“Feeling stressed out all the time? Did you know chronic stress can lead to health problems like weight gain? Here’s some good news: Ashwagandha, a natural stress-reliever, might help!

In a study done by scientists, 52 people who were feeling really stressed took either 300mg of Ashwagandha or a pretend pill (placebo) twice a day. The researchers checked how stressed, happy, and hungry the participants were, and also took a look at their cortisol (a stress hormone), body weight, and BMI.

After 8 weeks, the results were in. Those who took Ashwagandha were feeling less stressed, were happier, and had less food cravings. Even better, their cortisol levels went down, and so did their body weight and BMI. And the icing on the cake? Ashwagandha was safe and easy on the stomach.

So, according to this study, Ashwagandha could be a natural way to help manage weight in adults who are under constant stress. Feeling intrigued? Want to learn more about the study? Click here!”
