Some of my simple tips for worry were shared in the April edition of Women\u2019s World so here they are for you to enjoy in case you didn\u2019t see them in the magazine. I\u2019m quite chuffed to see it\u2019s for a piece called \u201cAsk America\u2019s Ultimate Experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

I share tips about the benefits of a B- complex vitamin (for adrenal support), vitamin B6 (especially for PMS-type anxiety and worry, the calming amino acid called GABA, plus the mood-boosting and calming benefits of a grass-fed burger (loaded with zinc, iron and omega-3s) and pumpkin seeds as a snack (because they\u2019re rich in both tryptophan and zinc)<\/p>\n

Here are my tips from the article:<\/p>\n

#1 Soothe with supplements<\/h2>\n

Here are some supporting articles and research for some of the above tips. A good B- complex vitamin for adrenal support has been shown to minimize psychological stress after a natural disaster<\/a>\u00a0and vitamin B6 (or pyridoxine) helps with PMS-type anxiety and worry.<\/p>\n

A paper titled Pyridoxine in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome: a retrospective survey in 630 patients<\/a>, reports the following results:<\/p>\n

The daily doses of pyridoxine hydrochloride varied from 40 to 100 mg early in the study and from 120 to 200 mg in the later period of the investigations. The response to treatment was recorded as good (no significant residual complaints) in 40 per cent or more of patients taking 100-150 mg pyridoxine daily and in 60 per cent of patients treated with 160-200 mg daily. Together with partial response (useful benefit but still some significant complaints), the positive effect of the treatment increased to 65-68 per cent and 70-88 per cent respectively. No symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy were reported<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The calming amino acid called GABA helps with the physical-tension and stiff-and-tense-muscles type of anxiety<\/a>\u00a0and helps with worry and inhibition of unwanted thoughts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#2 Tame worry with foods<\/h2>\n

Professor Felice Jacka, nutritional psychiatry researcher, discusses the mood-boosting and calming benefits of grass-fed beef (loaded with zinc, iron and omega-3s) on our Anxiety Summit interview: The Research \u2013 Food to prevent and treat anxiety and depression?<\/a><\/p>\n

Pumpkin seeds are rich in tryptophan and zinc and research shows that a functional food made from these seeds actually helps with social anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n
