What are anxiety disorders?
We all experience occasional feelings of anxiety, worry and fear this is totally normal.
If you have an anxiety disorder, these feelings are more noticeable and difficult to live with.
They can make you feel as though things are worse than they actually are.
Symptoms of anxiety include:
Feelings of dread, panic or ‘impending doom’,
Feeling on edge or irritable,
Heightened alertness,
Difficulties sleeping,
Changes in appetite,
Difficulties concentrating,
Depersonalisation, and
wanting to escape from the situation you are in.
You might also experience physical symptoms, which can include:

Heavy and fast breathing,
Hot flushes or blushing,
Dry mouth,

Fast heartbeat,
Dizziness and fainting,
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), stomach aches and sickness.
So what foods are best and worst for anxiety?
AVOID at all costs:
Processed foods, fried foods, high glycemic carbs, unrefined sugars, coffee and alcoholic beverages.
DO EAT
Magnesium rich foods, Blueberries, Acai Berries, Almonds, Raw chocolate, Maca Root and anything with magnesium, vitamin B12 (and other B vitamins), zinc, and antioxidants can be beneficial for helping you deal with stress and anxiety.

Have you tried Meditation?
Just 5-10 minutes a day sitting in silence and just
listening and feeling some nice big deep breaths can help loads!!!
Anxiety is so very common these days
and getting your nutrition on point can really
help.
