It's not a replacement for therapy or meds when needed but more so a supplement to traditional methods and for some, diet modification along with exercise can reduce and actually eliminate symptoms. Even a simple reduction in symptoms due to dietary changes in turn will reduce stress in a heart anxious individual.
This was not medical advice but actual common sense nutritional advice and good advice at that. Is it any different than telling a person anxious about lung cancer not to smoke (when they do) or to stop drinking when they're hungover and extremely anxious the next day?
I believe you took the OP totally the wrong way.
I agree with the OP. Its solid advice, regardless of anxiety and I can't see how this will trigger anyone.
Positive thoughts
Like you I've had a heart attack and suffer anxiety.
While the above is good general advice I can see it triggering those who don't think they're eating correctly.
It doesn't worry me but there will be those that it will unfortunately.
Just my two bobs worth.
