Don't forget the importance of diet and
nutrition
This is common sense stuff, but poor nutrition and
deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals has been closely associated
with anxiety. Take a close look at your eating habits and make sure
you’re getting a balanced diet. Consult a nutrition book if
necessary, and take a multi vitamin with a meal for good measure.
But above all, use common sense when choosing your foods. And for
those who experience anxiety related indigestion, reflux, heart
or throat burn, make a special point of avoiding spicy and high
fat foods.
As a side note, many people find certain foods to have anxiety-relieving
qualities. For example, some have found that a cup of camomile tea
or warm milk helps them to relax, and even fall asleep at night.
I personally never came across any magical snack that I could rely
on regularly for anxiety relief. In fact, it’s quite likely
that eating a particular food to help anxiety has more of a psychological
effect than a physical one (if you really believe that something
is going to help you relax, there's a good chance that it will).
