For instance, natural chewing gum with fennel seeds.  Additionally and of note, fennel seeds have been found in some studies to increase the amount of nitric oxide in the body which can cause blood vessel dilation and all the benefits of doing so.  For example, lowering blood pressure and aiding performance enhancement for athletes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, there are many other techniques and strategies that we discuss in our free newsletter which provides an overall approach to anxiety, stress, panic attacks, and ADHD.&nbsp; Please <a href=\"https:\/\/panicattackrecovery.com\/index.php\/newsletter\/\">click here and subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/panicattackrecovery.com\/index.php\/how-to-break-the-cycle-of-sensitivity\/\">Click here to view more of our recent content<\/a><\/h4><script src=\"https:\/\/apis.google.com\/js\/platform.js\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channelid=\"UCJfm1Oh6tZl2clckmX3pQ7w\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"hidden\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n<script id=\"godaddy-security-s\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sucuri.net\/badge\/badge.js\" data-s=\"221\" data-i=\"cfb2b3c6bbd25e7a29b59a6904ea23c6336163afd4\" data-p=\"o\" data-c=\"d\" data-t=\"g\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we want to tell you about a study done by Swinburne University of Technology, which looked at the effects of chewing gum and found implications for cognitive tasks and mental health.
