Here are a few recommendations:
- Sleep. Turns out doomscrolling and late-night panic eating aren’t the recipe for a good night of sleep. To turn things around, Bassi recommends “incorporating certain research-backed natural ingredients into your diet.” For example, you might want to throw some valerian root into your Amazon shopping cart during your next order. Bassi says it is a “medicinal herb that has been used since ancient times to relieve sleep disturbances and reduce the time taken to fall asleep.”
- Focus. Struggling to pay attention in Zoom meetings? Losing interest in the Netflix menu after only an hour of trying to pick something to watch? Bassi says to give Bacopa Monnieri a try. It’s a nootropic herb that has been shown to improve cognition, reduce anxiety, and improve memory formation. According to Bassi it “works by enhancing the rate at which the nervous system can communicate by increasing the growth of nerve endings.”
- Mental Health. If you’re feeling something serious like depression you should seek some professional help like therapy, but if you’re just feeling a bit off, there may be a natural way to improve your mood. Bassi believes that matcha is a great ingredient to add to your daily routine because it’s loaded with antioxidants that have been shown to help people maintain a positive mood. And the best part is it’s available as a green tea.
