Overcome Panic Attacks Through Nutrition

The way that we fuel our body has a much bigger impact on our anxiety levels than we ever imagined. By not eating an anxiety reducing diet, we may actually be sabotaging our efforts at lowering our general anxiety to overcome panic attacks once and for all.

What Should We Be Eating?


We need to be eating a high alkaline diet. What is that exactly? What that means is that we aim to eat a diet that is made up of 80% raw fruits and vegetables and 20% protein and dairy. It is important to stay away from salt, refined sugar and processed foods as much as possible if we want to give ourselves a chance at living panic-free. Consumption of these foods serves only to lower our bodies tolerance to anxious feelings.

Water

Because most of our bodily functions are linked to the efficient flow of water through our system, we need to ensure that we are getting plenty of it at all times. Water transports hormones, chemical messengers, and nutrients to vital organs of the body. When we don’t keep the body well hydrated, it reacts to these signals which can cause undo anxiety and stress on us.

If we want to overcome panic attacks, it is absolutely necessary to take an active interest in our dietary habits and change the way we eat. Our sanity depends on it.
