Word Count: 617 If you’re one of the many who suffer from stress and anxiety then you
probably don’t have time for me to string out the answer to this question.
However, one important aspect of stress relief is to find the time - even just a
few minutes - to relax and take time out. So sit back, get a good cup of
non-caffeinated coffee, and relax for a few moments. Or you could just skip to
the end of the article and look for the answer there. All I will say for now is
that the answer to stress relief is not to eat more cheese.
Stress and anxiety appear to be natural by-products of the industrialized,
modern world. In fact, stress is much older than that and is actually very
beneficial, used as a spur to help us survive. Without stress or anxiety, our
cavemen ancestors would’ve died by the tusk of a Wooly Mammoth, too laid back to
sense the danger and get out of the way. However those same ancestors, and all
of those who followed, also knew about stress management, even if they didn’t
know the term. After all, even the lowliest medieval peasant, tied to a life of
back-bending toil, still got 12 days off at Christmas (that’s where the famous
song gets its name). Most of us only get a measly three or four. Plus, those
same peasants got holidays at Easter too, and there wasn’t much tilling of the
land to be done during winter. Simply put, while our ancestors may have worked
harder, today we work more. This is why anxiety related disorders are increasing
in today’s world, all the stress of work is still there, but now there is no
time to relieve it.
However stress relief and management do exist today, and without the need to
give it all up and live the life of a serf. If what we do is important in
managing stress, then what we eat is just as important - and this is where we
can effectively fight stress and anxiety.
Natural Stress Relief
Welcome back to those of you so busy that you needed to skip down to this part
of the article. You missed a treat, but if you’re stressed, you’re probably busy
too so I understand. So, can natural remedies bring about stress relief? There
are a whole lot of foods that are touted as good stress reduction means.
However, one supplement that finds particular mention as effective for stress
relief is tyrosine.
Tyrosine is an amino acid essential for individuals with certain diseases or
nutritional concerns. It is used by the body to make important neurotransmitters
and for mood regulation. It is an essential amino acid, meaning the body creates
it itself - without the need to get tyrosine from the diet.
Having said that, deficiencies do often occur, and supplements of tyrosine have
been found to lift flagging spirits, help depression, and better manage stress
and anxiety. Very often, tyrosine might have to be taken with other natural
vitamins in order to better help absorption and stress management. It has been
found to bring calm to people who take tyrosine, along with mental and emotional
balance. Not only is it good for stress relief, tyrosine also increases energy
by restoring the levels of endorphins in the brain.
Oh, by the way, the name for tyrosine comes from the Greek tyros, meaning
“cheese”, as the amino acid was first discovered in dairy products. So there is
the answer to the question. And tyrosine supplements are the answer to effective
stress relief.
