According to Dr. Andrew Weil, research suggests people with anxiety have lower than normal levels of Omega-3 fatty acids and adding them to the diet may help with the symptoms of anxiety. You can get more Omega-3s in your diet by eating more fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, or mackerel, walnuts, and/or freshly ground flaxseed. If you don't like any of those foods, take a fish oil supplement daily - 2 to 3 grams a day with meals.
Caution: If you are taking coumadin or other blood thinning drugs, be sure to check with your doctor before taking fish oil supplements which can react with your medication.
