Are you juggling deadlines? Managing a never-ending to-do list? Do you have chaos that just does not seem to end? And to add to it, some days your body just doesn't want to co-operate?
Welcome to the world of stress, where life seems to happen at the speed of light!
Short-term (situational) stress can actually improve alertness and performance while boosting memory. On the other hand, long-term stress can cause damage due to the chronically elevated levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.
Most often, the damage caused by these high cortisol levels is not immediately apparent. It occurs over time. You might hear yourself saying, "why is that joint stiff today? It moved just fine yesterday". Or you look at yourself in the mirror and see wrinkles and creases appearing. These are indications that collagen (the "glue" that holds your body together) has been breaking down due to continually increased cortisol levels from chronic emotional and/or physical stress.
So, are you wondering what you can do to fix it, and maybe even prevent it?
Here are the top three recommendations:
From personal experience, a combination of the above has helped me age more gracefully. (We all want that, right?!) For the past 3 weeks I have been using a new collagen product. In that time, I have noticed several positive results: My mental sharpness has increased. My body has felt stronger...fewer aches and discomforts. And I am staying calmer in quickly changing situations. I definitely did not have those results with the previous collagen supplement I used. Reports from clients who are using this product also are very positive. "My knee doesn't hurt like it used to". "My hair isn't falling out like it had been".
While stress is inevitable, its impact on collagen indicates an opportunity for proactive measures to safeguard your long-term health. You can crack the code to wellness by using stress management techniques, following a healthy nutrition program, and supplementing with an effective collagen complex, to nurture your body's resilience against long-term stress.
