If you want to reduce unhealthy
stress, start by identifying the problems and situations that create stress,
then learn to manage them by practicing general techniques of stress
protection, such as breathing exercises. As for supplements, consider the
following:
1.
B-complex. B
vitamins can help balance mood, calm the nervous system, and increase the
efficacy of certain prescription antidepressants.
2.
Omega-3 (fish oil) supplement from molecularly distilled fish oil. A deficiency in omega-3
fatty acids has been associated with increased anxiety and depression.
3.
Valerian (Valeriana
officinalis). An
extract from the root of this flowering perennial contains essential oils that
have been shown to help some people more effectively deal with stress.
4.
Calcium and magnesium. Both are involved in many key physiologic processes and
may help support healthy sleep, as well as muscle relaxation.
5.
St. John's wort (Hypericum
perforatum). Extracts
of this flowering herb, indigenous to Europe, may help boost mood and maintain
a healthy emotional outlook.
6.
L-Theanine.
This extract of tea can help promote a sense of calm and relaxation without
sedation.
