，大脑会转移到高度警觉中。”

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.

医生继续说，解释说饮食糖果可以作为一种接地技术。接地技术是通过关注当下来分散赛车思想的一种方式。

“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博士解释说：“有些人使用接地技术来冷静下来。对于某些人来说，酸味有所帮助。强烈的酸味会触发强烈的身体反应，摆脱焦虑的想法。” “在惊恐发作期间，这种快速的感官转移可能特别有用。”

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

但是，Sood博士警告说，这可能对每个人都不起作用。

“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.

他说：“虽然酸糖果可能是一些人缓解焦虑的有用工具，但个人喜好和特定的焦虑触发者在其功效中起着重要作用。”
