Supporting Stress

Key Points Summary:

• Support your nervous system – Chronic stress can influence how we feel day to day, and contribute to irritability, poor sleep and low mood. Prioritising nervous system support with proper nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve resilience and emotional wellbeing, especially during periods of mental pressure or feeling overwhelmed.
• Lifestyle strategies for stress relief – Mindfulness, meditation, movement, and deep breathing can naturally promote relaxation, ease feelings of overwhelm, and how the body responds to stress, and contribute to mental well-being.
• Nutrition for Mental Wellbeing – B vitamins, magnesium, and omega-3 fats contribute to normal psychological function and normal nervous system activity. Reducing sugar, caffeine and processed foods can support a more stable stress response.
• Botanical and nutritional support – Lemon balm, L-theanine, and holy basil in Calm Complex support calm, emotional wellbeing and sleep quality, particularly during busy or demanding times. 
• An Independent User Trial involving 76 participants showed that Calm Complex helped 96% of people to find their moment of calm, with many describing feeling more settled and better able to cope with daily pressures.

Here are some useful tips to help you support your nervous system

• Practice daily mindfulness or meditation to help reduce stress, making you calmer, more focused and centered during moments of mental pressure. Apps including Headspace and Calm have guided meditations.
• Reframe your mindset by learning to be more present and appreciate the simple things in life. Focusing on small positive moments supports emotional balance and helps shift the mind away from worry. 
• Ensure a good evening and sleep routine by reducing exposure to blue light in the evening (TV, phone, laptop etc.) and sleeping in a cool, dark room to support healthy sleeping patterns, which are essential for mental wellbeing.
• Incorporate daily movement through walking, yoga, running or swimming etc. Exercise can benefit your mental state by releasing endorphins and relieving tension during stressful periods.
• Take time to breathe as the breath has a direct impact on our parasympathetic nervous system, supporting feelings of calm and grounding. Spend 5-10 minutes focusing on breathing deeply every day.

• Increase your intake of B vitamins through leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard, broccoli) and meat, or supplement with B12 if vegan. Also increase your intake of omega-3 through oily fish (salmon, sardines, kippers) or supplement with algal omega-3 to support healthy cell membranes.
• Balance blood sugar by reducing your intake of refined sugars found in cereals, biscuits, chocolate, cakes, and ultra-processed snacks to help maintain steadier energy levels and emotional balance
• Avoid or significantly reduce stimulants and depressants such as caffeine and alcohol which can lead to feeling restless or mentally tensioned. Instead, opt for herbal teas like chamomile, lemon balm and green tea and have coffee before lunch.
• Choose gentle, nourishing foods like fresh whole foods, herbal teas and lighter evening meals to support relaxation and calmness.
• Lower overall load by filtering water, choosing organic produce where possible and using glass or stainless-steel containers to reduce unnecessary dietary stressors.
