Over the counter help for truckers dealing with stress
Ok, So If you are interested in finding over the counter help for Anxiety and Depression then here is something that may be of interest. I was talking with a friend of mine that happens to be an M.D. he is really into taking natural supplements to support wellness. He told me about an over the counter nutrient called L-Folate. L-Folate is an easier to assimilate form of folic acid.
According to what I was told as well as my research Some of us have a condition where our bodies don't produce or assimilate Folic Acid in adequate amounts. This can have all kinds of negative effects contributing to problems like Alzheimer's, Depression, Anxiety, Diebetes and a whole lot more potential problems. Here is a link to an interesting article regarding L Folate and Senior Citizens, http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/phnutr-l/2007-February/018254.html
when you buy it in the store or amazon you want to look for " 5-MTHF" (from what I can tell that is the good stuff that your body absorbs the best) The kind I bought was 1 mg. and there where 60 capsules in the Bottle, It cost me 16.70 at my local pharmacy. which I am going to take 1 to 3 times per day.
If you are suffering from depression you can always ask your Dr to test your blood to make sure you have adequate Folic Acid. I also read that it is important to have enough Vitamin B 12 with your Folic Acid. So I jumped on my Bicycle and road down to the only Pharmacy in town that carries the 5-MTHF and bought some. I also bought some vitamin B-12.
It may have been cheaper to have ordered it from Amazon but I needed the Bike Ride and didn't feel like waiting.

Stay focused and improve your brain by Meditating, listening to Classical Music and taking Theanine.
Gary Scott talks about how he and his wife Merri are able to stay focused and relaxed using Classical Music, Theanine, (an active ingredient in green tea) and Meditation. I have used several of Gary Scott's Courses for starting an internet Biz as well as investing. One thing I like about Gary's E mails is that they almost always have something interesting and or of value to his readers!
Even if you don't sign up for his course you will get a lot out of his E mailed articles he sends out most day's. here is the link to the Stress Relief article http://www.garyascott.com/?utm_source=Gary+A.+Scott+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ed47e97a77-Succeed_Inspite_of_Change_Stress5_31_2011&utm_medium=email
