Stress and how to help you cope.
How are you going with the constant worry, anxiety and confusion of today’s times.
Many of us have brain fog, sleeping badly and finding it hard to stay kind.
Our bodies are going into fight or flight mode.
This is a left over mechanism for survival from our ancestors past when on the savannah they encounter a sabre tooth tiger.
This same mode is triggered when we are stressed.
Great for short term survival – very bad with modern stress.
Our bodies shut down other functions to be ready to run or fight.
Our adrenal glands pumped and ready to fire.
Over time this is very detrimental to our health.
Affecting digestion, nerves, circulation and capacity to stay calm.
If this is affecting you.
You will need to make time to de stress.
When you place your body in a state/moment of ‘peace’ and calm breathing.
Your body will believe you are ‘safe’.
Practice this mindfulness through breathing, stretching, exercise, music etc.
Find your happy place – and ‘be happy’ in that moment.
Watch your breathing.
Calm deep breathing will tell your body you are ‘safe’
Watch your mind talk.
Staying in the present will help your body to stay calm.
When your body feels ‘safe’ and breathes like you are not stressed.
The fight or flight adrenal and heart re action will be mollified.
And the reactionary state subside.
And this equates to better health.
Stress gives rise to higher cortisol levels in the blood.
These in turn make it difficult to sleep.
I recommend SATTVA Ashwagandha.
Take 2 capsules between dinner and bedtime to lessen the cortisol levels and aid better sleep.
For best results the therapeutic dosage must be taken.
2 capsules of our Ashwagandha is a therapeutic dose.
To combat stress It is vital to get enough sleep
Also.
Drink enough water
And stay away from processed high sugar/fat foods.
Supporting you to being in the best wellness you can obtain while we go through these difficult times.
Ashwagandha is one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing, which has been prescribed as a stress adaptogen, first discovered in 6,000 BC!
An adaptogenic herb is a highly effective, evidence-based remedy to help reduce stress, fatigue, and worry—by supporting normal cortisol and GABA levels, helping the body adapt to stress.
Or take 1-2 capsules, 1-2 times daily to support the following:
Stress
Fatigue
Worry
Trouble sleeping

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
