Stress
Equip your system to cope better
Many people believe their health problems are being caused by stress – but without fully understanding the condition. A certain amount of stress actually helps us to function normally. Stress triggers a release of adrenaline. This causes our heart rate, blood pressure and breathing to pick up, preparing us to deal with potentially challenging situations.
In times gone by, that might have involved fleeing a sabre-toothed tiger. Now, it’s more likely to involve finding a parking space or filing a report at work. However, when stress levels rise too high – or last too long – problems can start to occur.
The adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing adrenaline, become over-strained, affecting sleep patterns, emotional stability and the body’s ability to fight illness. In fact, stress is the second-most commonly reported reason for work-related ill health (exceeded only by musculo-skeletal problems).
Since stress can have a negative effect on your mind and your body, it’s important to know which phase of the stress process applies to you. Once that’s clear, you can begin to pinpoint the specialised nutrients and herbal formulas that help support a healthy stress response. This could involve substances to bring stress hormones under control or formulas to give your energy levels a boost – or even both.
