Let’s Talk About Stress! I’m Stressed Just Thinking About It!
We’ve all had those moments at work that make us wonder how we have any hair left! The stresses that can be formed throughout your normal 9-5 can be enough to drive anyone mad—not to mention the anxiety and fatigue that seems to come along with it. A recent study, however, seems to have found a way to put your mind at ease when it comes specifically to work-related stress by utilizing two ingredients that we are all quite familiar with.
Are You Stressed? Let’s Talk About Stress!
The Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology has published a study that involves the combination of two ingredients—curcumin and fenugreek. Both of these ingredients should sound familiar to you. Those of you who read my article on the top four supplement trends for 2016 will know how powerful curcumin is and how it’s sales are going to skyrocket in 2016. With all the research that has been published as well as current studies, it’s no wonder curcumin is so hot.
With properties like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and even anti-cancer properties, curcumin seems to be flying off the shelves. Fenugreek on the other hand, like curcumin, also has copious amounts of benefits such as helping regulate blood sugar, treating high cholesterol, aiding in weight loss, and helping alleviate upset stomachs and constipation – just to name a few.
A key part of work-related stress has to do specifically with oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when antioxidants aren’t able to combat free radicals in the body. When this happens it can lead to many pathophysiological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart attack/cardiovascular disease, gene mutations, and even some forms of cancer.
This particular study conducted called upon 60 individuals. All subjects were evaluated to ensure they are experiencing work-related stress. For the trial, the subjects were then given one of three options: 1) a product containing curcumin and fenugreek. 2) a product containing only curcumin. 3) a placebo. All subjects took the product routinely and religiously for 30 days.
