They are important for many reasons, from helping your cells grow properly to converting food to energy. - B-vitamins are often called the "stress" vitamins. When bodies are forced of physical and emotional stress, B-vitamins and other key nutrients are the first to be depleted. The body not only needs specific nutrients to combat stress, it must also replace the nutrients that stress directly uses up. - the B-vitamins shown are beneficial in some conditions such as anxiety and stress, convalescence and fatigue, dermatitis, diverticulitis, poor hair condition and tinnitus 2) Vitamin C - Responsible for over 300 functions in your body, being the top anti-oxidant, producing collagen, keeping your immune system healthy, curing some male infertility problems, lowering blood pressure and relieving stress. - Stimulates adrenal function and the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline), our stress hormones - Ascorbic acid also helps your thyroid gland to produce adequate quantities of its hormone. - Vitamin C also aids in cholesterol metabolism, increasing its elimination and thereby assisting in lowering blood cholesterol. 3) Stress-Reducing Fatty Acids - Fatty acid nutritional supplements can increase resistance to stress--and its debilitating and costly side effects. - Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), effective in reducing heart disease risk and treating rheumatoid arthritis and intestinal inflammations like Crohn's disease. - DHA has different beneficial properties and appears to be particularly important in brain biochemistry. It involves in the maturation of brain cells during gestation and infancy. 4) Healthy Lifestyle - Exercise regularly. - Eat a healthy and balanced diet. - Reduce caffeine and sugar so that you’ll feel more relaxed and sleep better. - Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. - Get enough sleep.

4) Healthy Lifestyle- Exercise regularly.- Eat a healthy and balanced diet.- Reduce caffeine and sugar so that you’ll feel more relaxed and sleep better.- Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. - Get enough sleep. Adequate sleep fuels your mind, as well as your body.

5) Physical Activity- Physical activity and exercise are simply necessary today. We sit in the office, we sit in the car. It is not just great for your muscles but the mind as well. Finally, relaxation is essential to bring it all together and give the body and mind a break from a busy, stressful day.

Omega 3 fatty acid, or alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the best sources of omega 3 fatty acids are flax seed oil, fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel, sea greens, walnuts, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, and canola oil.

Omega 6 fatty acid, also known as linoleic acid, most vegetable oils contain linoleic acid, such as soy, corn, sunflower, and cottonseed oils. Omega 6 is also found in most nuts and beans, tofu, olives, and dark leafy greens.
