Let's talk about two detrimental effects on our well-being: stress and anxiety.
Stress and anxiety are often accompanied by symptoms including concern, trouble focusing, insomnia and fast heartbeat. These are typically brought on by stress at work, difficulties in personal relationships, worries about money, traumatic experiences and health problems.
Stress can present as either acute or chronic in nature. Chronic stress brings about a wide range of health problems including exhaustion, lowered thyroid function, cardiovascular problems, alterations in blood sugar, weight gain, muscle breakdown, altered immune function and more. It is easy to see how a major precursor for many of the health problems we see in America today is the stress that we all seem to be dealing with. The hormonal changes brought on by stress can have a major impact on many of the systems in the body. Interestingly, when researchers interview centenarians from around the world, the one aspect that is common in all of these individuals is a lack of stress, or a means of managing their stress before their stress manages them.
So how do we manage stress? We need to avoid those things that stress us. However, it is impossible for most of us to leave our jobs, our families and our other responsibilities. Instead, we need to avoid poor dietary choices that often accompany stress. We need to provide ourselves with daily periods of moderate exercise, which is how we as humans are designed to alleviate our stress. We need to obtain adequate, restful sleep. Most of all, we need to lower our response to our daily stress and keep ourselves healthy so that we can better manage our stress and our lives.
Regular exercise, mindfulness, making healthy lifestyle choices, consulting with a healthcare professional about including nutraceuticals in your daily routine can assist with managing stress and anxiety.
Nutritional supplements, such as L-Theanine, Relora 250 mg and GABA Calm, have been found to be helpful in lowering our stress hormones and making us calmer when they are taken during the course of our day. Combination products, such as Relaxation Formula, taken during the course of the day can help us to relax and calm down so that we can fall sleep and obtain a restful night’s sleep.†Finally, specialized, high-potency vitamin B formulations like Super Stress Support and Super B-Complex can provide us with the solid nutritional support that we need to prevent metabolic breakdown brought on by stress.â€
