Salt
Salt, especially table salt, stresses your body and can deplete it of potassium (an important mineral that keeps your nervous system healthy) and raise blood pressure, putting an extra strain on your heart. In one study, students with higher levels of anxiety reported higher salt consumption and lower levels of exercise. Avoid salting your food and use a natural salt substitute such as tamari, or use herbs such as basil and oregano or lemon to spice your food. Avoid buying canned or frozen foods that list salt as an ingredient.

Saturated Fats
Foods high in saturated fats such as fried foods, hamburgers, and french fries, lead to sluggishness and fatigue. Fats inhibit the synthesis of neurotransmitters and cause blood cells to become sticky and clump together, resulting in poor brain circulation.

Sugar
Americans, on average, eat sixty-five pounds of sugar a year, way too much of the simple sugars that can create anxiety and panic. What your brain needs is naturally occurring sugar (glucose) to function by burning it for fuel. Much of this form of sugar is derived from carbohydrate foods such as cereal, bread, potatoes, vegetables, fruits (especially grapefruit and apples), pasta, and brown rice. Simple sugars from cakes, pies, candy, and other sweets are problematic for your body because they tend to break down too quickly, stressing your body by causing an oversecretion of insulin from your pancreas, and resulting in an imbalance in sugar

Caffeine
Several of my clients could directly trace their sleeping problems and sometimes their first panic attack to caffeine. Coffee is the most obvious, but there are many other sources of caffeine, including tea, cocoa, Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Tab, Pepsi, chocolate, and even decaffeinated coffee! Many over-the-counter drugs also contain caffeine, among them Anacin, Caffedrine, Empirin, Excedrin, Pre-mens Forte, Vanquish, Vivarin, and No-Doz.

Caffeine stimulates several different parts of your body. It releases adrenaline into your body just as if you’re undergoing stress. It also pours norepinephrine into your brain, causing you to feel more awake and alert. By keeping you in a constant state of arousal, your adrenal glands and other portions of your body are kept in a state of emergency. This can be very stressful.

This kind of over arousal makes you more vulnerable to anxiety and panic. Add to that stress the fact that caffeine acts as a diuretic that pushes calming minerals and antistress B vitamins out in your urine. Caffeine is not something you want to subject your body to.

Klonopin helps you relief anxiety and restore your life.

Wean yourself off caffeine, but do it slowly. Gradually mix in a half cup of decaffeinated with half a cup of coffee. Slowly increase the decaffeinated coffee over a week or so until you are drinking decaffeinated coffee only. Better yet, do the same with caffeinated tea and herbal tea. Do the same with cocoa and carob and chocolate candy and carob candy. Also, start drinking noncaffeinated sodas or mixing them as suggested above.
