An Inexpensive Option For Anxiety Treatments
If you suffer from panic attacks, social anxiety disorder
, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, claustrophobia, agoraphobia and obsessive compulsive disorders, this article is aimed at giving you an inexpensive approach to improve your resilience against anxiety. Anxiety treatments options and approaches that have been proved to be effective against anxiety disorders include learning relaxation techniques, correct breathing techniques, dietary adjustments, exercise, improving self-assertiveness and self-esteem, cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, structured problem solving and medication. In this article, I will only focus on the relationship between diet and anxiety.
Surviving on junk food is hardly the way. Healthy eating improves resilience against anxiety disorders. Generally, the internet has abundant information on what constitutes healthy eating habits. If you are in Australia, for example, the organization, Nutrition Australia, has graphed a healthy eating pyramid to illustrate what healthy foods should be eaten and in what proportions. According to this pyramid, a healthy diet must consist mostly of vegetables, cereals and fruit. Meats must be consumed in moderation. Fats and oils must be eaten in small quantities.
Insufficient amounts of magnesium can contribute to anxiety, depression and insomnia. Anxiety symptoms can also be exacerbated by inadequate intake of vitamin B. Avoid tobacco and other sources of nicotine. Nicotine and caffeine trigger adrenal glands in your body to produce more adrenaline that is a stress chemical that causes you to become anxious or to panic. So each time you are buying, tea, coffee and drinks, read the labels to satisfy yourself that there is no caffeine in the product.
Also, try and eat fresh food whenever it is possible. Artificial preservatives in canned food have been linked to anxiety disorders. Another thing to avoid is excessive consumption of salt.
It's all good to acknowledge the relationship between diet and anxiety, but the inescapable truth is that healthy food, especially fruits and vegetables are expensive to buy them from the supermarket. My suggestion is you should wherever possible grow your own fruit and vegetables. Also instead of buying from the supermarkets, go to the open markets where farmers sell their produce directly to the public. Also in some countries, it is cheaper to buy directly from wholesalers than from supermarkets. So why don't you, your neighbours and friends pool your money together so that you can meet the minimum purchase quantities stipulated by such wholesalers.
