Content: If you’re dealing with anxiety, I recommend a number of lifestyle changes that may help. Chief among them are practicing breathing exercises, particularly the relaxing breath, which I find to be reliable and effective. Other worthwhile measures include exercise, meditation, eliminating caffeine (from all sources), cognitive behavioral therapy, journaling and taking a “ news fast ” by avoiding the daily onslaught of (mostly bad) news online, on television and in newspapers and magazines. For mild to moderate depression, I recommend exercise – 30 minutes a day. It is the most effective treatment I know. You can also try these other integrative recommendations for dealing with depression. For a full discussion of natural remedies for depression and an integrative plan for optimum emotional well-being, watch for my new book, Spontaneous Happiness, to be published by Little, Brown & Co. in November of this year. Andrew Weil, M.D.
