Preparing for exams
We're out of the dark days now heading into spring and so many of us are glad of the extra light - especially those who go to and come home from work, school or college in the dark throughout the winter months. It is good that people can recognise that a lack of sunlight has an effect on their mood and take steps to alleviate it, whether it's vitamin D or a herbal supplement.
With the increased focus on protecting our mental health, and especially that of our teenagers, many parents are rightly concerned about the part phones and their continuous connection to social media plays in what seems to be a rising problem. But the other major factor in their lives is the stress around exams.
Health Stores Ireland member stores can offer much in this area. We always begin by recommending the benefits of a healthy diet. With students particularly it is important for keeping energy levels stable and avoid the spikes caused by sugar and caffeine. Regular exercise is hugely important, even if it's a 10 minute burst of activity between study sessions. If stress is beginning to cross the line from what would be expected, there is plenty of help. When you go into one of our member shops you will find staff who are experienced and educated. They are ready to listen and are able to advise on strategies to help with what can be a hugely stressful time, not just for the student but also their families!
No two students are the same and our approach will always depend on the individual. Apart from saying that generally a good B complex supplement would benefit most students, how they experience stress varies from one person to another. For some they can't shut off, and a good magnesium or an amino acid can help calm the over-excited nervous system. Others are more depleted from the long hours and might benefit from a herbal supplement or a multivitamin/mineral to give them a boost. Sometimes it's more emotional and a flower essence combination might steady them through.
Now is the time to visit your health store for advice, find out whether something needs to be addressed early and to have the reassurance of a plan in place for when the make or break stage arrives in a couple of months' time!
