Best Ways to Relieve Stress Naturally

How to Relieve Stress and Anxiety

If you are not experiencing a giant amount of stress right now is because you are:

A Zen Master
An Alien, or
A Super Intelligent AI Bent on World Conquest

For the rest of us, stress is a real pain in the @$$. Personally, I’ve dealt with massive, and sometimes crippling stress, plus anxiety, for the past 20 years. And many of you have too. But, there are ways to manage your stress and improve your overall health and wellness.

One natural tool that I found is pea microgreen supplements. Seriously, peas? Yes! These little guys are packed with nutrients that can promote relaxation and reduce feelings of anxiety.

And you can get them as microgreen supplements which provide a convenient and effective way to get their stress-reducing benefits. In this post, we'll explore the many benefits of pea microgreens for stress relief and how they can help you take control of your stress and improve your life.

How to Relieve Stress Quickly: The Secret Ingredient is GABA.

The Benefits of Pea Microgreens for Stress Relief: The Secret Ingredient is GABA. If you’ve done any digging on supplements for stress relief, then you’ve sure to come across something called GABA. Pea microgreens are a rich source of GABA, a powerful compound that can promote relaxation and reduce feelings of anxiety. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps to calm the nervous system and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.

In addition to GABA, pea microgreens are also packed with other nutrients that can promote relaxation and reduce feelings of anxiety, such as vitamins C, K, and A, as well as folate and fiber. These nutrients can help to regulate the production of stress hormones in the body, such as cortisol, which can contribute to feelings of anxiety and tension.

This is one of the reasons why you can get better results with pea microgreens than just taking a GABA supplement alone. Microgreen plants contain the nutrients in a balanced combination, easily absorbed by the body. They are using these powerful compounds, along with supporting elements, in perfect unison, to protect their tiny little lives. (Unfortunately, we do cut them down in the prime of life, throw them into a freeze dryer, grind them up, and deliver them as supplements for you. We know, we’re monsters.)

But these pea microgreens provide a convenient and effective supplement to get you the stress-reducing benefits of microgreens, without the need to grow and prepare fresh microgreens at home. They’re easy to take and can be incorporated into your daily routine for optimal stress relief. I myself take at least 1-2 of these every day.

If you’re experiencing a lot of stress, chances are good, you’re also not getting the kind of sleep you need. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential in reducing stress. That’s why many of our customers like to pair Revogreen Muscle and Joints with Revogreen Sleep. Check it out, and read our article on Improving Deep Sleep and REM Sleep with Mustard Microgreens.

How to Relieve Stress Quickly at Home

5 Natural Ways to Relieve Stress and Improve Your Mood Ok, there’s my sales pitch on pea microgreens. If I were you, I’d buy like a million bottles of the stuff. But, as we know, “Man cannot live on pea microgreens alone,” (Women, I don’t know about y’all. There’s just not enough studies on that😁). So, besides pea microgreens, let's take a look at some other natural ways to relieve your stress and improve your mood. Here are five techniques that I live by:

Exercise

Regular exercise is a powerful stress reliever. It helps release endorphins, a natural mood booster. It can also help to reduce the production of stress hormones (that’s cortisol) in your body. For stress relief, I love to do Yoga and Chi Gong (it’s like Tai Chi). I also like lifting kettlebells, but I have been straying away from the high-intensity stuff like CrossFit. It does help you feel good in the moment but seems to wear on your adrenals.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, can help to calm the mind and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. By focusing on the present moment and letting go of worries about the future or regrets about the past, you can improve your overall sense of well-being.

Spending time in nature

My goal is to get out in nature at least once a week. I’m fortunate enough to live in Austin, where a great hiking trail is usually just a stone’s throw away. And research has shown that spending time in nature can have a calming effect on your mind and body. Take a walk in the park or a hike in the woods. Getting outside can help to reduce feelings of stress and promote relaxation. For me, a good 3-mile hike is perfect for clearing all the crazy, stressful thoughts out of my head.

Social support

Even for introverts, spending time with friends and loved ones can help to reduce those feelings of isolation and provide a sense of support and connection. This is especially important during times of stress, and when more and more of us are working from home, and don’t get the social contact we used to.

Pea microgreen supplements

Haha, fooled you. I bet you didn’t think I was going to talk about pea microgreens again. But as we discussed earlier, pea microgreen supplements are a powerful tool for stress relief. By providing the stress-reducing benefits of GABA and other nutrients found in microgreens, they do a bang-up job of promoting relaxation and reducing feelings of anxiety. When I’m stressed at work and feel one of those Xanax moments coming on, I’ll reach for a Revogreen Muscle & Joints instead. It really puts me back on the level, and without addiction and withdrawal side effects. It’s also great right after work and helps me put the stress of the day behind me.

If you combine these natural techniques with pea microgreen supplements, you can create a comprehensive approach to stress management that can help you feel your best.

The Dangers of Chronic Stress: Recognizing the Signs and Taking Action

The Dangers of Chronic Stress: Recognizing the Signs and Taking Action Sometimes stress can really start to take over. I’ve been there, trust me, panic attacks are not a good time. While some stress is a normal part of life, chronic stress can have serious negative effects on your body and mind. Chronic stress occurs when stressors are ongoing and long-term, such as in cases of financial difficulties, relationship problems, or work-related stress. A great example is when I was working on a commercial and pulled 18-hour days for 30 days straight. I really wasn’t the same after that.

Some negative effects of chronic stress on your body include an increased risk of disease, such as heart disease and diabetes, as well as mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. Chronic stress can also decrease your quality of life, interrupting your sleep, decreasing your productivity, and impairing your immune function.

It's important to recognize the signs of stress overload and take proactive steps to manage stress in a healthy way. Some common signs of stress overload include:

Frequent headaches
Irritability or moodiness
Fatigue or exhaustion
Difficulty concentrating
Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
Physical symptoms, such as muscle tension or stomach issues

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to take action to reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating natural stress-relieving techniques such as exercise, mindfulness, and pea microgreen supplements into your daily routine, you can take control of your stress and improve your quality of life. I know I’ve come a long way in how I deal with stress.

Revogreen Recover

Some customers try other people’s microgreens, but they don’t get the same results as Revogreen. Why is that? Many providers grow their microgreens hydroponically or aquaponically. This means their microgreens are deficient in many nutrients. Other growers use cheap soil thinking it won’t affect the nutritional content of the plant…. but it does, drastically. But at Revogreen we grow ours in organic nutrient-dense soil, tapping into the power of mycelium networks and microbes and this makes all the difference.
