Your heart is pounding, your mind is racing, and you can’t concentrate. You may feel like your thoughts are spiraling out of control. You may be fixated on a worst case scenario you just can’t shake. Even though anxiety is an emotional response, it is also a physical state that can greatly affect the health of the body.

The slippery slope

Anxiety is a normal response to a stressful day at work or shocking news about a friend or family member. Once your body enters a nervous state, a fight or flight response is activated. This fight or flight response puts the body on alert and is especially helpful in the event of a physical attack. Long term anxiety that goes unchecked can place stress on the body day after day. Research has proven that sufferers of anxiety disorders have a greater risk of chronic disease. A person who experiences constant anxiety may have more intense symptoms of illness and maybe more susceptible to death once they get sick.

Anxiety has been related to a number of health issues, such as:

  • Chronic respiratory disorders: Studies have found a higher rate of anxiety and panic attacks in patients with chronic respiratory disease, affecting women more often than men.
  • Gastrointestinal disorders: research has linked high anxiety levels with the development of IBS after a bowel infection.
  • Heart disease: according to data from a nurses health study, women with the highest phobic anxiety levels work 59 percent more likely to have a heart attack compared to women with low anxiety.

Chronic anxiety under constant release of stress hormones will wreak havoc on once balanced health. These factors in combination will suppress the immune system untraded digestive disorders. Muscle tension and short-term memory loss are all examples of the immediate effects on the body. Over time, the risk of premature coronary artery disease and heart attack skyrockets.

Your body craves peace

Addressing anxiety head on is critical. Physicians recommend stress management techniques and anxiety therapy, including yoga, meditation, exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy, regulated sleep patterns, And the changes to the diet.

High levels of anxiety can creates a vicious cycle by making it difficult to sleep at night. When you don’t get the rest you need, anxiety will intensify in the morning to trigger a damaging stress response all day long.

The longer term use of a prescription sleep aid is never recommended. There has got to be a better way to support relaxation and offer anxiety relief. The most potent sleep aid nature has to offer comes in the form of B vitamins. Taking vitamins B3 and B6, along with l-tryptophan and L-theanine, before bed can combat stress and balance cortisol levels. A natural, effective relaxation supplement will support deep sleep and offer a fresh start to a brand-new day.
