If you’re wondering how to take charge of your health, stress management and inflammation are two excellent places to start. Prolonged or excessive levels of either can wreak havoc on the body, contributing to many undesired ailments such as headaches, anxiety, fatigue, and even autoimmune disorders.
Fortunately for us, holistic options exist that provide potential support as well as a way to get back in control of your overall well-being. Let’s explore nutrition and other lifestyle strategies to help bring a healthy balance to inflammation and manage stress!
Stress Management
Stress is common among many people. It can be caused by many different things, such as work, family, or financial problems to name a few. While stress is sometimes unavoidable, it can also be managed.*
One way to manage stress is to practice stress management techniques. These techniques can help you cope with stressful situations and reduce the amount of stress you feel. There are many different stress management techniques, but some of the most common ones include meditation, deep breathing, and getting plenty of sleep.†*
If you are feeling stressed out, try one of these techniques. They may not work for everyone, but they can be a great way to start managing your stress.*
Certain herbs and supplements may also help with symptoms of stress. Ashwagandha has been around for thousands of years and has been known to help alleviate stress and anxiety. Our Adrenal Health helps to support healthy stress levels.†*
Inflammation
There are many foods that you can eat to help with inflammation in your body. Some of these foods include cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and leafy greens like kale, spinach, and chard. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, and berries are great anti-inflammatory foods as well. †*
All of these foods are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can help keep your body balanced.*
Turmeric is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and can easily be added to foods, smoothies, or even taken as a supplement. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.†*
Taking proactive measures to reduce stress, such as practicing mindfulness and relaxation will go a long way in relieving the effects of stress on our bodies.
