Ditch Stress and Dodge Anxiety NATURALLY
Stress is sneaky.
It’s easy to underestimate the toll it takes on your health and well-being.
And anxiety is rude. It can wallop you out of nowhere, making it hard to even function.
Both are at an all-time high.
But typically, the mainstream approach to resolving them involves prescription meds with disturbing (and downright dangerous) side effects.
Lucky for us, drugs often aren’t necessary. Turn to these proven all-natural remedies instead.
Today, I’ll reveal six of the most effective natural remedies.
And best of all? They’re not exotic “out there” solutions that you can’t get your hands on or that cost a fortune. All are easy to find and reasonably priced.
B Vitamins
If you’re battling stress, consider starting on B vitamins right away.
A recent meta-analysis found that a B-vitamin complex can drive down stress and improve mood. Another with over 7,000 adults confirmed that HIGHER levels of the B vitamin biotin are linked to LOWER levels of stress, depression, and anxiety.
Lower B6 levels are linked to a higher risk for stress. While getting enough B1, B3, and B5 is associated with lower anxiety levels.
These results are likely, at least partly, due to B vitamins regulating the production of the hormone cortisol.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is terrific for boosting your immune system. But its benefits don’t end there. C ALSO shields you from the negative effects of stress.
Animal studies show that vitamin C reduces how much cortisol is released in response to stressful events, effectively controlling its levels.
And in a randomized, controlled human study, high dose vitamin C lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels and subjective stress response. Plus, the vitamin led to faster salivary cortisol recovery.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3s are linked to lower cortisol levels too.
In a study of nurses, omega-3s helped keep cortisol levels manageable, especially in the morning (when levels are usually higher).
In other research out of the Netherlands, 2,700 volunteers suffering from stress-related conditions were tested. They found that low omega-3 levels are associated with elevated cortisol levels, heart rate, and “fight or flight” related hormones.
L-theanine
L-theanine flips the script on the stress story. Tea contains this potent amino acid which doesn’t target cortisol directly. Instead, it RAISES the levels of neurotransmitters that make you feel happy and content, such as serotonin and dopamine.
Research found that taking l-theanine for four weeks significantly reduces stress-related symptoms.
Magnesium
Research shows magnesium helps control stress hormones, including cortisol and ACTH (which regulates cortisol).
In one study, taking magnesium lowered stress levels by over 40 percent. In another systemic review, researchers confirmed magnesium supplements are linked to an improvement in subjective anxiety.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha has long been used in the practice of Ayurvedic medicine. It’s believed to bring balance to the body.
Modern research has found that taking the herb for eight weeks reduces stress and anxiety and lowers cortisol.
P.S. You can’t always avoid stress. The trick is to ensure your body responds in a way that HELPS instead of HURTS. Researchers have identified a simple yet revolutionary way to improve how your body responds. CLICK HERE for the exciting details.
