What's the best vitamins/nutrients to take for stress?!


Question: What's the best vitamins/nutrients to take for stress.?
Answers:
Eat more complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, wholegrain breads and cereals ..... complex carbs help boost your brain levels of the chemical serotonin, making you calmer and less stressed and depressed ~ but no less alert.

Eat more foods rich in magnesium ie ~ leafy and green vegies, organic nuts and seeds such as almonds, brazil nuts and sunflower seeds, fresh fish such as tuna, salmon and sardines wholegrain breads and cereals like rice...... magnesium is known as the antistress mineral and will help level out your mood and anxiety levels enormously.

Leafy and green vegies, almonds, brazil nuts and sunflower seeds, tuna, salmon and sardines are all also rich in calcium ...... calcium rich foods will alleviate tension, irritability and promote relaxation.

Magnesium rich foods will also increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy thus aiding in effective digestion and smoothing out any issues you may have with constipation or headaches and migraines.

Eating foods rich in man made sugar such as candies, cakes, chocolate, icecream, lollies etc.etc.etc. will deplete your body of your B vitamins .... especially vitamin B1, which can bring on depression..... Take a multi B complex supplement including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and folic acid etc.etc. as they work best as a group... the B group of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, immune and digestive functioning and will help you much better deal with the stress of everyday living we are all exposed to at some level or another............ don't take any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless specifically told to do so by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath.

Cut out any soft drinks, sodas, pop, alcohol you may drink and cut right back on caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea if you drink any as they will all dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins ......... drink at least 8 glasses of fresh filtered water daily ...... you'd be amazed at how being just a little dehydrated can affect your mood and energy levels.

Other things that can rob you of your B complex of vitamins are stress, eating too much tinned food, eating too much protein and frozen fruit and vegies, taking antidepressants, antibiotics, otc cold and flu meds, laxatives and diuretics, antihistamines, oral contraceptives & eostrogen supplementation (if you are female), prednisone, potassium supplements, pencillin.

but mostly you should focus on doing things that you really enjoy..... hey, it could be slam dancing around your living room to really loud RoCk music or chasing your mates or your children around the park ...... or even singing out loud when your fave song comes on over the loudspeakers at the shopping centre ...... anything really just so long as it puts a smile on your dial.

peace baby
