6 Natural Remedies For When You're Stressed About Work Or Life
~3.3 mins read
Let’s be honest: This is a tough time to be a business owner.
Since March, the world has turned upside down. Your office is likely closed, revenue is disrupted if not massively down, business travel is mostly non-existent, keeping workers on staff is an issue, the future is uncertain — and let’s not even get started with the  Payroll Protection Program and other stimulus measures.
If stress is getting the best of you, here are six natural remedies that might help. As always, do your research and talk to your doctors about introducing supplements. 
1. Rhodiola rosea
You may not have heard about this herb, but rhodiola rosea has been used by people in Scandinavia,  and  for years as a way to reduce fatigue and boost energy. Research has shown that among its other effects, rhodiola rosea boosts the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that slows down our mental and physical processes. 
For most people who use it, this herb helps combat anxiety nicely. But it isn’t for everyone; some people actually report the opposite effect, with it increasing anxiety and irritability.When you give it a try, monitor your moods closely and ask those you live with to do the same. 
2. L-Theanine
One reason that some people drink tea is because it reportedly gives a boost without the buzz and anxiety that sometimes comes with drinking coffee. They can thank L-theanine for that, a compound in many teas that promotes focus and calmness. Studies have shown that L-theanine does more than just reduce anxiety, too; it seems to improve verbal fluency, executive function and sleep.
Tea is a common way to get a little L-theanine in your diet to reduce stress. But if you’re not a tea drinker — or like a bit too much sugar in your tea like me — you also can get this compound in supplement form.
3. CBD oil
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is getting a lot of attention lately. Part of that attention comes from the fact that CBD is a natural extract from cannabis, the same plant that produces marijuana. Most of the attention, however, comes from the fact that this non-hallucinogenic part of the cannabis plant has a load of health benefits — including anxiety relief.
CBD targets the endocannabinoid system, the part of the body that is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and exhilaration after a strenuous workout. So just like a runner’s high, CBD brings a sustained calmness and focus that can be a major counterbalance to stress.
Best yet, you can get this stress reliever in gummy bear form. “We sell CBD oil in a variety of forms, but the gummy bears might be the most popular,” laughs David Levitt, co-founder of CBD gummy maker bioMD+.
4. Omega-3 fatty acids
Your brain is very susceptible to inflammation, which causes anxiety and stress. One of the main drivers of inflammation are omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in cheap vegetable oils and refined carbs. A natural way to offset this is by consuming omega-3 fatty acids, which act as an anti-inflammatory agent in your brain and counteract the effects of omega-6 fatty acids. 
Omega-3s are naturally present in fish oil, so if you need a break from the stress of running a business right now, consider upping the amount of mackerel, salmon, herring or oysters you consume. If you want to avoid fish breath, consider adding omega-3 oil as a supplement. Make sure you get omega-3 supplements that come from fish oil, however, not vegetable sources. Although vegetable-based omega-3 supplements do work and are an option for vegetarians and vegans, a Harvard study showed that they aren’t nearly as effective as the fish-based variety.

Eating Fruits Or Drinking Fruit Juice - What Is Better? Here's What Expert Says
~1.0 mins read
juice or not to juice - our mind has always battled with the dilemma of juicing fruit or eating the fruit. While fruit juice lets us consume a large amount of the nutritious fruit, eating it provides us with the fibre content. So, what should we do? Celeb nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar offers her advice. But, first she suggested how to avoid fruit wastage. Often times, we find some fruits out of the whole bunch smashed. Instead of throwing them, juice them immediately because fresh fruit will discolour within few minutes of air exposure. Here, juicing fruit is a good option. 

Now, coming to fruit juices being a good option or not, Rujuta Diwekar strongly advises against bottled juices and packaged juices from stores and restaurants. These juices don't go bad which means they are not good to begin with. Fresh juice, on the other hand, is a much better option, but not for people dealing with diabetes, PCOD, obesity, heart disease, etc. "It can quickly upset blood sugar regulation and deprive them of essential nutrients that would otherwise be available with proper chewing of fresh fruit/ vegetable,"Rujuta added.
