There are many natural anxiety cures available for anxiety attacks. However, according to research, magnesium can be considered the most deficient nutrient in the United States due to a poor diet which consists mainly of processed foods, and a stressful and hectic lifestyle. Stress further depletes the body and causes an imbalance in the body's biochemistry.
Magnesium is used in therapy as a natural anxiety treatment because of its relaxing effect and is essential for over 300 chemical reactions in the body.
The body needs this particular mineral to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which powers all your bodily functions and reactions. A deficiency causes ATP production to fall, and the body forms lactic acid instead. Excessive levels of lactic acid causes anxiety and irritability symptoms. The deficiency also causes signs of stress in the adrenal gland which results in physiological tension in the body. In severe cases, it may cause hyperventilation, seizures, nervous tension and panic attacks.
Magnesium is also required in the production of prostaglandin hormones which helps reduce anxiety and agoraphobia. It aids in stabilising mood swings and when taken before bedtime, it relaxes muscles, relieves tension and induces restful sleep. It is particularly beneficial for women as it helps alleviate emotionally triggered PMS symptoms, crankiness and abdominal cramps.
For oral supplements it is best absorbed when taken in conjunction with calcium.
Other than taking supplements, good natural food sources include green leafy vegetables, legumes, avocados, raisins and dried figs, raw nuts and seeds, tofu, meat, poultry, seafood, millet and other grains. Studies have shown that even the trace amounts in bottled mineral water may help offset a panic and anxiety attack.
Chocolate contains beneficial amounts of magnesium and it is a natural anxiety cure which triggers endorphin release and creates that immediate happy feeling.
So... when you're feeling really stressed out, just take a break and have a chocolate!
