Stress and what you can do to decrease your symptoms...

Stress is a key factor to weight loss and weight gain, lack of sleep, anxiety, anger and outbursts. 

During a stressful phase in your life, Cortisol levels rise, neurotransmitter levels become erratic, key nutrients are depleted, and hormone levels become difficult to predict. This could result in premature aging, weight loss or weight gain, lack or restless sleep, tired feelings, depression, anger.

Exercise, meditation, yoga and supplementation can all help. 
Eating clean, sugar free (or as little sugar as possible), regularly and the right amount is key.

A supplement plan that is right for you should be discussed with your doctor, a health or nutrition specialist or your fitness expert. 

Key supplements that help to fight the negative effects of stress:

Magnesium: This multipurpose supplement helps to relax the body while also easing anxiety. The starting dose of magnesium is usually 200 mg and is best in a glycinate or chelate form. Take at least one hour prior to bedtime.

*Melatonin: For those who have trouble falling asleep or who have symptoms of depression, melatonin is a natural time shifter. It will help patients fall asleep and is also taken one hour prior to bedtime. It works best in a slow-release formula. The starting dose of melatonin is 1 mg. Often   melatonin and magnesium are combined in adults with sleep difficulties. Melatonin will not make you drowsy and you will hear your alarm in the morning. 

*Omega-3s: The omega-3 oils (EPA and DHA) act as potent anti-inflammatories. Omega-3 fats work to lubricate both muscles and joints, thereby decreasing pain that could be caused by stress. Most adults take approximately 2-3 grams per day of total omega-3. It also helps to "lubercate" the brain and to help the neurotransmitters get back to their normal rate of firing. Recommended for those who are feeling "blah" or "low". 

Stress Symptom: Anger, Rage and Anxiety

We all know stress worsens our moods, but chronic stress can lead to outbursts of anger or rage. These outbursts are an extreme expression of anxiety, one of the most frequent symptoms of stress. There are a number of anti-anxiety remedies, including the aforementioned magnesium.

Theanine: Found naturally in green and black tea, theanine helps to relax the mind, tuning down the desire to have an adult temper tantrum. Theanine doses begin at 200 mg per day.

*Grape Seed mixed with Vitamin C: This supplement is not an easy one to find. It is a unique blend of white grape seed oil and vitamin C. USANA Health Sciences is one distributor. 300mg-6oomg Vitamin C and 100mg-200mg of grape seed extract is needed daily to help with calming effects and to help with rage or outbursts. It is also a wonderful supplement for the skin and is used as an anti-aging supplement. 

Sit down and talk about what is bothering you, enjoy a cup of tea, a good book, some good music and the company of those who make you feel good. 

Look for supplements that are 80-100% absorbed in the body. RULE OF THUMB: The less expensive the supplement, the lower the absorption rate. 

If you have questions or comments or if you would like to purchase supplements, please contact me. I can also help you to find the supplements/teas that have been discussed here. Those with a * are sold by USANA.

Joint problems? Try Procosa Supplements by USANA

Product Features

Procosa is a product that features five of the most used ingredients in joint and bones regeneration in nutritional area. One of these is glucosamine, a chemical naturally found in fluid form around joints. It is also found in nature and it gets usually extracted from shellfish or shells. Some researchers have studied the implications of glucosamine when it comes to osteoarthritis and came to the conclusion that it can be likely effective for this disease. However, there were studies that revealed positive effects for a type of arthritis known as tempomandibular joint arthritis. When taken in excess, glucosamine might have side-effects like: nausea, heartburn, constipation or diarrhea.

Another reliable ingredient of this formula is vitamin C, an essential bodily vitamin that was used in ancient times to treat scurvy. It is currently used at high rates in treating colds and flues. Moreover, it can be used for a series of skin infections, bronchitis and HIV diseases or for enhancing brain faculties.

USANA Procosa Supplements in Canada

USANA Glucosamine Supplement from USANA Procosa is 33 per cent higher than other glucosamine, provides support for a healthy inflammatory response, optimal joint health, and maintains healthy cartilage.

Directions: 

Take three (3) tablets daily, preferably with meals.

Durations of use: 

Use for a minimum of four (4) weeks to see beneficial effects.

If you are interested in trying Procosa, please message me at sylverbullets@hotmail.com or contact me here. The cost is around $33/bottle and each bottle should last approximately one month. 

Take care of those joints!

What can you do if you aren't sleeping well?

If you’re suffering from constant fatigue, it’s a sign that your body’s normal systems are being disrupted. There’s no reason to try to push through or ignore it. If you’ve tried to get more sleep, reduce stress and change your lifestyle— but you’re still relentlessly tired — your fatigue deserves to be taken seriously. Fatigue tends to snowball, gradually worsening, until you feel like a hamster stuck on an exercise wheel — exhausted and losing steam but not getting anywhere.

Try these simple things before going to see your doctor:

Change your bedtime. If you are going to bed late, go to bed 15 minutes earlier each week for two to three weeks. See if this helps.
Keep your bedroom dark!
Try not to watch TV in the bedroom. 
Do not eat within two hours of sleep.
Try a sleep tea aid (natural)
Try a natural sleep aid like Pure Rest from USANA: Your body may be missing the needed melatonin!
Your body may actually be cold. This is why you are waking up in the middle of the night. Try wearing socks...just once and see what happens. (Yuck! Socks to bed! But you may be surprised).

Hope this helps!
Sylvy :)

Spin Class, what it is, whom it is for? Come try it for FREE!

Free Trial 1 hour Spin Class this Wednesday 6-7pm, Burlington.

What it is: Spinning is a specific format of indoor cycling. Certified Spinning instructors are allowed to teach “Spinning,” but other group cycling programs exist by different names, and some have their own certifications. Spinning is a cardio (aerobic) workout set to music and led by an instructor. Most classes last between 45 and 60 minutes, although some places offer beginner or intro classes that might be shorter.
Whom it's for: Spinning is great for people who want a motivating workout that they can control at their own pace. Even if you’re not into choreography-based fitness classes, you can still enjoy Spinning because it involves neither rhythm nor complex moves. It’s low-impact, so it’s very suitable for people who want to balance out higher-impact exercises (like running) or for people who have some joint problems. Great for the glutes, legs and even arms.
Most spin programs consist of beginners, novice and expert and it's often an even mix of both men and women.

Men tend to spin as their leg workout for the week, women tend to spin more for the butt workout!

I love it! It's my favourite aerobic cardio workout ever!

Come out and try our Spin Class this Wednesday night for free!!! (Regular $10 each)
Email me or message me here for details :) Sylvy
