It seems to happen more and more as you age.
The newspapers are piling up on the sidewalk… your sink is full of dishes… and you haven’t cooked a real meal in weeks.
You simply don’t have the energy you need to get anything done.
And when your energy levels are this low, t’s easy to reach a coffee or a candy bar.
But there’s something else you should be going for.
Because Mother Nature has a long-lasting powerful energy solution.
And it’s all thanks to some miracle molecules.
Adaptogens are natural herbs that contain energy-promoting molecules.
They can give your energy levels a BIG BOOST not because they give you a jolt… but because they help your body deal with stress and fatigue naturally.
You see, they help strengthen and repair your body’s response to stress and enhance your ability deal with anxiety.
And when your body handles stress better… your exhaustion fades away.
There are many herbal adaptogens, but here are my favorites:
- Ginseng is commonly used to combat low energy, especially in the elderly who are recovering from illness, or those with poor immune function.
- Rhodiola helps to regulate the stress hormone cortisol.
- Ashwagandha is often referred to as Indian ginseng because it stabilizes cortisol levels and improves stress resistance. It has been studied in clinical trials for improved cognition and memory, quality of life, thyroid health, and maybe even male-pattern baldness
- Holy basil contains three compound that help to lower blood cortisone (a stress hormone), improve brain function, and reduce stress
- Licorice root has been show to regulate cortisol levels, and lower stress responses.
- Astragalus helps with fatigue, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and strengthens the immune system.
- Cordyceps mushrooms help improve and optimize adrenal activity and the stress response, especially in depleted states.
Health and Happiness,
