Very little progress is possible in dealing with anxiety panic attack
and agoraphobia without addressing diet. In fact many professionals
believe that addressing diet is the total cure for overcoming panic
and anxiety. However, I'v learned that other factors such as
personality, understanding the general adaptation syndrome, methods
of dealing with disappointment, understanding the difference between
observation and conclusion... are also important to deal with in
detail. This program produced results of 80% success rate for those
suffering from anxiety panic attack and agoraphobia.
So let's begin with diet. Diet is the foundation of improvement and
without it we can not expect any improvement--absolutely none.
A high refined carbohydrate diet consisting of bagels, rolls, breads,
cakes, coffee and sodas containing caffeine is the biggest mistake
that can be made. Why?
Simply because refined sugars from these types of foods easily break
down to blood sugar causing a rapid rise of blood sugar--as much as
50 calories/minute. For years this may not be a problem, but
eventually it's like crying "wolf." This rapid increase in blood
sugar is sensed by the pancreas which counters it with the creation
of insulin to reduce the blood sugar. Under normal conditions the
blood sugar would stabilize, however, after years and years the
system is overtaxed and causes an over abundance of insulin to be
created. This over abundance causes the blood sugar to drop too low
which is the condition known as hypoglycemia....
