Festive Stress Support For A Season Of Wellness

Festive Stress Support for a Season of Wellness. Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing a press release on Festive Stress Support for a Season of Wellness. The festive season is upon us, and with less than a month left to complete the never-ending to-do list, acknowledging the heightened stress that descends upon us alongside the festive dash is more critical than ever. Cultivating some Christmas calm might seem impossible, but leading food-based supplement brand Cytoplan and Mindfulness Consultant Bev Alderson have put together a Toolkit of Christmas Calm with Six Stress Busters and Three Stress-Supporting Supplements that might help to prioritise your wellbeing a little more this year.

Festive Stress Support For A Season Of Wellness

Six Stress Busters from Mindfulness & Stress Management Consultant Bev Alderson:

Breathe

Breathing in specific ways can help to calm the nervous system. A simple but effective way to do this is to inhale and exhale fully and slowly from your belly. Please don’t force the breath, but allow it to expand slowly with each breath cycle. Do this 5 – 10 times. And relax!

A Minute of Mindfulness

While a more extended practice is advantageous, a one-minute meditation can effectively interrupt, calm and clear your mind.

Get A Good Night’s Sleep

If you are sleep-deprived, your body and mind cannot restore and recharge overnight. You will be less likely to manage the day’s demands and maintain a cheerful disposition. Aim to get 7-8 hours of sleep opportunity every day.

Relax In A Bath

That contains a handful of Epsom Salts, a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil and half a cup of Baking Soda. This combo can help remove toxins, lower stress-related hormones and balance your PH. You could also try using essential oils, which help restore balance and reduce stress levels. Try Rose, Lavender, Bergamot, or Chamomile, all believed to be great stress busters.

Set Up Your Day

Try getting up 10 minutes earlier (I know – it doesn’t need to be every day!) to avoid the need to rush. Have a stretch, plan your day or sit and enjoy a cuppa.

Give Back – it is easy amongst all the business and the hype to forget what Christmas is about. Giving back (time or money) can be an excellent way of cultivating the true spirit of Christmas and maintaining perspective.

Three Supplements to support stress from Amanda Williams, CEO and Nutritional Therapist at Cytoplan:

“During the festive season, we consume less nutritional foods and naturally eat more high-sugar and high-fat comfort food. In addition, we are usually more sleep-deprived from coping with heightened stress, have less time to relax and are generally less well in ourselves. Lack of nutritional support will affect the ability to cope with rising stress levels, so using a supportive supplement such as Ashwagandha might be helpful. Here are my top picks for supporting stress levels during the festive season:

Ashwagandha

“Withania somnifera (aka Ashwagandha) is an Ayurvedic herb, traditionally used to reduce stress and enhance wellbeing. It’s an adaptogen, which means it can support the body to adapt to stress and may be particularly supportive over the festive period.”

L-Theanine

“This amino acid, found in tea leaves, has demonstrated a wide range of health benefits, with its ability to promote calm and relaxation widely evidenced. Theanine can increase alpha brainwaves and the neurotransmitter GABA, which can have a calming, but not a soothing effect so that you can use L-Theanine in the day or to support sleep at night.”

Biofood Magnesium

“It is well known that magnesium is easily depleted during stress, yet it is an important mineral that helps us deal with stress. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and functioning of the nervous system and reduces tiredness and fatigue. Supplementing with magnesium can, therefore, be beneficial over the festive period.”
