Do you believe that diet and exercise can cure anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: They can certainly help, depending on the cause of anxiety. Some people have methylation problems (test mthfr), some are low in magnesium (test rbc magnesium). And many other things including food sensitivities can contribute to anxiety as well.
