What makes Anti-Stress Formula more
complete than other stress formulas?Includes Critical Nutrients to Help Control Occasional Stress
Increased stress has become a fact of modern life for most people. Alarm clocks, commuter traffic, project deadlines, and conflicts in the workplace have replaced the slower pace of life of several generations ago. Add to this the "fast food" lifestyle, lots of coffee or other caffeine-laden beverages, exposure to city noise, air pollution and "secondhand" (if not firsthand!) smoke, late nights, and early mornings, and it's no wonder that, as a society, we're occasionally "stressed out". On top of this, we now live with political changes, unrest, and uncertainty, which may dramatically increase stress levels for many people.
Under stress, people frequently use one or more of the following to help manage it: nicotine, alcohol, drugs, (prescription and non-prescription), and/or "comfort foods". Nicotine, alcohol, and drugs increase the body's need for certain nutrients, in which the average diet is already deficient. Unfortunately, "comfort foods" usually contain high amounts of sugar, fat, and starch with very little actual nutrition, failing to provide sufficient amounts of critical nutrients such as chromium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and vitamins B, C, and E, which are needed for the body to effectively cope with stress.
Stress tends to drain one's energy, and as fatigue develops, many people rely on more sugar and caffeine to "get through it".
Fatigue often leads to decreased physical activity. The combination of physical inactivity and high carbohydrate intake contributes to the current international phenomena of overweight adults and children, with all of the attendant health complications.
The United States National Academy of Sciences tells the public they need to be eating 5 to 9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily to maintain their health. Yet studies show that fewer than 50% of European households, even in Mediterranean countries, meet this standard, and fewer still in the United States. A recent study based on 1999 data issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contained the following information in the section on poor nutrition among adults:
Less than one-fourth of U. S. adults reported eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables per day in 1998.
The prevalence of not eating the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables ranged from 68% in Minnesota to 91% in Arizona.
This means that about 9 out of every 10 people in Arizona are not obtaining the recommended nutrients from their diets.
