It's no shocker that stress is bad for the body. I mean, it's roughly pretty bad for anybody, then you mix in a chronic illness and WOOF. That's just bad. Like bad bad.
I remember the first time a doctor told me to watch my stress levels. (and I laugh cried at home) Because let's be real, how do you not stress out when your body is flaring. It's damn near impossible.
Let's break down stress and what it doesn't to your body.
When stress or duress starts happening in your body, your blood releases cortisol, a hormone that directly goes to your amygdala which causes your blood pressure to rise, your muscles to tense, and your body to enter into fight or flight mode. This protects your body. Don't get me wrong, it's a great response. The biggest problem for you and your chronic illness is when cortisol is running throughout the bloodstream that fight or flight response causes cortisol to hang out and make camp, and then your digestive tract is trying to fight against itself, (even though with an autoimmune condition it already is fighting with itself)
You are making more work for your body.
When you do self-care things like yoga, resting, taking a bath, those are all good, and supportive, but let's be honest, everyone needs a little more support.
Introducing Elite.
Think of Elite as a support to everything you are already doing. This works directly with your bloodstream and digestive tract to BREAK DOWN and eliminate that cortisol build-up. How does it do that? Many good things.
One of the biggest ingredients of elite is Ashwagandha
Often called the “ultimate mood food;’ Ashwagandha helps reduce Cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. This, in turn, helps decrease fatigue and increase energy while also promoting a restful night’s sleep.
The second is Aloe. Aloe works by delivering essential amino acids to your body, Aloe supports healthy functioning of the immune and digestive systems. Study up on how amino acids are GOOD for your body.
The BEST part for me (having a gross digestive tract) is liquid is easier for your body to break down.
