Effects of Stress – Are You Sick All Of The Time?

Most of us don’t realize that the effects of stress can lead to a weakened immune system that makes us prone to catch every “bug” that comes along.  Do you have a constant cold, or recurring infection or illness?  Chronic stress may very well be the culprit.

If you deal with daily or chronic stress—and who doesn’t—it’s very important to take proactive steps to strengthen your immune system.  After all, who can afford to constantly “under the weather”.  Your work suffers, your family suffers and most importantly—you suffer. 

There’s no need to run to the doctor every time you get a sniffle.  Most prescription and over the counter medications are ineffective because they deal primarily with symptoms and don’t get to the root cause of the infection—which is usually a compromised immune system.

There are many good things you can do to boost your immune system and stay healthy in the face of daily stress.  You don’t have to be at the mercy of the effects of stress any longer.

Vitamins
Add a good vitamin and mineral supplement to your daily regimen—especially during the cold and flu season.  Liquid vitamin supplements are more easily absorbed by your body and, therefore, more effective.

In addition to a good liquid vitamin, add a natural stress reducing supplement to your daily regimen.  I personally recommend lithium orotate.  I wouldn’t be without it.  This is not the synthetic lithium that a psychiatrist might prescribe.  It is a natural alternative to anti-depressant medications with no side effects that has helped many people overcome stress, mood swings and even bi-polar tendencies.  Lithium orotate should not be taken with prescription medications for depression.  Consult with your doctor for guidance in discontinuing prescription depression medications before adding lithium orotate to your regimen. 

Diet
Eat your veggies!  A healthy and balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables and healthy proteins is vitally important to building and sustaining a strong immune system.  Healthy “living” foods will feed your body’s “living cells” and will work wonders in combating the effects of stress.

Exercise
Move it or lose it!  Get some sort of daily exercise.  Enjoy some fresh air and walk the dog if weather permits or “unearth” that treadmill sitting in the corner and get at least 20-30 minutes of exercise each day.  This will also serve as a great stress reliever.

You-Time
Enjoy some quiet time each day.  Get up 15 or 20 minutes earlier than everyone else and enjoy some “you” time.  Do a few stretching and deep breathing exercises, make your “to do” list for the day, enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee and meditate on the things in your life for which you are grateful.  It’s a great way to start the day!

If you put these suggestions into practice, the effects of stress will no longer “rule” your life.  Take control and start your “stress-less” life today!

Recommendation:

1. Lithium Orotate is an all natural supplement (unlike prescription synthetic lithium prescribed by doctors) that has proven very effective for taking the edge off of chronic stress and anxiety. I have personally used it for the past couple of years and find it very helpful in lifting the stress and lightening my mood. It does not cause any drowsiness or foggy thinking at all–in fact it seems to sharpen my mind and give clarity of thought. Highly recommended!
2. Conquering Stress is an incredibly helpful guide to managing stress, anxiety and depression naturally without making major “life changes” or taking prescription antidepressants. It’s very well thought out and has helped a lot of people gain control of chronic stress in their lives.Take the time to educate yourself and make a serious plan to take control of your mental, emotional and physical health by kicking stress, anxiety and depression out of your life quickly and permanently!

Warning: If you are currently on prescription anti-depressants, you must work with your doctor to safely discontinue use, if desired. Do not abruptly discontinue use of such medications as this could cause severe withdrawal effects.
