Description:

Anxiety: A Growing Problem | GOOD4U D-Stress/Tranquilo: A Growing Solution! Work is an activity central to the lives and well-being of most people. It provides, not only, the economic means to survival, but also the disposable income for the acquisition of those things we desire. Work, paid or voluntary, also contributes to our sense of self-esteem, community connection, and it is a source of needed routine and structure (Wahl, 2000:39) However, even though work confers these benefits and others, it also is a significant source of stress for many people. A 1997 survey of 890 Canadian adults revealed that two of the main sources of stress were work and concerns about unemployment (COMPAS, nd.:2) British studies have found that many people attribute the cause of their mental health problems to their job (Creed, 1993:1082) The cost of time lost from work because of mental health problems is enormous; Over 91 million working days each year in the UK. Stress-related absences cost an estimated £4 billion annually (Gray, 2000:3-4), According to Statistics Canada the annual cost of work time lost to stress stands at $12 billion (CMHA, 2000).

Passion Flower: Passion flower works on the nerves by toning the sympathetic nerve, and also by improving the blood circulation and the nutrition that the nerves receive. The flower works gently, and sedates a person smoothly, and reduces the symptoms of over-activity and panic in a person therby making it a mild, non-addictive herbal tranquilizer.

L-Theanine: L-Theanine is an amino acid that helps promote a mild, restful, relaxed state without diminishing daytime alertness. Stress impairs the immune system, leaving us vulnerable to opportunistic infections and can cause depression. People under stress can mitigate many of the harmful effects of stress with l-theanine. L-Theanine reduces stress and anxiety without the tranquilizing effects found in many other calming supplements. Theanine has a reputation for promoting mental and physical relaxation and decreasing stress and anxiety without inducing drowsiness, as measured by increased generation of alpha-waves. L-Theanine directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves. Bt increasing the brain's output of apha waves, theanine may control anxiety, increase mental focus, improve concentration, and promote creativity.
