Stress and anxiety seem to be a modern epidemic these days, busy people juggling work, family and households, everyone seems to be have so much on their plate.
While a little bit of stress can help you get things done, ongoing unrelenting stress is damaging to your long-term health and has been related to compromised immune system, depleted adrenal function and chronic disease. Ongoing stress is also one of the causative factors of depression, mood disorders and insomnia.
The body’s requirements for nutrients increases significantly during stress, and if you don’t have adequate nutrients during times of stress you may experience nutritional deficiencies, which decreases your body’s ability to cope. It’s a vicious circle really.
