My name is Farrah Dukati, and I want to Thank You for visiting. This free course from Panic Cure is a 2 part experience that will help you better understand your anxiety related disorders. I know that you will find this material useful!
If you are someone that has been diagnosed with Panic or Anxiety Disorder, you must be relying heavily on medications prescribed by your doctor to relieve your condition. Or you may be doing nothing about them at all. If you are in-fact using medication, you should be aware of the possible side effects and complications of your continued use. In this mini course, you are offered an alternative natural treatment option that works like your medications, using special techniques and methods. They can either be used together with your medications, to lessen their frequency and dose, or to relieve symptoms, even when used individually. Though like most alternative techniques, frequent practice is needed before effects are seen.
Without further adieu, I want to introduce to you the "6 Stupidly Simple Techniques" that will assist you in your journey to a panic and anxiety free life.
1. Avoid stimulant food - Among those considered in the group of stimulants are items most commonly craved by people. These include alcohol, caffeine and nicotine found in products such as beer, hard drinks, coffee, tea, cigarettes and even chocolate when taken in excess. Most of these products are used to help relieve of stress or anxiety. I'm sure you can relate to at least one of these. These are habits, such as drinking alcohol and smoking, which people resort to when they are in a heightened state of anxiety. However without realizing it, you are actually subjecting your body more to stress and anxiety. When you possess a strong will, it won't take longer than 2 days for you to stop these desires.
2. Eat healthy foods - Do away with sugar rich and fatty foods; instead opt for the healthier green leafy vegetables. Your body will not only feel "lighter" and healthier in the process literally, but you will actually feel more relaxed with less tension. Reduce the toxic buildup in your body caused by a bad processed diet, by giving it a time to rest and go back to the natural alternatives. Also prevent chemical and toxic waste to pile up in the body. Aid their elimination by taking in foods rich in fiber.
3. Drink a lot of water - 70% of your body is made up of water. One of its major uses is to regulate the flow of blood to supply nutrition throughout your body. Drink at least 2 to 4 liters of water every day to keep your body hydrated. Don't take in too much, for you might suffer from fluid overload and that would also mean constant trips to the bathroom. Studies have proven how water help reduce anxiety through several ways. So lessen your anxiety and start drinking water now.
4. Sleep earlier - When people want to rid of stress, the first advice they stumble upon is to sleep early. This is so true! Sleeping in the late hours of the night could actually worsen your anxiety for the mind isn't given enough time to rest. This could worsen greatly your condition. For traditional Chinese medicine, 11 PM is the time the body organs start to rest. When you sleep in later, you are harming your organs in a great degree. Attempt a healthy habit, sleep in early and wake up early.
5. Regular Exercise - Exercises every day for at least 30 minutes has been shown to reduce anxiety significantly! It may seem strange but the effect lasted permanently for most people. After 1 week of exercises, you will first notice the results. Your anxiety is decreased as well as your attacks. However, give it more time, around 3 months, before you truly expect to exhibit the progress. It is highly recommended by both doctors and psychiatrists.
6. Relaxation music with Visualization - If you're an imaginative person who simply loves music, this is an option highly suited for you. Lie down on a comfortable spot, either a sofa or a bed, listen to relaxing music and imagine yourself in a place you feel most comfortable in. Feel the sense of joy and relaxation emanating to your mind and body. Practice this every day for 20 minutes and you will start to notice a significant reduction to your level of anxiety. Keep in mind to turn off the music after each session.
Do NOT underestimate how powerful these 6 methods are. The more of these ways you practice, the better you can expect results. With the combination of the Panic Cure program, you're on your way to recovery soon!
I know that relaxation music might sound corny, but it is definitely something that helps. When I was on a quest to put an end to my panic attacks, I found that it was one of the things that helped keep my mind at ease. Listening to the right music is key in reducing your anxiety level.

The ONE thing you should NOT overlook...
Are you aware that diet plays an important role in reducing feelings of anxiety? I'm sure you're probably thinking how that's possible, when anxiety is mostly in the mind. Read through the text and learn of some essential foods you should take to help relieve your anxiety.
As many of you are aware by now, water is vital for every function in our body, most especially in eliminating wastes and transporting nutrients to different areas of the body. By simply drinking more water, you relieve yourself of numerous health problems. Try browsing through several treatment strategies offered for almost every disease out there, they all advise the same, increase your water intake. When the body is properly hydrated, it functions optimally, especially the brain. By feeling healthier, you put yourself in a positive state of mind and away from anxieties.
Most people interpret the increase in intake of water as simply increasing the volume of fluids you drink, regardless of the type. Do not mistake other liquids for water! That is a big no-no, for it could worsen the situation when you take in some kinds of liquids as frequently as you would water. One such example is tea or coffee. Your body would be wasting more essential water trying to rid of the caffeine, even greater than the amount of tea/coffee you took in. Also for alcoholics out there, watch your alcohol intake when you head to another drinking session. I'm sure most of you are aware of the unpleasant effect, which is hangovers. Do you know the real cause behind it? As the body attempts to eliminate the alcohol from your system, you experience dehydration as water is lost and electrolyte imbalances occur. You become extremely uncomfortable during hangovers and become highly anxious of getting rid of it. It's not healthy for both your mind and body. Make sure after a night of heavy to drink plenty of water the day after to regain the lost fluids in your body and counter the dehydration.
Studies have shown how people take for granted water intake, as well as its effects to the body. Lack of water is the #1 cause of daytime fatigue, with almost 75% of people being chronically dehydrated without being aware of it. Try to keep a logbook and see how many glasses of water you take a day. Surprised? Now you know where to relate the fatigue you experience early in the morning. Even the mildest dehydration reduces the body's metabolism by 3% and is found to be one of the main problems of people who are obese or overweight. They lack intake of water and prefer more sugary alternatives. If you badly desire to lose weight, begin by increasing your water intake. It doesn't help that 1 out of 3 people have a weak thirst mechanism, mistaking it for hunger.
Remember without sufficient water, our body feels like it is in a state of anxiety. Regular water intake not only rids of anxiety but will provide you as well with increased stamina and reduced fatigue. So to ensure you are taking in sufficient fluids a day, drink eight glasses of pure water every day. Keep tea, coffee, and alcohol out of the picture.
When the body is experiencing certain health problems physically, it also affects the way both the mind and body resist stress. Have you noticed how unhealthy a modern western staple diet has become? Naturally, the body is in an alkaline state and the diets we see in today's world are mostly acidic. Doctors often pinpoint these bad diets as the source of various health problems, as well as experts to anxiety disorders. Your overall sense of well-being improves with a good diet, causing you to be less prone to feelings of anxiety. The health of the body coincides with the health of your mind and together determines your ability to resist stress and anxiety.
Acidic foods present in the market today are those that are processed, as well as dairy products, grains, excessive salt and sugar. They tend to shift the body's balance toward the acidic state. But with fruits and vegetables, they help the body regain its normal natural balance. Does that mean I should eliminate acidic foods from my diet? Most of you may already be getting anxious about that thought. But no need to worry, it's also not good for the body not to engage in a healthy diet. However for optimum balance, it is advised to take at least 80% alkaline foods for every meal. This simply means your diet should mostly consist of fruits and vegetables. Meat lovers don't fret for taking in meat everyday is highly essential but remember to limit the amount of animal protein to 50 g per day. It's simply about taking in what your body only needs not eliminating some vital food groups. So keep eating what you crave for but take notice of quantity, it is the key!
Another important factor to regulate the body's balance is by maintaining the amount of minerals in our body. Minerals play an important role in keeping the body's alkaline state. Once they are depleted, you become more acidic. The key to acquiring adequate minerals is by taking in sufficient fruits and vegetables. More fruits and vegetables, means more benefits to your health and state of mind. However due to changes in the earth, sometimes though you'd been eating vegetables and fruit on a daily basis, you still lack essential minerals. This signals the time to supplement! To allow the body to cope with stress, take in a generous amount of B complex vitamins.
Still not convinced with fruits and vegetables? Here's more, they are naturally called super foods with the huge amounts of nutrition they offer. They are in their most nutritious state when they are seed sprouts. You can buy organic sprouts such as broccoli, alfalfa, mung bean and sunflower seed in most health stores. Or, you could opt to plant the seeds in your own backyard and sprout them yourselves.
Another highly popular super food emerging in the market today is wheatgrass. Containing a high amount of chlorophyll, it causes increased hemoglobin production which also increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. When the brain and tissues are in a highly oxygenated state, they function best.
As you can see, improving your diet not only helps to restore your physical health, but also aids in relieving anxiety. The Panics Cure system would guide you to further enhance your knowledge on the relationship of diet and anxiety.
