Perfect Recipe for Fighting Stress ft. Naked Nutrition Collagen Powder
First, learn about stress reduction, then scroll to learn how to enter our Naked Nutrition giveaway!
This year, we’re all about rest – rest, recovery, and stress reduction. When we are busy or fail to set boundaries between work and home (something we learned about in 2020), our bodies become stressed. The more obvious stress is mental – for example, feeling tired, having brain fog, or getting irritated easily. The less obvious manifestation of stress is inflammation – for example, swelling, pain, digestive problems, and a poor immune response.
As we mentioned above, there is one very simple way to deal with stress: Rest. Other ways to manage stress is with exercise, meditation, and nourishing foods. When it comes to nutrition, think “veggies first.” Fill your plate with dark leafy greens, plant-based sources of fat and protein, then spice things up with one of our favorite stress fighters, turmeric.
Another consideration if you’re feeling stress manifest in your body is boosting your collagen intake. Collagen, one of the most abundant proteins found in the human body, is responsible for providing strength, structure, and elasticity to skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. Stress is basically collagen’s mortal enemy. This is because stress causes blood to flow away from the skin making your skin look dull and making it hard for it to produce collagen effectively.
Power up with turmeric and collagen
We teamed up with Naked Nutrition to bring you a powerful turmeric-collagen Golden Milk recipe. Naked Nutrition’s Collagen Peptides Protein Powder has only one ingredient, bovine hide collagen peptides sourced from pasture-raised cows in Europe. It is odorless, tasteless, and easy to mix in with your favorite drinks, smoothies, oatmeal bowls – really anything.
The amazing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powers of turmeric paired with the electricity-boosting collagen powder are a combo that can’t be matched.
