time 4 Smartphones, computers, and tablets are an unavoidable part of everyday life for many people. While these devices are often necessary, using them too often may increase stress levels. A number of studies have linked excessive smartphone use and ―iPhone addiction‖ with increased levels of stress and mental health disorders ( 21Trusted Source , 22Trusted Source , 23Trusted Source , 24Trusted Source ). Spending too much time in front of screens in general is associated with lower psychological well-being and increased stress levels in both adults and kids ( 25Trusted Source , 26Trusted Source , 27Trusted Source ). Furthermore, screen time may negatively affect sleep, which may also lead to increased stress levels ( 28Trusted Source ). SUMMARY Minimizing screen time may help reduce stress and improve sleep in both children and adults. 4. Consider supplements Several vitamins and minerals play an important role in your body’s stress response and mood regulation. As such, a deficiency in one or more nutrients may affect your mental health and ability to cope with stress. Plus, some studies show that certain dietary supplements may help reduce stress and improve mood. For example, when you’re chronically stressed, your magnesium levels may become depleted. Since this mineral plays an important role in your body’s stress response, it’s importan t to make sure you’re getting enough each day. Supplementing 5 with magnesium has been shown to improve stress in chronically stressed people ( 20Trusted Source , 29Trusted Source ). An 8-week study in 264 people with low magnesium found that taking 300 mg of this mineral daily helped reduce stress levels. Combining this dose of magnesium with vitamin B6 was even more effective ( 30Trusted Source ). Other supplements, including rhodiola, ashwagandha , B vitamins, and L- theanine, have been shown to help reduce stress as well ( 31Trusted Source , 32Trusted Source , 33Trusted Source , 34Trusted Source ). However, dietary supplements may not be appropriate or safe for everyone. Consult a healthcare professional if you’re interested in using supplements to help relieve stress. Download 350.14 Kb.
