Something as subtle as changing one of our thought processes can make a huge difference to anxiety you would be surprised just how important the mental aspect of anxiety really is.
Changing our diet and lifestyle can do exactly the same thing. Using food and drink as a natural remedy for anxiety is one of the best ways to deal with the disorder, whilst getting a strong hold of our physical health, too.
Salmon and other oily fish are rich in Omega 3. Different foods do different things for our brains and there is strong link between Omega 3, 6 and 9 intake and mental disorders such as depressions and anxiety. There are two ways to get omega 3, 6 and 9 – you can eat it in oily fish, nuts, seeds and products that have it added (e.g. some butter and bread) or you can simply take daily supplements (many of which are fantastic natural anxiety remedies) found in your local health food store. Omega 3, 6 and 9 not only help with mental disorders but they reduce inflammation (good for arthritis, eczema and menstrual bloating), balance the hormones and make the skin, nails and hair shiny and healthy.
It’s also important you have a balanced diet, with as little caffeine, alcohol and nicotine as possible. Each of these substances wreak havoc with the mood of an anxiety sufferer, and while people claim a drink ‘calms the nerves’, in the long term it will do the opposite. You might also feel a cigarette calms you down, but compared to a non-smoker your mood levels are all over the place. When you have a cigarette you are calm (because you’ve satisfied your craving) but as time goes on your anxiety rises rapidly, until you have another. A non-smoker has a far steadier mood because the receptors in their brain are not constantly demanding a hit.
A large part of dealing with anxiety via lifestyle is common sense. Drinking 2 liters of coke in one night is going to fill you with caffeine and cause anxiety, but you knew that drinking that much is bad for you anyway. Too much of anything is going to cause problems, whether your mood or your health, so use your lifestyle as an anxiety natural remedy. Eat and drink in moderation and you should start to see a difference. I think one good strategy is to replace soda drinks for water or fruits and vegetable juices. A juice diet, although it can be fairly extreme, provides a convenient way to consume more fruits and vegetables, so that you can have more energy and rid yourself of anxiety for good.
