SUPPLEMENTS FOR MIND AND BODY: A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO FITNESS

Would you love to supercharge your fitness but prefer a holistic approach?

Are you ready to kick goals with your mind and body?

There are various proven ways to enhance your physiology and psychology. Some take ample time, some take lots of money, and some require much of you.

But there’s a simple way to holistically boost your well-being in mere minutes. One that requires only a modest outlay and no taxing investment.

Stress Management (And Two Science-Backed Compounds That Boost Relaxation)

Both body and mind are deeply affected by stress, including in ways we don’t fully appreciate. On a physical level, stress triggers the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, required for the “fight or flight” response.

The stress reaction is essential for survival when faced with an imminent threat. It’s a mechanism designed to act in the short-term. To save us from trouble, then return us to relaxation.

However, when stress becomes long-term — when it continues rather than stops — it takes much energy. We become worn down and depleted.

The physical symptoms of chronic stress include:

— digestive issues
— headaches
— increased pain
— muscle tension
— physical tiredness
— sleep problems
— weakened immunity

The psychological symptoms of chronic stress include:

— anxiousness and irritability
— poor judgment and cognitive function
— negative mood and thinking
— feeling overwhelmed

So, how can you manage stress? What potent supplements move the needle in the right direction? Let’s start with the latter.

Ayurvedic Ashwagandha

Have you heard about Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic medicine staple?

Prescribed over thousands of years, Ashwagandha has long been used as an adaptogenic herb to help people “adapt to” or cope with stress.

A study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research found that supplementation with this medicinal herb significantly reduces anxiety and stress levels.

What dose do you need?

Stress is lowered at a dose of 300 (or more) milligrams per day.

Magnesium, the Great Relaxer

The mineral magnesium is known as “the great relaxer” in the natural health field. It’s been a mainstay for easing stress for years.

A review article published in Nutrients found that this humble nutrient has various benefits for the body and mind regarding stress.

Supplementation has been shown:

— to provide benefits for mental stress, like grumpiness, poor sleep, and tiredness

— to reduce the level of the stress hormone, cortisol, in the blood

— to calm the “stress system” overall

The Body and Mind Benefits of the Right Protein Supplement

When it comes to building strength, protein is vital. After all, protein is the literal foundation of muscle.

For example, leucine — an essential amino acid — is one of the most important for building skeletal muscle. It’s a shortcut to supercharge your physique.

Protein also promotes muscle repair so you can return to training sooner and more effectively.

Protein is essential for physical health in more ways than just for muscles. “Dietary protein is the major structural component of all cells (including bone cells) in the body.” Yes, it’s the building blocks for the body.

But protein is involved in more than the body alone. It’s crucial for psychological well-being as well. For example, when you consume too little, your risk of depression increases. Though, not all protein is made equal.

The study Association between dietary protein intake and the risk of depressive symptoms in adults found that “total protein intake and protein intake from milk and milk products might reduce the risk of depressive symptoms in US adults.” This did not hold true for other protein sources, including red meat, white meat, grains, and legumes.

Consuming sufficient dairy protein is a sensible step to reduce your risk of depression. This is where a high-quality, science-backed product comes in.

Whey Iso Pro contains 24 grams of protein per serving, including 5.01 grams of leucine. It’s a crowd fav.

As our customer Chrissie said, “There’s so many proteins out there, but this is far by the BEST! It blends smooth. There’s no aftertaste. Definitely keeps you full! It even tastes amazing in smoothies! It definitely doesn’t upset my stomach either!”

Sleep Soundly: The Science-Backed Supplement That Aids Slumber

You no doubt know what it feels like to sleep poorly. It’s tiring, brain fog descends, and the following day can feel more challenging. But the potential consequences are significant if you struggle to sleep more than on occasion.

When it comes to the body, the long-term impacts of insomnia are linked to an elevated risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, weight gain, and obesity.

When it comes to the mind, the links include an increased risk of errors in judgment, including those that cause accidents, and reduced quality of life, including depression.

So, how can you deepen and extend the quality of your sleep?

Enter: ThermoSleep.

ThermoSleep has been formulated to help you fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply, and wake refreshed, ready to jump out of bed and take on the world!

With glycine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), Ashwagandha, 5-HTP, Passion Flower, and magnesium, this well-loved supplement is designed for shuteye.

As Virgen R. said, “It makes me fall asleep pretty quick. Love to take it with unsweetened almond milk at least 30 minutes before going to bed because it works fast. Does not give you side effects and you do not wake up groggy.”

As a powerful, synergistic benefit, ThermoSleep turns slumber into a fat-burning experience. This supplement supports weight loss with potent ingredients like raspberry ketones and green tea.

The mind-body takeaway

Your body and mind are incredible! Together, they form “you.” Yet, our lives are filled with stress, less-than-nutritious diets, and poor sleep, which takes a hefty toll.

The correct compounds and supplements can make a profound difference, supporting your physical and psychological well-being in ways you might not expect.

Supplemental products that contain dairy-based protein — especially whey — like Whey Iso Pro and supplements that support sleep, like ThermoSleep, have numerous benefits.

As the saying goes, “To kill two birds with one stone.” These supplements have positive benefits for both body and mind.
