Daily Affirmation:
Stress – What it Does to Our Bodies
Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses.
Stress is a normal part of life. Many events that happen to you and around you — and many things that you do yourself — put stress on your body. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between challenges. As a result, the person becomes overworked and stress-related tension builds.

Useful Nutritional Tools: Vitamin D & Vitamin D3
There is a vast body of science showing the many health benefits of vitamin D and D3. Vitamin D3, for example, is one of the most useful nutritional tools people have at their disposal for improving overall health. It has a strong influence over the body’s phosphorus controls, calcium, and bone metabolism and neuro-muscular function. Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin the body can manufacture from sunlight (UVB). Yet, with today’s indoor living and the extensive use of sunscreens due to concern about skin cancer, we are now a society with millions of individuals deficient in life-sustaining bone building and immune modulating, Vitamin D3. You may be surprised to learn the important roles that both vitamin D and D3 plays in people’s health.

Anti-Depressant Drugs, Their Side Effects and Natural Remedies to Treat Depression
There are many anti-depressant drugs in the market such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft that account for 70% of the prescriptions by physicians in the United States and around 28 million Americans have used them.

These drugs work broadly by enhancing the serotonin activity in your brain. Although often used in major depressive disorders they have many side effects such as low heart rate, depressed respiration, depressed levels of consciousness, diminished levels of cognitive activity and sometimes even death in children. Also, when used over a long time, they can do structural damage to your brain due to their inherent role in the metabolism.
Therefore, the natural alternatives to antidepressant medication form one of the safest options of medication one comes across today.
