Apart from taking a good Omega EPA supplement with a ratio of EPA:DHA of at least 6:1 (Omega-UP is 7:1) there are some other steps you can take to help you manage anxiety symptoms. What most people don’t know about anxiety is that it requires daily maintenance. Everyone copes differently. It’s about finding what works for you. However 3 of the most common-sense recommendations that are universally helpful are maintaining a healthy diet, getting sufficient rest and daily exercise. It’s particularly important to avoid anxiety trigger-foods such as caffeine, refined sugars, alcohol, and fried foods also exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Eating habits don’t “cause” anxiety, but they make it worse, and the worse your anxiety symptoms are the more your anxiety will bother you. Physical activity improves the immune system, releases calming neurotransmitters (endorphins), tires the muscles, and burns away stress hormones. It’s incredibly important for controlling stress and anxiety, and important for coping. Exercise is not only good for our physical health but also our mental health. Both meditation and yoga have the potential to improve your ability to cope with stress. They teach healthier breathing, and poor breathing is one of the issues that makes anxiety symptoms worse, especially during anxiety and panic attacks. Many people believe the spiritual qualities of meditation and yoga are also helpful for curing anxiety. The important thing to know is that there are strategies that work for managing anxiety.
