St John’s Wort – Can Help Ease Anxiety, Depression and Get Your Weight Loss Back on Track
A successful weight loss plan can change a life. The proper nutrition, foods, exercise, goal setting and motivation are all important in achieving a weight loss goal. A component that is often left out of many fad diets is the emotional aspect of weight loss. For many, the root cause of poor health,habits and weight gain lies in the emotional realm. Depression, anxiety and stress often play the role of weight loss and health destroyer. Mild depression, anxiety and emotional stress will drive poor eating habits, deplete the body of much needed vitamins and nutrients and send the adrenal glands into overdrive (this causes an overproduction of cortisol which leads to “metabolic syndrome”) Unfortunately, in many cases even the best weight loss shakes and herbs are not successful until the emotional issues are addressed. What can be even more discouraging, many of us get our weight loss plan off to a great start. Then, unfortunately, life may throw us a curve ball. Depression, anxiety and stress can become part of our lives at anytime. Thankfully, there is a safe,easy and effective holistic solution!
