Eat a healthy well balanced diet to ease the anxiety or panic attacks that keep you in bondage.

Anxiety sufferers are usually deficient in vitamins and minerals such as the B-complex vitamins and magnesium.

B-Complex: Help the nervous system to function properly and help to bring energy to people who are constantly stressed.
Magnesium: Helps muscles to relax and maintenance of the heart muscle.

Eating healthy snacks and meals will reap far more benefits that your favorite comfort foods, those only give you comfort temporarily. Healthy alternatives will keep your mood in check, help to reduce stress and give you a pep in your step.

Try to eliminate white sugar or refined products such as white rice, white bread, white sugar, and white pasta, these foods will give you a temporary high but then send you for a crashing low, causing mood swings and leaving you feel tired and lethargic.

Also, limit your caffeinated drinks or beverages. Consume in moderation, considered as a mild stimulant it affects the nervous system by increasing your heart rate. Also a diuretic, it can increase water loss through urination. Healthier alternatives would be water, herbal tea, milk or natural fruit juice.

So eat foods that give you a boost!

What Do I Eat?

  1. Chocolate, certainly last but not least. Now we’re talking this isn`t just any kind of chocolate though it needs to be dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is rick in magnesium which so many people are deficient in. Look for the highest percentage of cocoa.
  2. Skip the trans-fats. These are all bad for your heart so if it says “hydrogenated“ or “modified“ stay away.
  3. Munch on celery. Celery contains active compounds called phthalides, which can help relax the muscles around arteries and allow those vessels to dilate. With more space inside the arteries, this can reduce blood pressure.
  4. Add spinach, turkey and greens to your diet. These foods contain tryptophan which helps to regulate your appetite and can improve your sleep at night.
  5. Foods high in fiber, such as brown rice, brown bread, whole wheat pasta and low in salt.
  6. Incorporate beans to your diet. Whether lentils, soybeans, navy or pinto they contain optimal amounts of magnesium that aids in muscle relaxation.
  7. Nuts or seeds. Particularly almonds and pumpkin seeds they are rich in vitamin B12 and zinc which helps to boost your mood.
  8. Salmon or chicken. Optimal amounts of niacin (B-3) which is needed for overall energy production.
  9. Eat yogurt. Yogurt contains B-12 which can help in producing healthy nerve cells.
  10. Eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can boost the body’s stores of vitamins and minerals that are depleted by prolonged stress.

If you don’t see changes right away don’t be surprised, it takes time, maybe a few weeks before you start to notice changes but when you do, you’ll feel great!
