i was reading a book and it said that salt can contribute to having panic attacks, a bit like a coffee, and alcohol. I was just wondering if it was true and if there is anything else i should avoid in order to prevent panic attacks and anxiety!?

Panic is a feeling... face the fearful thought/situation, panic subsides!

I think blocking out feelings is the biggest cause of anxiety/panic attacks. They will stay blocked in there until they are dealt with. That & numbing the pain with the things everyone knows is bad for us, but are so hard to stop, like alcohol etc.

well i don't know about anybody else, but the more stuff i started to avoid only made it more likely i'd have a panic attack about something else. before long i was avoiding everything.

i say unless you specifically notice something is triggering you, i wouldn't worry about it.
