Following on from the thread at about viyamin B...
The B vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, B6, biotin, pantothenic acid, B12, folic acid) are all important for the healthy functioning of the nervous system, especially the production of the key chemical messengers in the brain called neurotransmitters. It is the lack of neurotransmitters that is thought to cause depression. Antidepressants work by changing the way our brain produces neurotransmitters, so yes, Vitamin b will help. Thiamin is particularly beneficial for nervous system support.
Consuming foods high in tryptophan are worthwhile because they help bolster the nervous system. In addition, people suffering from anxiety and panic should consume foods rich in calcium, magnesium, and alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid.
Some scientists believe that people who suffer from panic attacks may be deficient in alpha-linolenic acid. In one study, individuals suffering from panic attacks for over 10 years experienced a significant improvement within two or three months of consuming increased amounts of alpha-linolenic acid. Salmon and tuna are good for this.
Biotin assists the body in metabolizing protein, fats, and carbohydrates from food. It is important during times of anxiety and panic because it plays a special role in helping the body to use glucose and promotes overall equilibrium along with the other B vitamins. Cauliflower, Peanuts, Eggs, Cheese are good for this.
Calcium is needed for normal communication among nerve cells and for muscle contraction, all vital in supporting the body during anxiety and panic. Some research indicates that dietary calcium may help lower blood pressure, which can be raised during times of anxiety. Broccoli, Amaranth, Milk, Bok choy, Kale, Cheese, Beans, dried, Tofu, Soybeans, Salmon, Yogurt are good for this.
Folic acid is an important member of the B vitamin family and is required along with the others when the body is dealing with anxiety and panic. Research suggests that folic acid may help relieve depression, which is often associated with anxiety and panic. Asparagus, Beets, Brussels sprouts, Bok choy, Peas, fresh, Beans, dried, Chickpeas, Soybeans, Lentils, Oranges, Turkey, Cabbage, Savoy, Spinach, Broccoli, Avocados are good for this.
Magnesium may be beneficial during anxiety and panic because it helps muscles to relax. Spinach, Avocados, Chocolate, Pumpkin seeds, Oysters, Sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, Buckwheat, Amaranth, Quinoa, Almonds, Barley are good for this.
As a member of the B vitamin family, niacin is required along with the other B vitamins when the body is coping with anxiety and panic. Niacin helps the body to release energy from carbohydrates, control blood sugar, and maintain proper nervous system function. Rice, brown, Lamb, Pomegranates, Tuna, Chicken, Turkey, Wheat are good for this.
The body relies on pantothenic acid (also know as vitamin B5) to support the response to anxiety and panic. Pantothenic acid helps produce stress hormones during times of psychological difficulty (emotional upset, depression, anxiety), as well as during other types of strain, such as chronic fatigue and quitting smoking. Avocados, Salmon, Mushrooms, Sunflower seeds, Yogurt are good for this.
Riboflavin is beneficial for anxiety and panic because it converts other B vitamins to useful forms so that they can do their work. In addition, since it aids in the production of infection-fighting immune cells, riboflavin helps bolster the immune system. Avocados, Clams, Yogurt, Milk, Pork, fresh, Lamb, Duck, Mushrooms are good for this.
Thiamin is beneficial during anxiety and panic because it facilitates neurotransmitter synthesis, promotes healthy nerve function, and converts carbohydrates in foods into energy. Asparagus, Soy milk, Barley, Oats, Wheat, Sunflower seeds, Tuna, Brazil nuts, Salmon, Pork, fresh, Pasta, wheat, Rice, white, Avocados, Mussels are good for this.
Vitamin B12 helps the body to cope with anxiety and panic because it works in concert with other B vitamins.
