Default Raw to Control Anxiety

Has anyone controlled anxiety with raw foods? Is that all you did? Do you still have attacks and what do you do? Meditate, breathing exercises?

I have been having MAJOR anxiety for the last few months. I've had anxiety attacks since I was 17. I didn't know what they were back then.

I noticed less anxiety when i was high raw whic was not the case the last few months. I have been juicing the last week and see a major difference. I've had way less anxiety.

So in my case being raw has helped me with the anxiety. Also working out has helped me.

Since going raw / Eating High raw, anxiety has been a thing of the past and I have dealt with anxiety since I was 14 and possibly younger.

My anxiety went away pretty fast after going high raw, but everyone is so different.

I have dealt with anxiety since I was young as well and with eating raw I have less.. I'm hoping for even less as I get better with raw.

I used to have horrible attacks as a teenager. They are less often and less severe now that I am older. Yoga helps me feel calm, peaceful and centered. Taking time for myself like a warm bath with candles and lavendar oil in the water helps to relax me. Thinking of beatiful places like a beach with warm air touching my skin and the smell of the ocean also helps me. For me being raw is only one piece of the puzzle though, I also need to get enough rest and work out to complete me.

Hi Nayeli,

I had severe anxiety for 6 years, i couldnt leave the house for long periods, also depression. social phobia. panic attack sydrome, i got diagnosed by the medical profession and mental health service with all of them.

Raw helped me alot, become a happier person, but depending on how bad your anxiety is, i had to take a full on approach, exercise also.

I dont know how open you are to alternative healing etc. but the thing that had the biggest impact on me was reiki and crystal healing. I like to think of raw as the main foundation though.
