Use micro-techniques to reduce stress
Studies show stress has negative effects on organs and tissues, including the brain, circulatory system and immune system. Many Americans report insomnia, anxiety, anger or fatigue due to stress. It's unlikely that anybody can remove stress completely, but if you have the discipline to incorporate three simple techniques into your daily routine, you may be surprised at the calming benefits you can experience in 5 to 10 minutes.
First, just take five deep breaths with your eyes closed a few times per day or whenever you feel stressed. Second, meditate for another five minutes per day to clear your mind. Meditation may sound intimidating, but it's easier than you may think to get started. There are even apps you can use on your phone for free guided meditations, like Sattva Meditations and Mantras or Insight Timer. Third, smile. Studies show the act of smiling affects brain chemistry to make you feel happier by immediately changing your hormone and stress levels.

There's another option. Consider taking safer, more natural, more effective alternatives to pills that are better absorbed. A new category of supplements called microgels uses an advanced technology to replace tablets and capsules. Microgels allow for maximum absorption of ingredients into the body by releasing small nutrient particles in the digestive tract. These microgels are a more natural way to supplement the diet - they are 100 percent free of synthetic binding glues, fillers and coatings listed as "other ingredients" in many supplements.
One example of a high quality microgel multivitamin is Bioactive Multi by Healthycell. Available in individual packets, you can take Bioactive Multi straight from the gel pack, add it to a drink or meal, or blend it into yogurt or smoothies. For information, visit www.healthycell.com.
