Natural Remedies for Stress

Modern life is stressful enough, but when a curveball comes our way and throws our lives off balance, stress can be detrimental our health. One way we can regain control of our health during a stressful phase is to eat foods and supplements that will help our bodies deal with the overload. Here are some suggestions:

• Vitamin C helps reduce the physical and psychological effects of stress. You may surprised to know that one of the best natural sources of Vitamin C is potatoes (with the skin). Other sources include citrus fruit such as oranges, strawberries, canteloupe, and raw green cabbage.
• Calcium helps regulate the heart rate, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. When the body is working too hard to fight stress, it will lose more calcium than usual. Sources of calcium include dairy products, broccoli, tofu, and raw almonds.
• Magnesium is very calming and is good for anyone who is hot-tempered or dealing with anxiety. Some of the best sources of magnesium include green vegetables such as spinach, nuts, and seeds.
• Omega-3 fatty acids are also good for reducing stress and maintaining a healthy heart. Natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, tuna, flaxseed oil, herring, mackeral, and walnuts.

Introducing the SaniManiPedi

Although we don't do manicures or pedicures at @Ease Spa, we recognize that getting your nails done is part of a normal beauty routine. It is important to choose a clean, safe, reputable nail salon as viral, bacterial, and fungal infections can be an unfortunate side effect from salon tools that are not sanitized. If you are not sure whether your salon is clean enough, there is a new product on the market to help protect you, the SaniManiPedi liquid solution. All-natural, biodegradable, and never tested on animals, this botanical formula sanitizes water without using harsh chemicals. You simply tear open a single-use package into your foot bath, and sit back and relax knowing you are not prone to infection. SaniManiPedi also sells a nail tool kit so that you can bring your own tools to the salon, which is the only way to ensure that they are clean and sanitized.
