Today's business, economic, and world crises have added to already complicated American lives, possibly pushing even the most serene people over the edge, especially for those most affected by the latest events (such as people in banking, finance, and real estate who've seen their jobs diminish or disappear).
The American Psychological Association's (APA) annual Stress in America survey -- conducted mid-June to mid-August, 2008 -- shows that increasing stress is taking its toll on Americans' physical and emotional health. The survey found that, while everyone is affected, older women are most affected; and, this stress affects health and coping behaviors.(+)
According to Dr. Michael T. Yatcilla, Natrol's Research and Development VP, "It is well known that stress can cause a host of mental and physical health issues, including anxiety, irritability, nervousness, headaches, sleep challenges and fatigue, as well as digestive issues and even weight-gain."(1)
While nobody can predict when things will improve, there are things we can do to help relieve stress, and stay calm during uncertain times. Natrol, Inc. -- a premier marketer, manufacturer, and distributor of nationally branded nutritional products -- reminds everyone that the same techniques which keep us mentally and physically fit during the good times are just as important, and perhaps even more important, to utilize during difficult times. Additionally, some supplements can help to naturally calm nerves, including:
-- Natrol(R) 5-HTP Time-Release 200mg - A drug-free, plant-derived source of an amino acid that naturally increases the body's level of serotonin -- the chemical messenger affecting emotions, behavior, appetite, thought, and sleep -- to help promote relaxation, calm, and greater appetite control, as well as helping to support a more positive mood (SRP - $24.99 for 30 tablets; comes in 50mg and 100mg formulas, as well as a 100mg Time-Release formula which is also sold at Costco as 5-HTP Mood Enhancer);(1)
-- Natrol(R) Mood Positive(TM) 5-HTP - An advanced formula with 5-HTP, Theanine, and B vitamins to support balanced serotonin levels, feelings of happiness and well being, and to help reduce anxiety. Theanine, extracted from green tea leaves, assists with non-drowsy relaxation and calmness (SRP - $19.99 for vegetarian 50 tablets); and,(1)
-- Natrol(R) SAMe (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) - An amino acid naturally produced by the body. Many clinical studies exist regarding the use of SAMe supplementation to enhance mood and promote a positive outlook (SRP - $20.99 for 20 enteric-coated, vegetarian tablets).(1)
Dr. Yatcilla continues, "It is so important during stressful times to maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and sleep routine each and every day...this will go a long way toward preserving mental and physical health, keeping immunity and spirits up. And, for those who need a little extra support, supplements can help."(1)
Along with its annual survey report, the APA offers other materials on Stress in America, including a tip sheet for managing stress during tough economic times. The APA recommends that people be mindful of their stress levels and related symptoms such as irritability and nervousness, appetite and sleep changes, headaches and stomach aches. The APA also urges people to reach out for support from others, including family and friends, and to seek professional help.(+)
