Understanding Stress and its Impact on Your Body

Stress isn't just an unpleasant feeling; it has a real physiological impact on our bodies. When we're stressed, our bodies release cortisol, the stress hormone. Chronically elevated cortisol can lead to a host of problems, such as fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, decreased immunity, and even heart problems. It's therefore crucial to find effective ways to manage stress to preserve our physical and mental health.

Shilajit: A Powerful Adaptogen to Combat Stress

Shilajit is a resinous substance that oozes from Himalayan rocks during the summer months. It is rich in fulvic acid, humic acid, and a multitude of essential minerals and trace elements. Shilajit is considered an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and restore its balance (homeostasis). Unlike stimulants, Shilajit does not cause energy spikes followed by a sharp crash. It works gently to strengthen the body's systems and enhance its ability to cope with challenges.

How Shilajit Increases Your Strength and Energy

Shilajit works on several levels to help you feel stronger and more energetic:

• Increased ATP production: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary source of cellular energy. Studies have shown that Shilajit can increase ATP production, resulting in improved physical and mental endurance.
• Improved nutrient absorption: The fulvic acid in Shilajit helps improve the absorption of essential nutrients, allowing your body to more effectively utilize the vitamins and minerals you consume.
• Inflammation reduction: Chronic inflammation is often associated with stress and fatigue. Shilajit has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
• Cognitive function support: Shilajit can improve memory, concentration, and mental clarity, which is especially beneficial during periods of intense stress.

Incorporate Shilajit into Your Daily Routine

Incorporating PURVAL Shilajit into your daily routine is simple and effective. Shilajit resin dissolves easily in hot water or tea. A small portion (about the size of a grain of rice) is usually enough to experience its benefits. It is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
