WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS?

Adaptogens are herbs, roots and mushrooms that help the body cope with physical and mental stress. They’ve been used for thousands of years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine and are now becoming more popular as a natural way to help manage stress and anxiety.
Ashwagandha work by strengthening and stabilizing our adrenal and Thyroid glands, which when we are stressed pumps out adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones naturally raise our blood sugar and increase our heart rate. This is great if the stress is short-lived and well managed, but in reality, we tend to be faced with constant stress which can lead to weight gain, inflammation, headache, and chronic disease.
Being aware of the practices and food you can implement in your live will help you reduce this constant stress and fece daily challenges with more energy and motivation. This is why is important to learn more about adaptogens and their awesome benefits...
