Day 4 STRESS BUSTING NUTRITION... CHOCOLATE! Yes it's good for you... sometimes... in moderation... but... still good for you!!!

Google and you'll find tons of proof. https://www.webmd.com/balance/stress-management/news/20091113/dark-chocolate-takes-bite-out-of-stress for example states "Those stress-induced chocolate cravings may be justified after all.

A new study shows that eating dark chocolate may lower levels of stress hormones in people feeling stressed out.Researchers found that eating the equivalent of one average-sized dark chocolate candy bar (1.4 ounces) each day for two weeks reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol as well as the “fight-or-flight” hormones known as catecholamines in highly stressed people."

The findings add to a growing number of recently discovered potential health benefits of dark chocolate. For example, cocoa has been found to be rich in a class of antioxidants called flavonoids, which have been linked to a number of health benefits.

So don't feel guilty when you eat a piece or two of dark chocolate... maybe you're stressed?! Think about how your feeling when you eat it. Also, keep a small supply of quality dark chocolate for stressful days. Eat just one or two and you'll likely feel better!

Namaste and

Day 3 - Our focus today is on Chamomile.

In an exploratory study, researchers found chamomile, even at a relatively small dose (220 mg), was more effective than placebo in relieving BOTH depression and anxiety.

A 2018 study showed ppl w/moderate to severe generalized anxiety order who consumed chamomile had beneficial responses in their cortisol levels.

It’s a relaxing nervine (decreasing nervous system tension and helps the body switch to a more parasympathetic nervous system function).

Chamomile also modulates inflammation - Stress and inflammation tend to go hand and hand. Chamomile is a powerful remedy for modulating many different kinds of inflammation and can be used externally as a poultice, fomentation, bath, or liniment to help calm inflammatory responses. Think of it for rashes, burns, or even bleeding gums and oral mucositis.

Is It a Good Match For You?
Chamomile admittedly is not for everyone. Some ppl sensitive to the ASTER FAMILY will also be sensitive to chamomile.

If you know chamomile isn’t a good choice for you, another herb you could explore is lemon balm (isn’t the same as chamomile, but has similar stress-relieving properties; can be substituted in all of the recipes below).

** Chamomile Tea - Yield: 1 serving
I don’t want to discourage chamomile in a tea bag entirely; it’s admittedly convenient, and if there are high-quality herbs in the tea bag, it can make a decent cup of tea. I often turn to these when travelling. But if you only know chamomile as a tea bag tea, then you're missing out!

Homemade recipe uses slightly more chamomile than you’ll find in your average bag. I recommend steeping slightly longer than is common. Think of this recipe as a starting place. You can use more (or less) chamomile and steep it for more (or less) time to suit your tastes. Using more chamomile for stress relief and steeping it longer will have more of a pronounced calming, even sedative effect. It will also taste more bitter. You’ll find your perfect cup of chamomile tea w/a few tries.

What you’ll need…
1 Tbsp dried chamomile flowers
12 oz water
Steep the chamomile in just boiled hot water for 7-10 min, covered.
Strain. Add honey if desired. Enjoy!

**Chamomile Syrup - Yield: 2 cups
This sweet chamomile treat can be used in so many delicious ways! I’ve drizzled it over fruit salads, pancakes, and waffles. You can also add it to beverages like hot tea or sparkling water. Yum!

The honey in this recipe is not only for added sweetness but also works as a preservative. The more honey you add, the longer this syrup will last. It’s common to add an equal amount of honey to water. If you have a 1/2c of water, you add a 1/2c of honey. For this, I use slightly less honey than water to not overpower the flavor of the chamomile. As a result, it’s best to use it quickly. Discard any syrup that is cloudy or has mold growing on it. Note this preparation is more thin or watery than a thick syrup.

What you’ll need…
1/4c dried chamomile flowers
12 oz water
Approximately 1/2c honey
Steep the chamomile in just-boiled hot water for 10 mins, covered.
Strain. Add the honey, stir well to combine.
Keep in the fridge and use within 2 wks.

**Chamomile Tincture - Yield: 14 oz
I most often reach for chamomile as a comforting tea, but I wouldn’t want to be w/out the tincture or alcohol extract. Chamomile tincture is convenient to take when you’re not at home. It’s also a good preparation if it’s close to bedtime and you don’t want to be drinking a lot of liquid.

The following preparation is the folk method of tincture making. To be sure it’s a potent blend, finely crumble your chamomile before using. I like to pulse it in the blender several times to break it down significantly.

What you’ll need…
1c finely crumbled dried chamomile flowers
16 oz vodka (80-100 proof)
Place the chamomile in a glass pint jar. Add the vodka. You will most likely not use the entire 16 oz. Stir well.
Cover with a tight fitting lid and let it macerate for 4 wks. I keep mine in a dark place on the counter and shake it daily for the first couple of wks.
Strain. This stores indefinitely.
The recommended dosage is 3-6 ml, 3 times a day, or small doses more frequently.

**Chamomile Oil - Yield: 14 oz
Chamomile isn’t only for internal use; it is a lovely herb to infuse into oil, which can then be used to nourish the skin. This is a favorite for breast and belly massage. If you use a lighter oil, then it can also be a face oil.

What you’ll need…
1/2c finely crumbled dried chamomile flowers
16 oz carrier oil of your choice
Place the chamomile in a glass pint jar. Fill the jar with the oil. You will most likely not use the entire 16 oz. Stir well.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid and let it macerate for 4 wks. I keep mine in a dark place on the counter and shake it daily for the first couple of weeks.
When the oil smells like lovely chamomile, you can strain it, and then use as desired. Use within a year.

Day 2 STRESS BUSTERS
If you’re feeling stressed out and reaching for the snacks, swapping chocolate or chips for one of the best superfoods is a great way to help you deal with your stress levels and achieve a higher level of calm.

For example, blueberries are:
1. low in calories but high in nutrients
2. are believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables
3. are high in antioxidants, they can neutralize some of the free radicals that damage your DNA which may help against aging.
4. The antioxidants in blueberries are strongly linked to reduced levels of oxidized LDL. This makes blueberries very good for your heart (15Trusted Source). A daily 2-ounce (50-gram) serving of blueberries lowered LDL oxidation by 27% over eight weeks in obese people who were obese.
5. Regular blueberry intake is tied to lower blood pressure in numerous studies.
6. Some evidence indicates that eating fruits rich in anthocyanins — such as blueberries — is associated with a reduced risk of heart attacks.
7. The antioxidants in blueberries seem to benefit your brain by aiding brain function and delaying mental decline.
8. Several studies demonstrate that blueberries have anti-diabetes effects, improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.
9. Bye bye UTI.. Like cranberries, blueberries contain substances that can prevent certain bacteria from binding to the wall of your bladder, which may help prevent UTIs.
10. One study suggests that blueberries may aid muscle recovery after strenuous exercise, though more research is needed.

In summary... Blueberries are incredibly healthy and nutritious, they boost your heart health, brain function, and numerous other aspects of your body PLUS... more fun to eat because they are sweet, colorful and easily enjoyed either fresh or frozen! Eaten by themselves or paired with cheese, maybe even added to your protein shake?

Bust out the blueberries to bust out stress.

Getting to a BETTER BODY starts with nutrition. Stress tends to lend to benders and "cheat days" because the cortisol levels in the body create cravings for "comfort foods" which we almost always know are also the things in the pantry which are fried, powder coated, sugar-laden and just plain bad for us. That poor food consumption compounds into high blood sugar levels, candida overgrowth which creates MORE sugar cravings, and the cycle perpetuates!

We are going to talk about 10 foods to help bust that stress out over the next 10 days!
