Considering everything we do is stressful, understand that
there is good stress and bad stress. Eating more under stress
and becoming emotionally disturbed with cravings for more
food triggers our emotions even further. For
our crazy lifestyle where the whole world is churning around
us, Bach
Flowers Rescue Remedy, which comes in a tincture
or spray, is very helpful. For those spur of the moments
when one needs calming, Bach
Flowers Cherry Plum helps. Stress factors can include
change of relationship, unpredictability, insecurity etc..
You know yourself when too much is happening and you are
on that merry-go-round, on your way to the funny farm. Sitting
back and learning to adjust is not only painful and stressful,
but difficult. Stress
Support with theanine (a unique amino acid found
in tea leaves) by Jarrow
Formulas produces a relaxed alert situation, influencing
brain neurotransmitters. Learning to cope with very difficult
situations, and being on the receiving end of all of this,
can make us ber with the right nutritional supplementation
such as Country
Life's Stress-M,
which has aminos that crosses the blood brain barrier.
I'm not mentioning here all the pharmaceuticals that we
are brainwashed into thinking that will calm our nerves
and make us a better person. There are a lot of prescriptions
as a first line of defense written for stress, and explaining
all the side effects. If we have those side effects, we
better start cleaning our liver, as you may be aware our
liver holds all those toxins. Stress hits us there too,
and stays. One very good product is Bupleurum

Cleanse by Planetary
Herbals, a 5000-year-old Chinese herb with other
yin and yang herbs. Stress becomes so many diseases and
stores in our bodies like an unwelcome guest, it can hit
anywhere … the digestion tract, bladder, heart rate, muscles,
skin issues, and brain of course telling our organs what
to do. This is the number one on the list of what happens
to us. It can also trigger release of hormones that promote
blood clotting …for that better take Wobenzym.
Stress also releases glucose into the blood stream, causes
hypertension and hardening of the arteries, strokes and
heart attacks. No wonder all those guys are getting zapped!
