SEE WHY CELERY CAN HELP ALLEVIATE ANXIETY
Anxiety is a mental condition with symptoms that come in many forms like panic, nervousness, rapid breathing, muscle twitching, heavy sweating—and there could be a lot more. So, if you feel that you have difficulty in thinking or focusing on what you should be doing within the day, chances are you have anxiety.
Anxiety can be fleeting; but for some, it stays for a period of time much so if it is not remedied. The moment anxiety attacks last longer and interfere with your daily life, you may have what's called an anxiety disorder.
Environmental factors, brain chemistry, genetics, medical factors, or a combination of these can cause anxiety. These factors are triggered by stress we face each day. But natural remedies are available and there are also other things that can help alleviate this condition such as fresh organic juices.
