Diet

I want to know if anyone has had any success controlling their blushing by changing their diet.

For my part, I have noticed that the likelihood of me blushing is dramatically increased if I've eaten a lot of refined sugar. ie. sweets, chocolate, crap fast food. I assume this is because I'm wired from the sugar and my nervous system is more sensitive.

Large amounts of citric acid seems to have the same effect, so I don't eat oranges or tomatoes.

Finally, I'm far more likely to blush when I'm dehydrated. Drinking my two litres of water a day seems to have a very positive effect on my blushing.

Anyone else had this experience?
