Stress and Memory
So we all know that we have reasons aplenty to feel stressed right now. And it has been going on for a long time, with not too much hope of an end in sight.
This have a serious effect on our brains as the amygdala (survival centre) takes over and all our higher functions a have to take a back seat. This includes such important things as committing information to memory. An early sign of too much stress is therefore forgetfulness.
Many suggestions are on offer to help alleviate the problem, including meditation, getting a good night’s sleep, getting counselling, exercising regularly, and even eating better. These are all great ideas, but they are essentially long-term solutions and take time to settle into our routines and become really effective.
Is there anything we can do immediately to support the process of putting the other better habits in place? I believe there is, and I make use of it. What I am talking about is certain nutritional supplements that really are important for helping us deal with the physiological responses to stress. Speaking for myself, I know for sure that I am not getting enough from my diet, despite really paying attention to what I eat, and I am therefore obligated to fill the gaps with the supplements I have chosen to use.
What I recommend are the following:
- A good balanced Multivitamin Complex
- A good, balanced, all-natural Vitamin B Complex. Called anti-stress vitamins for a reason!
- A good, pure Omega 3 Salmon Oil supplement to reduce stress-induced inflammation
- Extra Magnesium
- Extra Zinc
- Extra Vitamin C. As a bonus Vitamin C and Zinc support your immunity as well!
- Extra Vitamin D. Low levels of this vitamin are linked to increases stress, anxiety and depression.
And as a bonus Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc support your immunity as well!
