We Were Surprised Too: Discovering This Root Will Help You Forget Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression

The marathon of life we're in often puts us in a 'sensory freeze', manifesting through phenomena like depression, chronic fatigue, and a general lack of energy. If you're a fan of natural health, you'll be pleased to know that Hashem has already embedded all cures in plants and foods that He created for us, containing essential substances that can heal and restore all internal systems.

Fatigue can sometimes result from a lack of essential vitamins and minerals that our body simply doesn't receive enough from the foods we eat. Other times, it's due to stress that we haven't managed to calm. What's the downside of this? Even when we find rest and relaxation, the body receives the message that we're still tense and stressed because stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline have been released.

In such a state, the brain signals the body that it's still in the race and needs to worry, leading us to experience a kind of emotional letdown. The body is exhausted from these internal battles, and sometimes it can manifest in continuous sleep disruptions.

The black maca plant, originating from South America and Peru, has been extensively researched in the past decade, generating a significant buzz — and rightfully so. Recent studies define it as a 'super plant' containing an astronomical quantity of vitamins and minerals, which we recognize in pharmacies as concentrated capsules.

The question arises, why this particular plant, and how is it different from other plants also rich in vitamins and minerals?

Here's the moment to reveal its incredible uniqueness:

It's unclear why it was selected, but the vitamins and minerals in maca are completely absorbed by the body. Therefore, after just two weeks of consumption, you'll notice a change in your body.

So, what else is it good for?

Many doctors and researchers who have examined the properties of the maca plant report it as an 'energy bomb' that significantly reduces symptoms of anxiety, stress, tension, lack of energy, extreme mood swings, and sleep disorders.

"Like ginseng and licorice root, maca root is one of the plants we classify as those that directly improve hormonal balance in the body, thus aiding in coping with illness, anxiety, and chronic fatigue. Our endocrine system extremely influences all other body systems, and if you suffer from symptoms of anxiety — maca can be your best friend," as noted on an American website dedicated to explaining hormones and how to control them.

During stress, our body reacts in three main stages known in medicine as the 'general adaptation syndrome'.

The first stage is the 'alarm' stage, where something triggers the stress feeling — like seeing a frightening spider or unexpected car braking.

Due to this stress, in the second stage, our body increases the release of cortisol and adrenaline hormones, and in the third stage — 'adrenal fatigue' or a state where our hormones are imbalanced, causing fatigue and burnout occurs.

As stress increases, so do anxieties and aversions to life, God forbid. But according to research, maca root significantly reduces some of the strain on the adrenal glands and other systems, helping the body 'skip' the fatigue stage and not languish in it for long.

What does the maca plant look like?

It resembles a radish in size and shape, with a white-yellow hue.

Where to get it and how to consume it?

In the country, the plant is only available in pharmacies and health stores, sold as capsules containing 100% maca powder.
