There is one simple technique to lower stress levels. During times when we feel anxious and overwhelmed, relaxing our minds may be the last thing we want to do. But this could be what we exactly need.
Studies have shown the effects of mindfulness in decreasing levels of stress and anxiety. According to US Scientists, following an eight week course of mindfulness with daily meditation classes can help lower inflammation and stress hormones by 15%. This therapy has also proved to work much better than a non-meditation stress management class.
Many researchers praise the benefits of mindfulness, describing it as a relatively inexpensive and low-stigma form of treatment that also helps strengthen and improve resilience to stress.
The study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research included 89 patients with anxiety disorder. Chronic anxiety disorder affects around 3 million people in Britain alone.
Participants in the study were grouped into two. The first group took an eight-week mindfulness class involving meditation. The other was the control group that took a stress management course. The first group was found to be more resilient when placed under stress tests compared to the other.
Why Meditation?
Meditation is a free practice that anyone can do everyday to help reduce stress and lower inflammation in the long term. Regardless of the life situation, meditation can help make a person feel calmer. Even a few minutes of mind relaxation can make a difference.
How to Reduce Inflammation
Together with putting meditation at the core of wellness, it is also a good idea to look into other natural solutions that bring relief to the body.
Serrapeptase is highly beneficial at reducing inflammation. This enzyme can effectively dissolve and digest dead tissues that may cause disease in the body. People who take Serrapeptase daily experience an improvement of painful symptoms that could worsen into other physical conditions.
For anxiety, it is also important to get enough B vitamins. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) can help promote relaxation. Vitamin B6 helps prevent fatigue and supports control of the hormone levels to avoid imbalance that cause emotional disorders.

Is this product good for post concussion syndrome? I get flare-ups of pain in my head, now 4 years, after my concussion. Would it help with the pain in the head?
Hi Mirabel, research has shown inflammation to be linked with post concussion syndrome which has symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive impairment. Serrapeptase works on inflammation in all forms and can cross the blood brain barrier, therefore, is a good choice to help support recovery from this condition.
