The Best Medication for Stress Relief is Vitamin C

There are numerous strong procedures with regards to stress medication. It's all too easy to feel that you need to reach for the pharmaceutical cabinet when stress hits causing headaches as well as fatigue. In fact, the more effective stress relief methods stem from meditation, relaxation and social pursuits. That said, if you wish to enhance your efforts to reduce stress by using a supplement, there is one that does not require you to invest all your money on pricey drugs.

The best treatment to alleviate stress is Vitamin C.

Vitamin C decreases both the physical and the psychological effects bestowed on individuals once stress strikes. Those whom consume vitamin C regularly do not show signs of mental stress so easily if suffering from challenges daily. Additionally, those people find themselves able to endure any stressful experience more rapidly than people whom consume very little vitamin C.

Another scientific fact on Vitamin C's effect on stress is related to its effect on hormones. Stress produces a hormone called Cortisol released from our adrenal glands. This transmits the stressed side effects through the body; because the body and mind are in unison, soon the mind is impacted also. The hormone is triggered by a reaction to an event that can cause stress for example a sense of panic or hazard.

How will you be sure of your needed Vitamin C usage as part of your daily medication to relieve stress? Include these in your food intake:

 1.Raw vegetables like broccoli, sprouts, tomatoes and parsley, spinach.
 2.Fresh fruits such as strawberries, bananas, apples.
 3.Red and Green peppers.
 4.One glass of orange juice along with breakfast.
 5.Raw fish meals.
 6.Almonds and walnuts.
 7.Whole wheat.

It is not necessary for you to have a prescription to get your hands on vitamin C. If stress is impacting you adversely, I would advise consulting a doctor. Though, here are some ways to take in the vital body requirements. Vitamin C has been proven to be useful at combating stress disorders. It has latent benefits too like preventing colds. It's also been rumored to help fight cancer.

There are various herbal remedies available that you may ask your physician about however Vitamin C remains the finest medication to relieve stress. It's important to recognize the early phases of stress so that you tackle it before it commences to deteriorate your health. Recognize very rapidly signs of depression and anxiety. Trust me, these issues can escalate into serious mental health problems. Don't be susceptible to it, make certain you take care of your body and mind.

Supplements for Health & Wellness

The foods that we eat in America are not providing the nutrition required for health and wellness.  Many people try very hard to eat vegetables and fruits because they are supposed to be healthier.  The problem with this strategy is the amount of pesticides that are used on crops.


Our bodies have become the filters for all of the toxins that are in our environment. Another problem with the food we eat today is the lack of minerals that are available in the soil.  


While the nutrient density of harvested foods has declined significantly over the past 100 years, at the same time, food consumers are becoming increasingly interested in wellness and the prevention of disease.


Minerals assist the body in a multitude of biochemical processes. Minerals are inorganic compounds found in the soil. Foods grown in soil depleted of minerals do not contain the minerals needed to sustain human health.


The Nutrition Security Institute completed a study that proves as minerals go down, disease goes up.  The changes in the rates of reported chronic diseases between 1980 and 1994 (per 100,000 members of the US population).


Heart Disease increased 18.67% with mineral deficiencies associated with the disease being chromium, copper, magnesium, potassium and selenium.


Chronic Bronchitis is associated with mineral deficiencies of copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc with an increase of disease from 1980 to 1994 of 55.98%.


Tinnitus is up 24.98% and associated with mineral deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.


Bone deformities are up 46.96% with mineral deficiencies of calcium, copper, fluoride and magnesium,


Asthma has the highest increase between 1980 and 1994 of 87.44% with the main deficiency being in magnesium.


Supplements, especially mineral are needed for health in this highly toxic world we live in today.

The Most Effective Free Alternative Acne Treatments

If you can only do one thing for acne the most effective of the alternative acne treatments is staying fully hydrated. Your body requires approx. 66% it's own weight in ounces just to function properly. This means if you weight 200 lbs. you need to drink 132 ounces of water or a little over a gallon of good purified preferably re-structured water. When you sweat, exercise, live in a warm climate, etc.. you will need additional water. Many times a couple of quarts additional is needed before and after an exercise routine or sauna.

Dehydration is the strongest enemy of youth and health there is. Many people suffer from constipation which is normally caused by dehydration. When this happens the colon becomes congested and acne is a common result.

Stay Young, Healthy, Acne Free, Drink More Water!!
