Robbins cites studies of cancer and heart patients who often panic when told of their illness, which in turn leads to helplessness and depression, thus impairing their own immune systems. On the other hand, when such patients are freed from depressions produced by such labels, and they understand the need of the body to become healthy, their immune system often undergo immediate boost. Therefore, wise physicians are very careful about the way they communicate. Avoid eating three hours before going to bed. Include low fat, calcium-rich foods.
Calcium has a calming effect on the nervous system.
Include some broccoli or carrots in your diet. Lie comfortably on your back with a pillow underneath your knees. Breathe rhythmically and deeply in a relaxed manner. Visualize your feet. Tense your toes and feet, then suddenly relax them.
