Ease Your Digestive Stress
Did you know that some foods can actually make you feel more anxious and stressed? Foods high in sugar, caffeine, and fats can make you feel stressed out! “Processed foods especially tend to perpetuate a vicious cycle of guilt, anxiety, cravings, and overeating, making it hard to stop eating them once you start.” – Prevention.com
While we know that some coffee can be good for you, too much can trigger a “flight or fight” response.
Adding mint to your diet can help digestion and help you feel less bloated when you choose to enjoy foods like pasta and dairy. We love Joy Organic's Mint tincture in an after-dinner tea.
Get Better Sleep To Reduce Your Daytime Stress
Getting 6-8 hours of good sleep can help you not only cope with stress better, but it can actually help you fight off conditions like Alzheimer's and reduce your risk for strokes. But getting good sleep can be harder than just turning out the lights.
Simple things like turning off technology 1 hour before you plan to go to sleep can help power down your brain and teach it to get into a better sleep routine.
If you struggle with getting to sleep, Melatonin is a great option that helps your body relax and can trigger your brain to reduce stressful thoughts that keep you up at night.
