Natural Stress Remedy – The Herbal Way

by Jen Engevik
written by Jen Engevik

Looking for a natural cure to anxiety? According to body + soul Magazine, for occasional anxiety, L-theanine (an amino acid found in tea leaves) can help make you relax when overstressed.

You can purchase L-theanine at health food stores and vitamins shops.

Dose: 200 mg (in capsule form) as needed.

I’ve used L-theanine while flying on international trips and the next couple of days while adjusting to jet-lag and it’s worked wonders!

It’s a great alternative to doctor prescribed medications that can be habit forming.

And if you don’t want to take even an herbal supplement to overcome your anxiety? Try breathing deeply, exercise and extended  moments of silence. And above all, remember that you own your own mind — you can determine your focus and mindset at any given moment.

No Excuses!

Michael Brummer, Personal Trainer, Shares How You Can Maintain Excellent Fitness —

An essential ingredient in maintaining one’s fitness is having the mindset NO EXCUSES!  No matter what your age, occupation, financial status, daily schedule, etc., there is a way to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle.

BUSY PARENTS: If you’re a busy parent, exercise before your children wake-up in the morning, while they’re at school, or after they go to sleep at night.

TIGHT FINANCES: If finances are tight and you’re unable to sign-up at a gym, you can walk or jog around your neighborhood, purchase a low-cost exercise DVD you can view at home, use the stairs instead of the elevator, or park farther away in a parking lot when you’re shopping.

HECTIC SCHEDULE: If you have a hectic schedule, you must make exercise a priority.  Schedule it into your day even if it means getting-up an hour earlier or watching less tv, exercise must be a priority!

Remember, if you have the mindset of NO EXCUSES, you will make exercise part of your regular schedule no matter what your circumstances, which will make exercise part of your lifestyle!

Kale!

Kale for Health!

Too many people see kale simply as a way to dress up a plate and then is left for compost after a meal has been devoured. But what you should know is that it is one of the most nutrient rich greens on our planet! Studies have shown that kale has the power to stave off cancer; reduce chances of cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis, emphysema; and provides an excellent energy boost.

Kale offers  a strong dose of vitamin A, chlorophyll, vitamin C, calcium, iron, folic acid and potassium.

Ways to prepare:

  • Juice a handful of leaves
  • Eat it raw (very few people enjoy this method)
  • Saute in olive oil with fresh garlic
  • Find a great recipe

Keep in mind, bold living requires optimum health!
