Unfortunately, anxiety and depression are so prevalent today. I’m in my mid 60’s and I don’t remember so many people struggling to the degree we are today. According to the research and from a natural nutritional standpoint, there are a lot of sound reasons. We now have a whole generation struggling with emotional and psychological stressors. I hope I can outline a few helpful natural ways to improve your overall mood and wellness.
12 Ways to Reduce Anxiety Naturally:
1. Stay Hydrated – A 2% level of dehydration dehydrates the brain first. Water is important for balancing stress hormones.
2. Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet – eliminate processed and refined carbohydrates. Avoid coffee and sugar.
3. Practice Neurobics-Learn fun new things to do.
4. Practice Positive Visualization, it works.
5. Deep Breathing, it relaxes the body.
6. Avoid Sugar and Caffeine- cool down the brain.
7. Ground your body, walk barefoot on the earth, it helps to balance our nervous system.
8. Heal Your Gut – work with a Functional Nutritionist to help with this.
9. Eliminate food sensitivities as continuing to eat these foods causes inflammation.
10. Keep a gratitude journal, it’s very helpful and healing.
