We live in a crazy, hectic, fast-paced world that makes it very difficult to maintain a sense of balance. With all the "conveniences" and technology we have at our fingertips, we are more stressed out than ever! Nearly half of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 49 experience everyday stress; and it's not surprising that working mothers between the ages of 25 and 40 report the greatest amount of stress. The health impact of prolonged stress is significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 75-90% of trips to the doctor’s office are stress related.
Some people turn to drinking, smoking, or overeating in an attempt to relieve stress; but these behaviors only increase stress and create other health risks. Stress-driven eating leads to unhealthy weight gain; and many medications used to treat stress come with serious side effects.
Fortunately there are alternatives. A product that I use and recommend is Shaklee's Stress Relief Complex -- natural stress relief you can safely take every day. It's designed to help relax the body and promote a tranquil state of mind without drowsiness while enhancing the body's ability to adapt to stress.* Stress Relief Complex is an excellent addition to a stress-management program that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good social support. (Scroll all the way down for another one of my favorite stress reduction tools.)
Stress Relief Complex* contains key ingredients that:
- Promote relaxation without drowsiness.* L-theanine, a naturally occurring amino acid found in green tea, facilitates the generation of alpha waves that are associated with a relaxed yet alert mental state.*
- Enhance the body’s ability to adapt to stress.* Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to enhance the body’s ability to adapt to stress.*
- Help you reduce the effects of stress on long-term health by blunting the cortisol response to stress.* Beta-Sitosterol, a natural plant sterol, helps to blunt the response of cortisol, a hormone produced after intense physical exercise.*
