ANXIETY HELP

What is anxiety?
Anxiety may be described as a feeling of danger and dread in response to a perceived threat. It is a common reaction to everyday stress and a positive catalyst or a destructive and debilitating force. When anxiety overwhelms us, it can cause increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a sense of panic, flushing and perspiration. It is said that anxiety is related to performance by an “inverted U”. In the first part of the up-slope of the “inverted U”, your initial anxiety can actually enhance your performance by increasing vigilance and improving cognitive ability. As the anxiety further increases, however, you may enter the down-slope of the “inverted U”, experiencing a myriad of unpleasant physical symptoms and mental discomfort.

What can you do about anxiety?
Taking a natural source of tryptophan primes the brain to produce its own natural anxiety suppressor, serotonin. An increase in serotonin causes a reduction in anxiety in harmony with normal brain chemistry.

Tryptophan, unlike many drugs, does not dull cognitive abilities to fool you that the perceived stress is somehow less then it really is. It simply allows you to deal with perceived stresses in a calm and efficient manner. The result is that you remain on the part of the “inverted U” where you almost feel energized by the stressful situation and able to deal with it with clarity and a rapid thought processes. Since tryptophan works within the brain’s own natural chemistry, it produces just the right amount of serotonin at the right time, thereby avoiding issues like side effects and dependence.
