If you have a diet high in junk food and fats then you will have a lot more toxins and waste products floating around your biological systems. This can in turn lead to greater levels of anxiety. You should limit the amount of alcohol and caffeine that you consume as well as eradicating any tobacco products that you may be using.

2. Exercise: Each time we workout our body produces hormones called endorphins. When these reach certain cell receptors it creates an uplift in our moods. The positive state of mind that is had from exercising can last for many hours after the activity has finished.

3. Relaxation: You may find it difficult to put to one side the stress and worries of your day. It is now recommended that people who regularly suffer from anxiety take part in an activity such as yoga or meditation that is known to make any individual feel more relaxed and at ease. There are special techniques you can learn which will allow you to focus on positive aspects of your life rather than the negative.

Whenever you feel the tension rise you should make yourself a cup of chamomile tea. The properties of chamomile can quickly reduce the levels of anxiety that are present in any individual. Make sure you check out any potential side effects before using herbs.

5. Hypnosis: The number of people who have anxiety and use hypnotherapy as a form of treatment is increasing each year.
