Nutri-Calm - Designed to Support a Healthy Nervous
System During Times of Pressure
Your mind goes over the 101 things you have to do by the end of the day, but the traffic still isn't moving or the kids start squabbling and you can't concentrate or think clearly. Your heart is pounding, nerves jangling, temper rising. By tonight you know you will have a headache or indigestion.... Welcome to the stressful world. We all know what it feels like when life's demands seem to get on top of us. Everyone experiences stress, whether working in a demanding or repetitive job, looking after a home and family, or
juggling the two. Stress is a feature of modern life.
Our reaction to stress is a primitive response. It dates back thousands of years to when humans faced life-threatening dangers every day. Surprising a saber-toothed tiger in the wilds, humans needed that quick rush of adrenaline to help them fight or run. Nowadays demanding or new situations can still evoke this prehistoric reaction. But today it might be a telephone call with an urgent request or an important meeting with the boss which provokes the stress response.
We all talk about feeling 'run down' or 'under the weather' when we are under stress. Often we find this is just the time when we go down with a cold or stomach bug. In fact, stress is now estimated to be the most common reason people take time off work sick. There are clear scientific reasons for this. The chemical reactions which help the body gear up for stressful situations can cause problems if they carry on for too long.
How Stress Affects the Nervous System
The nervous system comprises the brain, the spine and the multitude of nerves throughout the body. The nervous system runs the body. In this respect, it is responsible for making sure the organs within the body do the right things at the right time. It is also responsible for making the body react to external stimulus. It schedules, monitors and makes decisions that keep the body functioning and aware. If the nervous system is constantly telling the body to be on a state of high alert then it can't or won't tell the body to calm down and relax. Ultimately this is dangerous to the health of the body.
Healthy Ways to Cope With Stress:
- Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet.
- Get enough sleep.
- Exercise regularly.
- Limit caffeine, alcohol and nicotine
The B Vitamins:
The B vitamins (B-complex) a are one of the most important groups of vitamins that can have a great influence on a person’s health as well as on one’s physical and mental performance. It is a part of the group of nutrients which are responsible for the creation of some of the most basic structures in the nervous system.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin):
Thiamin is particularly important for the normal functioning of nerves. It is necessary for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which affects several brain functions including memory, and also maintains muscle tone of the stomach, intestines and heart.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin):
Riboflavin is important for nerve development, and the metabolism of brain neurotransmitters require riboflavin.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin):
Niacin is essential for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid):
Pantothenic acid is necessary for the production of some neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, and is essential for normal nervous system function.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine):
Adequate vitamin B6 is vital to the healthy development and function of the nervous system. It is involved in the manufacture of several neurotransmittersincluding serotonin, GABA, dopamine and noradrenaline, and 
plays an important role in regulating mental processesand mood. Concentrations of vitamin B6 are up to 25 to 50 times higher in the brain than in the blood.
Vitamin B7 (Biotin):
Biotin is essential for cell growth and replication through its role in the manufacture of DNA and RNA, which make up the genetic material of the cell.
Vitamin B9 (Folate /Folic Acid):
Folic acid is involved in the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which regulate brain functions including mood, sleep and appetite. Folic acid is essential for the development of the brain, spinal cord and skeleton in the foetus.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin):
Vitamin B12 is involved in the manufacture of the myelin sheath, a fatty layer which insulates nerves. It is also essential in the formation of neurotransmitters.
Other substances that play a major role in the nervous system:
Vitamin C:
Vitamin C plays a role in the manufacture of neurotransmitters. It is necessary for the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin, and of tyrosine to dopamine and adrenaline.
