STRESSED

Are you stressed? I think I just heard an earth-shattering yes! You are one of the roughly six billion people in the world who experiences chronic stress.

Stress places a massive strain on your immune system. It wasn't meant to be around all the time. Check out what chronic stress does to your body here. It messes with your hormones and robs your body of important nutrients.

If you're experiencing a lot of stress, you're going to need some:

• B vitamins, especially B5, which helps keep your adrenal gland healthy, and B1 and B6 to decrease stress through production of energy and neurotransmitters. 
• Magnesium, which is a calming mineral. It chills you out, helps you sleep, and gets sluggish bowels moving (constipation can be a nasty side effect of stress)!
• Vitamin C to reduce levels of cortisol.
• Antioxidants, such as vitamin A and E. These help fight infection and free radical damage.
