It pains us to admit, but stress is an unavoidable fact of life. (Even admitting that was stressful!). Stress affects everyone, in different forms, whether it comes from a spat with a sibling, a poor performance appraisal at work, or a \u201cbad drive\u201d on the highway. Excess stress can rob the body of essential nutrients, particularly B vitamins, and lower the effectiveness of the immune system. This is why we often find ourselves fighting up with the cold and flu more often when we\u2019re juggling too many things at once [source<\/a>]. We can accept it as part of our lives, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re powerless over it! Practising yoga, daily meditation and keeping a gratitude journal contribute immensely to lowering stress levels over the long term, but how can we manage anxiety and tension causing moments in the here and now?<\/p>\n

Light it Up<\/h3>\n

Aromatherapy is a scientifically proven way to naturally lower your stress level. Light a lavender candle or incense stick in a quiet space, and take slow, deep, calming breaths to restore your peace of mind. [Source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Laugh it off<\/h3>\n

A clich\u00e9 is a clich\u00e9 because it\u2019s true. Laughter really is <\/em>the best medicine! A good laughing session lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, and raises your levels of endorphins, the \u201cfeel-good\u2019 chemical produced naturally in your body. Take time out of your day to for a good \u201cold talk\u201d session with your work mates for an instant stress buster. [Source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Sing it Out<\/h3>\n

Gridlock traffic on the way home can send your blood pressure sky high\u2026or it can be an opportunity to belt your favourite tunes at the top of your lungs! Play \u201cTraffic Karaoke\u201d with your kids to pass the time, or if you\u2019re riding alone, bop and groove to your favourite power soca tunes! Listening to the music you love lowers blood pressure, heart rate and even anxiety, and provides a welcome distraction to the bumper to bumper afternoon commute. [Source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Take Your Supplements<\/h3>\n

Most people either don\u2019t remember to eat properly when under loads of stress, or use their favourite snacks and junk food as coping mechanisms. When B complex vitamins are depleted through poor eating habits, they are no longer fully available for energy production and proper mental function. This is why you often experience tiredness, stomach upset, a variety of nervous ailments, and lowered immunity to colds, viral infections, and other diseases in stressful periods. B vitamins helps your\u00a0nervous system by reducing anxiety, depression, irritability, and nervousness. Jamieson B 100 Complex supplies 100 mg\/mcg of every B vitamin essential for stress relief, in time-diffused caplets to gradually release these important nutrients over 6 to 8 hours so juggling a tough work day with a demanding personal schedule is no challenge at all!
