These Personalized Vitamins Are Giving Us The Stress Support We Need Right Now

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (and if you have been, you should definitely stay there), you know that we are in the midst of an epic global shutdown. Countries across the world have closed public institutions and moved to initiate social distancing strategies and shelter in place directives that weeks ago seemed totally insane to even think about.

If you’re able to stay at home, you should be doing it, obviously. That probably means you’re doing it along with everyone else in your family, including kids who don’t want to be homeschooled as much as they want to watch TV, play video games, eat all your snacks, and basically drive you even more crazy than you’d be if you were just obsessively reading depressing headlines quietly in the corner of your room.

Now we’ll tell you something you already know. You. Are. Stressed. Out. So what’s a mom to do when the only potential for “me” time is a carefully scheduled trip to a local grocery store that has less on the shelves than you’d find during a zombie apocalypse.

Stress Sucks

We all know that stress is a necessary evil of everyday life, but abnormally high levels of stress can cause physical problems like headaches, digestive problems, and even changes to heart rate and blood pressure.

Stress can also weaken your immune system which could leave you more susceptible to catching something. It’s part of a mind-body connection studied in the field of psychoneuroimmunology, which we could barely say one time fast, never mind five times.

Staying Healthy Helps

How can you keep stress in check and take care of yourself? Getting proper sleep, for starters. Try deep breathing or meditation (in the rare moment you get to yourself –– maybe in the bathroom?). What about eating healthy? It’s a tough one these days, we know, do the best that you can. And what about maintaining your immune system? Try focusing on products with antioxidants, minerals, and probiotics.
