3 ways Ashwagandha work for stress
1. Ashwagandha has been shown to positively affect the neural receptors responsible for receiving GABA, an important neurotransmitter in reducing anxiety and worry.
2. Fat is a slow burning fuel, which is required to provide the long-lasting fuel to sleep deeply through the night. Studies suggest that ashwagandha supports healthy weight while under heavy stress in addition to balancing blood sugar levels and decreasing insulin fluctuations.
3. Ashwagandha has been shown to help limit the production of cortisol as a result of stressful situations
