We will introduce [stress countermeasures] and [stress relief methods] that can be easily done every day.
as a stress countermeasure
[1] Nutrition
In fact, stress can be related not only to changes in the environment, but also to nutritional deficiencies!
When the body is stressed, it tries to protect itself from stress by consuming “specific nutrients”.
Therefore, if the body lacks these nutrients, it will be difficult to resist stress.
1> Three nutritional groups that are effective in reducing stress
①Vitamin C・Vitamin E
When you get irritated because of stress, your body secretes adrenal cortex hormones to fight back.
A large amount of vitamin C is consumed as a raw material for this adrenocortical hormone.
In other words, the more you feel stressed, the more you need to take.
Vitamin E is also involved in the production of adrenocortical hormones and, in cooperation with vitamin C, enhances the protective response against various stresses.
②Tryptophan
Tryptophan , an essential amino acid, is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps to keep emotions calm and reduce stress. Not only that, it also produces melatonin, which adjusts the rhythm of the body and leads to good sleep, so it is an ingredient that is necessary not only to reduce stress but also to condition the mind and body. Since most serotonin is made in the gut, it is also important to keep the intestinal environment good.
To improve the intestinal environment⇒⇒Cold measures
③Vitamin B group
The brain also uses energy when coping with stress, but in order to efficiently buy glucose, which is a source of nutrition for the brain, into energy, support from various B vitamins is required.
In particular, vitamins B1, B2 and B6 work together as a team to enhance the functioning of the nervous system and brain.
It is important not to take only one of them, but to take several kinds together as "vitamin B group" .
If you don't have enough " vitamin B group " , your brain will not be able to produce energy well, and you will be more likely to be in a state of " not being able to concentrate " or " restless ".
As a result, not only can your life be disrupted, it can be even more stressful.
[Examples of foods with good nutrition]
In particular, among the B vitamins, B2 and B6 affect the metabolism of the skin, so lack of them can cause acne .
If you are concerned ⇒⇒ Acne skin care
If you are experiencing stomach pain or discomfort due to stress (constipation, diarrhea, gas, etc.) ⇒⇒Irritable Bowel Syndrome
If you feel anxious or unwell ⇒⇒ Don't be afraid of anxiety

[2] Stress relief method to prepare the mind with breathing Abdominal breathing
Mental stress tends to make nature and breathing shallow.
When your breathing becomes shallow, your body and brain become oxygen-starved, and your body becomes more tense.
In order to escape from such a state, let's breathe properly and send oxygen to the body to relieve tension!
There are two types of breathing, <abdominal breathing> and <chest breathing>, but <abdominal breathing> allows more oxygen to be taken into the body than <chest breathing>.
Therefore, when you are feeling stressed, let's be conscious of <abdominal breathing> .
<abdominal breathing> method
(1) Correct your posture and slowly inhale through your nose.
Please go while counting "one, two, three" in your head.
Inflate your stomach with the image of accumulating air under your navel.
*At this time, be careful not to raise your shoulders.
② After inhaling, exhale slowly through your mouth while counting 3 seconds.
* At this time, inflate the inflated stomach.
Repeat this for about 5-10 minutes .
It's an easy way to do it anytime, so please try it.
