1.Consume twenty percent of meat, poultry, seafood (salmon, swordfish, tuna, clams, crab, mussels, and oyster), and products made from soybeans like tofu, eggs, and cheese. 2.Consume thirty to thirty-five percent of baked potato, broccoli, asparagus, peanuts, legumes, watermelon, and oranges. 3.Consume forty to forty-five percent of brown rice, whole grain cereal, pasta, wheat germ, oatmeal, and rye bread.

Alcohol is one of these substances; it raises hyperactivity in the nervous system and elevates alertness. Although, being alert is not necessarily a bad thing; alcohol induced alertness causes agitation and irritability.

Some individuals tend to have secondary triggers of anxiety when withdrawal from a substance is abrupt.
