Description
Stress is an inevitable part of life, triggering your autonomic nervous system to regulate essential processes like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion. In response, your adrenal glands release adrenaline and cortisol, sparking the fight-or-flight response. Adrenaline boosts your heart rate and blood pressure, while cortisol elevates blood glucose levels for energy. However, prolonged cortisol release can suppress vital functions such as digestion, reproduction, and immunity, potentially harming your health. When stress becomes a constant companion, it can affect both your mental and physical well-being. This is where the ancient herb ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can offer support. Grown in India, parts of Africa, and the Mediterranean, ashwagandha has been revered in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for its adaptogenic qualities that help restore balance in the body. Ashwagandha is rich in withanolides, potent phytochemicals that help your body resist stress. By incorporating ashwagandha into your daily routine, you can promote a sense of calm and balance, allowing your body to function optimally even in the face of stress.
