Lower Stress and Anxiety Naturally!
As promised, here are some more tips from how the people
of Sicily, Tuscany and Peru ease stress and lower anxiety
levels.
a) Sicily-
Sicilians eat nuts to reduce anxiety levels. Nuts?
That's right- a nut that's used to flavor desserts like Ice
Cream and pastries and it's the favorite snack food of Rapper
Kanye West.
What is it? Pistachios! The nuts are packed with calming
magnesium, as well as B vitamins that raise levels of the relaxing
amino acid GABA in the brain.
Another benefit: They help you reduce the food cravings
brought on by stress and boredom.
b) Tuscany-
Another Italian country, and their method for staying calm-
Walking. The people of Tuscany walk while doing chores,
they walk to markets, and they walk to visit friends and family.
Walking has been called "nature's best antidepressant" by some
medical professionals, and it may be true.
Walking releases endorphins (the feel good hormones) and help
bring about calm in less than an hour.
Walk in a circle if you're bothered by something incredibly stressful,
20 mins should do it. Or walk on a trail or hiking path is you feel
your stress levels starting to rise.
c) The Andes Mountains-
The Peruvians who live high atop the Andes mountains
routinely make it to 100 yrs. of age, thanks to their
laid-back lifestyle, diet and ability to adapt to life's hardships.
One thing the Peruvians do to stay calm and even-tempered-
eat seeds. More specifically a seed called Sacha Inchi.
It's a crunchy seed that's loaded with omega-3 fatty acids,
as well as protein and vitamins A & E. The seeds are also high in trytophan,
which is needed to produce feel-good brain chemicals.
The seeds also help reduce mild bouts of depression.
Find Sacha Inchi under the name TerrAmazon and they're available
at health-food stores or Whole Foods.
Good Luck and Good Moods!
