If you’re looking for simple and effective natural methods to relieve
stress, Dr Jonathan Wright of
Nutrition & Healing has the solution.
Use these natural methods to ease stress
According to Dr Wright, there are several natural supplements that are known to have a calming effect.
“First there are the nutrients niacinimide and vitamin B12 (which generally work best when taken intravenously). Then there are the herbs kava and St. John’s wort, which have both been shown in numerous studies to help alleviate stress and
anxiety,” explains Dr Wright.
According to
MedlinePlus, St. John’s wort is most commonly used for
depression and conditions that sometimes go along with
depression such as
anxiety, tiredness, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping. Meanwhile, kava is used to calm anxiety, stress and restlessness as well as treat
sleep problems (insomnia).
Keep in mind that both niacinimide and vitamin B12 need to be used under a doctor’s supervision in order to have dosages and responsiveness closely monitored.
Dr Wright adds that it’s advisable you look at your diet to see if it’s too high in refined sugar and carbohydrates before you take any of these supplements.
You see, eliminating refined sugar, white flour and other highly processed foods from your diet can help your body regulate insulin. This is important because when your body’s
blood sugar falls, adrenaline is released to compensate, which in turn can induce the symptoms of anxiety.
Eating smaller, more frequent meals containing a variety of protein and vegetables is a wiser choice, as is staying away from caffeine.
Well there you have it. With these natural methods, you’ll be sure to relieve stress.
