What are effective lifestyle changes to combat anxiety?

Healthy nutrition, regular sufficient sleep, and meaningful social connection can help support anxiety management.

• Personalize a healthy dietary routine: Aim for quality nutrition that fits your needs; the right foods and approach can be highly individual. 1
• Get regular, sufficient sleep: Consistent, ample sleep helps stabilize the autonomic nervous system and supports fear circuitry and clear cognitive function. 2
• Maintain meaningful social connections: Time with people you recognize and trust can support well-being and help suppress tachykinin, a stress-related molecule associated with fear and paranoia. 3 4
