Stress is not ideal, but it happens, we get it. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of work and life, but have you ever stopped to consider what that stress may be doing to your health in the long run? Stress can take years off your life for many reasons. It can lead to increased anxiety, inflammation, poor diet and lifestyle decisions, and can lead to massive strains on the heart. This can eventually cause conditions like strokes, heart attacks, depression, high blood pressure, mood changes, and even weight fluctuations. Our body responds to stress on a greater scale than we may think, and because of that, we have to be more mindful of the kind of stress we are putting on ourselves both mentally and physically. We get it though, life just happens sometimes and we would be lying if we said stress was 100% avoidable. However, you can supplement with a few things to help you keep those stress levels down. We love supplementing with superfoods like Ashwagandha and other adaptogens like Rhodiola and Lion’s Mane. Another great superfood nutrient is L-theanine. This amino acid is great for fighting stress, anxiety, and even insomnia. When paired with caffeine, it becomes a powerhouse amino acid and helps really keep that stress and anxiety reduced throughout the day. The Kimera Koffee formula incorporates L-theanine into our roasts so you can achieve your goals throughout the day while also ensuring you aren’t coupling that with added stress.
