Interesting Article on Reducing Stress & Anxiety

[Mr. Bloom]

Found this article on yahoo this morning (http://health.yahoo.com/experts/drmao/15163/how-to-manage-stress-during-tough-times/).

It caught my attention because of the implication of stimulants in soft drinks and coffee...but this GABA is something I've not heard of before.

Yesterday was a good day on my diet drink battle...I did not succumb to three incidents of temptation opting for water instead...

Water with a twist of lime is my current favorite. Or fizzy water (club soda or mineral water) for a difference - with the lime.

And with my a/c being out, I drank a LOT of ice water!

GABA is a neurotransmitter. I would *believe* the body is capable of making enough on its own.

I looked in pub med but not much to be found on GABA as a supplement.

Supplement companies OTOH.... :eek:

I took GABA for a very short period. It made me anxious and irritable! It's also not cheap.
