Your immune system shuts down
Your body becomes a fat-storing machine
You start to age faster
& put yourself at risk of serious health problems later on
But
There are ways for you to lower your stress without meds

Chelated forms are your best option

6. L-Theanine
One of my favorites anti-stress tools
Derived from green tea, this amino acid (protein building block) gives its users what I call "zen focus"
Relaxation with a hint of extra sharpness
Can be used to add pep into your step
or even improve your sleep at night
