Anxiety is a sad aspect of today’s world that has affected many of us in a variety of ways. The majority of people are unaware that they have anxiety or fail to take preventative steps until the condition worsens and becomes uncontrollable. Anxiety symptoms include nervousness, elevated heart rate, and a feeling of weakness, while anxiety attacks, perspiration, shaking, and a sense of approaching danger may indicate advanced anxiety levels.
Deepti Sherawat, a holistic lifestyle coach and professional nutritionist, suggests some natural foods that might help you relax from the inside out and activate your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
Foods that are rich in nutrients and are known to promote good health. They help keep our bodies and minds healthy. But not all foods that are labelled as “super-foods” are good for you. Here are some anxiety-relieving super-foods recommended by Deepti Sherawat that might benefit you:
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that improves thyroid function and lowers blood sugar levels, among other things. It calms the nervous system and reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels in the blood, making you feel calm and relaxed. You can take Ashwagandha powder or Ashwagandha pills, but you should visit a doctor before deciding on the dosage and duration of your treatment.
Valerian Root Powder
It’s a European and Asian herb that’s been used for centuries for its natural calming qualities. For 10 minutes, steep 1 teaspoon of valerian root powder in 1 cup boiling water. At bedtime, sieve and drink lukewarm. It aids in the induction of sound sleep, the relief of headaches, and the calming of an overactive mind.
Desi Ghee
Desi ghee (ideally organic A2 cow ghee) is well-known for its wide range of health advantages. Many mental health/anxiety illnesses, according to Ayurveda, can be improved by consuming/applying good quality fats, particularly ghee. You can easily incorporate desi ghee into your everyday diet, but there is a way to rapidly reduce anxiety. Simply use your fingertips to massage your nostrils with heated ghee. This can assist in calming anxiety and bringing your racing heart rate back to normal.
Don’t avoid anxiety, relieve it.
Anxiety is a mental state that occurs when an individual feels distressed or worried. They can be caused by several different factors. In some cases, you might have a serious problem like clinical anxiety. They can be caused by genetics or over thinking.
If you are dealing with anxiety or if you feel anxiety symptoms very often, then it is best to consult a doctor. With medical guidance and therapy, anxiety is completely curable and reversible. It is best to ask for help to prevent the condition from worsening. If you know someone in your family or your friend circle who is dealing with severe anxiety, please counsel them to get help immediately.
