Stress

While smart nutritional choices

can boost your body’s ability to

handle stress, exercise is another

important stress-relieving tool.

Exercise produces a relaxation

response and reduces the body’s

level of cortisol, a stress hormone.

Exercise also helps elevate your

mood and reduces the risk of depression.

Maybe that’s why Team

Reliv Fitness Club members are

such a happy, healthy bunch!

Run Away From

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).

GABA, “nature’s relaxant,” is a key neurotransmitter

in the brain that calms cells down. Studies show GABA has the ability

to induce relaxation, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase focus. GABA also helps

the brain prepare for better sleep by activating brain receptors and calming nerves.

In addition, GABA may enhance immunity when the body is under stress.

L-Theanine.

This anti-stress amino acid from green tea leaves is a valuable partner

in relaxing the body. Studies suggest that L-theanine increases the soothing brain

chemicals serotonin and dopamine as well as GABA levels. L-theanine also reduces

heart rate under stress and tames the body’s “fight-or-flight” reactions overall.

B Complex Vitamins.

Essential B vitamins affect the calming neurotransmitters in

the brain such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. They also optimize the

function of your nervous system during stressful times. In addition, B vitamins help

release energy from your cells, which is important since stress increases your body’s

demand for energy.

Valerian Root.

This extract is useful to help reduce anxiety, nervous tension and

the physical reaction to stressful situations. Valerian root’s benefits may also result in

“alert relaxation” — key when you’re under stress.

Magnesium.

This mineral helps muscles relax, helps you fall asleep easier and

stimulates production of calming neurotransmitters such as dopamine. When you’re

under stress, your body loses more magnesium. In addition, a magnesium deficiency

activates a stress response that can result in muscle tension and cramps.

More heart attacks occur on Mondays than on any

other day of the week. Why? All indicators point

toward stress.

Today, stress is becoming the norm thanks to

worldwide political unrest, an unstable economy, job

worries, decreased incomes, rising prices… Some

of these factors are beyond your control. But you do

have control over how you take care of your body so

you can better handle stress.

When you’re under stress, good nutrition may be

more important than ever. Fiber is one stress reliever.

Stress slows digestion, decreases the body’s ability to

absorb important nutrients and raises blood sugar.

So fi ll up on fi ber to aid digestion, level out blood

sugar and increase regularity.

Many other vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutrients

ease stress too, including vitamin C, magnesium and

B vitamins found in nutritional products such as Reliv

Classic® and Reliv Now®. And now there is 24K™. The

24K ingredients that zero in on stress include B vitamins,

Gama Aminobutryric Acid (GABA), L-theanine

and valerian root, among others.

While stress is part of life, it’s comforting to know

handle whatever life throws at us.

The Dangerous
Toll of Stress                                 
Stress comes in two forms: acute or chronic. Acute stress response

is your garden-variety, short-term “fi ght-or-fl ight” reaction. Your

body releases stress hormones, including cortisol and adrenalin, to

increase your ability to react and boost your strength. Your heart

rate and blood pressure increase. After this short-term stress, your

body calms down again.

Chronic, long-term stress is the real troublemaker. Ongoing stress

causes your body to produce higher and higher amounts of stress

hormones that eventually build up in your body and cause health

problems. For example, long-term exposure to stress hormones produces

damaging effects on your heart. Stress also makes your heart

work harder, which can lead to heart attack, abnormal heart rhythm

or stroke.

In addition, long-term stress assault can impair the immune system

and “age” your body. This can lead to functional decline, heart

disease, osteoporosis, infl ammatory arthritis, type 2 diabetes and

certain cancers. Obesity is another health risk of stress.

Some stressed-out symptoms include:

Digestive problems

High blood pressure

Increased heart rate and cholesterol
Increased blood sugar levels
Insomnia
Irritability

Depression

Headaches

Overeating
Fatigue   
If you’re experiencing stress symptoms, it’s time to take control.

Eating a healthy diet is an ideal fi rst step.

HI I am
Robert Naegle, I am retired. I am married. I went to Jordan High School in
California. I served in the Army right out of high school, stationed in
Germany. I have 4 kids, 5 grandkids and 2 step- grandsons.

I am now an
Independent Distributor for Reliv Products. It is vitamins in powder form.  The Reliv Co. has been in business for over
22 years. There product are all made in the Good Old USA, in their own
manufacturing plant to insure and guarantee top quality. My wife has  been using ReLIv for 2 years and I have use
it for one year. It has helped both of us with common colds, alergies and
bothersome sinus infections.  I have
spent 3 to 5 days a week at the gym for the past 7 years and find that by
adding the "Protin" product as directed, my workouts have become more
intense as my energy level is elevated.

Doctors
say we should take suppliments  because
the food we eat does not meet our daily needed requirements.  Prior to Reliv I was taking about 16
different suppliments.  I marked the lids
"D" for day and "N" for night.  All purchased over the counter with an
unknown shelf life.  I believed I was
doing the best I could to maintain my health and wellbeing.

Now I take
two shakes a day.   Reliv is in my system
within 20 minutes and I am "bottle free" of all added
suppliments.  I maintain a high energy
level during the day and find that at night I sleep better with less
interruptions.  Obviously I cannot say
you will have the same results as I have. The simple truth is that each body is different and our ReLiv website
has all kinds of stories of others in our ReLiv family and their many
successes.
