Your day is going along fine and then your boss calls you in to the office – your heart starts racing. Your son comes home and tells you he is dropping out of university – your chest is pounding so hard you think you are having a heart attack. Whatever triggers your anxiety all would agree that they really wish they could get rid of those apprehensive feelings and full blown attacks.
According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America anxiety disorders affect more than 19 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 54. That’s 13% of the population. The most common symptoms include a fast heart rate, increase in blood pressure, muscle tension, rapid breathing, and nausea/diarrhea.
In some cases, anxiety is so severe that it requires medication from a doctor. But in other cases there are ways to handle it without prescription drugs. We are going to look at 10 things you can do to help reduce your anxiety and we are also going to look at how HGH or human growth hormone can help.
#1 Identify Your Fears
The unknown produces the most anxiety. So make a list of what it is that is worrying you. Are you worried about your spouse being hurt at work, your daughter/son being sick, losing your job. Then once you identify those fears it’s time to address them and recognize the ‘real risk.’ For example, what are the statistics of job site injuries. Once you are no longer letting your imagination run wild your will calm your fears and thus your anxiety.
#2 For 45 Minutes Live Your Anxiety
According to research, if you can expose yourself to what makes you anxious for just 45 minutes you will begin to be able to cope with that particular anxiety. You may have to repeat several times until you can desensitize yourself but don’t give up.
#3 Eliminate all Caffeinated Foods, Medications, and Drinks
Caffeine contributes to that jittery, tense, anxious feeling. Most of us know that there is caffeine in a number of beverages but don’t realize that food and medications can also contain caffeine. Eliminating all sources of caffeine can help to decrease your anxiety.
#4 Get Moving
Whether it’s walking, running, or biking – exercise that takes you away from the situation and the anxiety attack is good. Getting your blood pumping and your endorphins flowing can help to reduce anxiety symptoms.
#5 When You Are Tired Avoid Conversations That Cause Anxiety
Solving stressful problems at the end of your day or just before you head to bed can increase your anxiety. You know what time of the day you find yourself becoming more anxious so make this a ‘trouble free’ zone.
#6 Watch the News
Just 20 minutes of watching the news and you’ll suddenly have an entirely new perspective. Your world won’t seem so troubled after you see the world around you with its endless disasters.
#7 Speak to Yourself
It’s okay to talk to yourself. How did you handle situations that were similar in the past, what were your strengths, how did you handle those challenging moments, those moments of anxiety.
#8 Do Something That Makes You Happy
This can be anything. It can be a trip to the movies, a good book, a visit to the museum. You might be surprised to learn tests that measure anxiety shows those that are bored actually score higher.
#9 Keep an Anxiety Journal
Create a journal and every time you are anxious write down what was happening and how you calmed yourself. Review your anxiety journal about once a month and then create a plan of action off of this.
#10 Human Growth Hormone Supplements
HGH supplements are made from natural ingredients that help your body to produce more HGH, thereby increasing your levels to what they were when you were younger. Now if you are wondering what role this plays on your anxiety, you might be surprised to learn that there are numerous studies that have shown that HGH supplements will reduce, even alleviate, anxiety and depression.
Evidence for HGH Supplements Reducing Anxiety and Depression
There have been a number of studies in the USA, Sweden, Denmark, and England that have shown how HGH supplements can reverse the effects of anxiety and depression. In December 1996 a report published in the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine, by Dr. L. Cass Terry, showed that those who took HGH supplements shows a 67% improvement in emotional stability and an 80% improvement in the attitude towards life. This was a large study with more than 900 people and 300 of those participants were actually doctors.
- Another study done by Dr. Thierry Hertoghe gave HGH supplement to another large group of individuals. The results showed that there was a 70% decrease in anxiety and an 82% decrease in depression.
- Another study done back in 1998 showed that HGH supplements improved the sleep patterns in men suffering from depression. They awoke feeling rested and with lower levels of anxiety and depression.
- A Swedish study done in 1996 found that HGH supplements interacted with the brain in a way that was similar to what antidepressant medications did. There was an increase in the levels of neurotransmitter B-endorphins and this increased the feelings of well being. HGH reduces dopamine in the brain and so individuals were less irritable and suffered from lower levels of anxiety and agitation.
