Nervousness
How To Improve Your Nervous System Naturally
A healthy nervous system is key to a relaxed mind, calm body and overall well-being. If you routinely suffer from Anxiety, insomnia, muscle twitches, and/or low appetite, your nervous system may need some support. Let’s look at ways to improve your nervous system naturally.
Let Food Be Your Medicine
A common but often overlooked Cause Of Anxiety and other mental health problems is hidden food allergies and intolerances. The most common foods to cause allergic reaction with mental/emotional symptoms are gluten, artificial sweeteners and food additives. The best way to improve the nervous system naturally is to eliminate possible Causes Of Anxiety and Mental Illness. For one week cut out all wheat, gluten, artificial sweeteners and anything containing additives from the diet and note how you feel. If there is an improvement in mood and well-being, you’ve narrowed down the culprit. Next, reintroduce each food one at a time to see what you react to. When you find it, you’ll know and be able to completely eliminate it from the diet. It is important to note there are two artificial sweeteners that interfere with proper nervous system function. One is aspartame, the other is high fructose corn syrup. There are over 92 different symptoms of aspartame poisoning, a lot of them nervous system related. Removing it from your diet completely will help improve nervous system function. High fructose corn syrup is another man-made sweetener that has been known to cause increased inflammation in the body, which can interfere with nervous system function.
Let Medicine Be Your Food
Now that you’ve eliminated the potential cause of a highly-stressed nervous system, let’s take a look at the foods designed by nature to enhance and support nervous system function. Foods rich in B vitamins, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids are essential in repairing a damaged nervous system. Examples of foods rich in B vitamins are dark, leafy green vegetables, whole grain bread, eggs, legumes, berries and red meat. Foods high in magnesium include black beans, broccoli, squash, pumpkin seeds, cooked spinach and halibut. High doses of omega-3 fatty acids can be found in foods such as salmon, sardines, flax seeds, walnuts and cooked soybeans.
Magnesium – The Miracle Mineral
Magnesium is essential to proper neurological function as it helps regulate 300 of the body’s enzymatic reactions. Those deficient in magnesium often suffer from anxiety, insomnia, twitching muscles and other neurological ailments. If you feel you are not getting enough magnesium from food, supplement with chelated magnesium. Unlike other magnesium supplements, chelated magnesium is bioavailable, meaning it is best absorbed by the body for maximum benefit. Another way to get the enzymes you need is to bathe in Epsom salt. Epsom salt is not salt but magnesium sulfate which easily absorbs through the skin, relaxing and soothing a frayed nervous system. It is important to note that if you are pregnant, diabetic or allergic to sulfur, you should not take an Epsom salt bath.
Chiropractic Care
Most people, when they think of chiropractic medicine, think of a doctor who treats the neck and back. It’s so much more than that. Physical or mental trauma can block the brain’s ability to communicate properly with the rest of the nervous system, resulting in anxiety, neurological complaints and a host of other difficult-to-diagnose diseases. By performing subtle manipulations of the spine, a chiropractor can help rebalance the nervous system by eliminating the block and re-establishing communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
If you’re suffering from the symptoms of a weak or traumatized nervous system, the above methods can help improve your nervous system naturally.

Cal/Mag 90 VCaps $8.34 Cal-Mag uses only minerals that are guaranteed to be of superior quality for maximum absorption. Independent research suggests that chelated minerals may be more bioavailable than regular ionic minerals. We use pure calcium extracted from Calcium Hydroxide and Calcium Carbonate for Calcium AAC. Calcium is one of the most abundant substances found in the body. Over 99% of all the calcium found in the body is located in the bones and teeth. The primary function of calcium is in the development and maintenance of strong bones and healthy teeth and gums. A constant supply of this mineral is required throughout life, especially during periods of growth, such as childhood, pregnancy and lactation. It is also important in the maintenance of a healthy heart. Calcium may help prevent cardiovascular disease, lower cholesterol levels, is essential in blood clotting and may lower blood pressure. Calcium may prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease in which bones become fragile and more vulnerable to breaking and fracturing. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress until a bone breaks, making the condition painfully evident. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist and often require extensive recovery.Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for more than 28 million Americans, 80 percent of whom are women. In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals already have the disease and 18 million more have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. One in two women and one in eight men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Post-menopausal women are often more susceptible to osteoporosis as a result of possible hormonal imbalance. An insufficient amount of nutrients, poor diet and lack of weight-bearing exercise can also contribute to the onset of osteoporosis.Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in soft tissues and is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity, especially the activity of those enzymes involved in energy production. Magnesium functions in the conversion of carbohydrates, protein, and fats to energy. It also plays a role in the synthesis of the genetic material within each cell and removal of excess toxic substances. Poor magnesium intake affects all tissues, especially tissues of the heart, nerves and kidneys. Deficiencies of this mineral may interfere with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses, causing irritability and nervousness. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has qualities of both a vitamin and a hormone. It’s primary function is to regulate the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus and to aid in the formation of normal bones and teeth. Vitamin D also protects against muscle weakness and is necessary for thyroid function. It is involved in regulation of the heartbeat and normal blood clotting. By regulating the level of cal |
