We’ve all been there: a work deadline is looming, and you haven’t even started. Now you have to leave early to pick up the kids, but the traffic is horrendous. Aaaaghhh!!!! Wouldn’t it be great if there was a fast way to soothe tension in times of heightened stress? Well, there is, and it comes in the form of a natural, non-alcoholic, effervescent, and yummy drink. Before we get to that, let’s look at stressful signs to watch out for.
Stress is a biggie. The modern world is stressful, there are no two ways about it. Trouble is, this constant, low-grade but often super intense stress is making us unhealthy.
Stressful signs
- Pumping out stress hormones is tiring and bad for the brain. You may notice you find it difficult to focus on even the simplest things.
- As well as a foggy brain, you might get more frequent ills and chills.
- You might get a tweak in your back that just won’t go away like it did when you were 20.
- You never used to suffer from head tension, but you do now.
- You’ve discovered that you grind your teeth at night when you sleep…if you sleep.
- Your eye has started twitching, your hair falling out, and you can’t stop your thoughts racing at night.
- Oh, and you blow up at any little thing, both in your reactions to your family, and in your tummy after a heavy dinner. Eeek.
These are actually some of the lesser-known signs that you’re feeling stressed. The good news is that there is a lot you can do about stress levels without moving to a deserted island or hiding in the garden shed every weekend. The lovely naturopaths here at Good Health have given you some tips on this, in 10 Tips to Support Stress Relief, Naturally. They may take a little effort on your part, but most of them you can do for free. You can also read No Stress, No Fuss, if you’d like to know more about the stress response and how it can affect you.
Now, what about that effervescent drink?
