| Problems with family, unexpected expenses, traffic jams (when you're already late)… These issues can add up and send your stress levels skyrocketing. And while low levels of stress are actually GOOD for you… When you hit your healthy limit - that's when stress can turn TOXIC. See below for the red flags to watch out for: 5 Signs Your Stress Has Turned Toxic 5) Your Motivation Goes Out The Window When you have to get things done (at work or at home)… Have you ever been UNable to power through?... Even with the easy things? This is your body telling you that you've hit your threshold. 4) Your Outbursts Get Rowdy Ever find yourself overreacting for no reason? That's toxic stress at work. Hard to control outbursts usually occur because you're too overwhelmed to respond in a balanced way. 3) Your Fatigue Is Coffee-Resistant Feeling tired no matter how much sleep you get is a sign stress is getting the better of you. Don't ignore this one — your body is screaming at you to slow down! 2) Unusual Sleep Patterns Sure, you might be a little restless when you've got a lot on your plate… But if you have trouble falling asleep… Or find yourself waking up frequently or earlier than you'd like… That means your Cortisol (stress hormone) could be nearing toxic levels. 1) Low Mood If your team lost the World Cup, you might be a little bummed. But if your blues persist, your lack of happiness might point to toxic stress… And this can have serious implications for your physical and mental health. What Happens When Your Stress Turns Toxic? Anything toxic is no bueno, and this is especially true with stress. Physically, toxic stress can cause headaches, stomachaches, and (more) fatigue… But it can also weaken your immune system, and even increase your risk of heart and blood pressure issues. Mentally, toxic stress hurts your memory, and makes it more difficult to concentrate or make decisions. And, if left unchecked… It can result in anxiety, depression, and a host of other mental health challenges. Fighting Back Against Toxic Stress Starts HERE There's no way to stop life from being stressful, but the good news is… There's a clinically proven way to help you reign in stress BEFORE it gets toxic. In a recent study involving 44 healthy adults… Participants were given the probiotic strain, "BL 1714™," and were then exposed to stressful social situations. The findings showed that BL 1714™: "Conclusively supports stress management and a positive mood." And get this: Using an EEG device to monitor brain waves... Scientists also found that taking BL 1714™ increases theta wave activity. Theta waves are CRITICAL for a healthy stress response… AND can also help improve focus and concentration. That's why, when we developed our new mood-lifting product, Just Calm… Not only did we include the most bioavailable form of BL 1714™… We made sure each capsule contained 3x the clinically effective dose! Because in our modern, stressful world, you and I can use all the extra help we can get. |
