Less stress, more energy

All of us have to deal with different kinds of stress on a daily basis.  Whether we are sitting an exam or meeting deadlines at work, our modern lifestyle can take its toll.  When not managed correctly, stress can completely sap our energy levels, leaving us feeling drained both emotionally and physically.

Stress and anxiety are debilitating conditions that upset the balance of our hormones, leading to a loss of our wellbeing and performance, even reducing lifespan.  People under stress can mitigate many of the harmful effects of stress with L-Theanine. 

L-Theanine, an amino acid derived from green tea, has been shown to affect the nervous system by influencing brain wave activity in similar ways to that of meditation.  Studies show that after 30-40 minutes of taking L-Theanine, the alpha brain waves are stimulated to promote a state of deep relaxation and calm.  Simultaneously, the supplement enhances mental alertness, which makes it ideal for times of stress when a sharp mind is required, such as taking an exam or work stress.

While L-Theanine does not cause drowsiness, it has also been shown to improve sleep quality.  It is particularly indicated for sleeplessness due to a racing mind or anxiety.

L-Theanine can be taken daily to maintain a stable relaxed state, or can be used as needed when feelings of anxiety or panic are felt.  It can also be taken when stress is anticipated, such as before flying or a job interview.

Lifestyle changes you can make to help manage stress:

Exercise regularly
Exercise releases feel-good brain chemicals and lifts energy levels

Avoid caffeine, nicotine, sugar and alcohol
These substances contribute to low energy, mood swings and insomnia.  They also deplete vital nervous system nutrients such as magnesium and B vitamins.

Breathe properly
When stressed or tense we tend to shallow breathe, which triggers further anxiety and tension.  Try taking some slow breaths when stressed.

Eat regular healthy meals
Low blood sugar levels are a common trigger for anxiety, mental fog and fatigue.  Eat regular healthy meals and snacks containing protein (not sugar) to keep blood sugar levels stable and the mind alert.

Take time out for yourself - and laugh!
Allowing time to unwind and rejuvenate should be a daily priority.  Exercise, meditation and relaxing hobbies are all great ways to do this.  And don't forget the power of laughter to relax and see the lighter side of life.

Prioritise and learn to say 'no'
Multi-tasking, often considered an efficient practice, actually leads to anxiety and stress overload.  Prioritising tasks and focusing on one job at a time can keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
