Anxiety About Eating
Omega 3… Healthy Eating…. Anxiety……?

I suffer from pretty bad anxiety daily with few panic attacks throughout the year…. I do not want to take any prescribed medication… I see a licensed social worker every 2 weeks to hopefully be taught cognitive therapy….. I had a normal up bringing so no sure where the anxiety comes from… Anyways today I started Omega 3 I have read articles and studies about the great mental health benefits…. I know diet and exercise also play a role in the way you feel…. I am 24 and about 130 pounds and I have no diet really just your typical american lifestyle(home cooked meals, take out for lunch etc.)… My goal is to really feel better and be happy and not afraid anymore of anxiety…..

My question is what are good foods that I can eat to help add to me feeling better and a healty lifestyle and has anyone else ever used this approach…. Please do not answer if you have anything rude to say

My psychiatrists also said Omega 3 is good for the brain and he said a lot of doctors themselves take it. Talk to someone in a good health food store and see what they suggest. Something like melatonin may help too. I have found that the healthier I eat the better I feel. I eat 5 to 7 fruits and vetg. a day plus lean meat or fish OR poultry and usually at least once a week for dinner, I go vegetarian too. When I eat like this, my hot flashes almost disappear. When I eat too many bad carbs like pizza or ice cream(my favorite), the hot flashes come back with a vengeance.

Food has the power to temporarily alleviate stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring us comfort when we need it most.

The good news is you can instead soothe yourself through dozens of mindful activities that are healthy for both body and mind.Susan Albers, author of Eating Mindfully,…
