Stress is at the root of inflammation and disease. Some experts believe adaptogens have the ability to stabilize blood sugar and reduce stress.

To step up your healthy game you might consider adding some adatogens. Adaptogens are derived from herbs and plants and help increase our resistance to stress, anxiety and fatigue. The body’s response to stress is the production of cortisol and adrenaline which results in an increase in heart and blood sugar (to briefly explain it). Long term stress which we all have experienced can decrease your ability to return to a normal restful state so you end up in a chronic stress state with chronic inflammation.
