Anxiety Depression and Insomnia
GABA is a hormone in your brain that creates a relaxed state of concentration and stress reduction. Low GABA can cause the following:
- Depression: Those who are diagnosed with depression have the lowest GABA levels.
- Anxiety, panic and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): These mental issues are typically caused by imbalances in your GABA levels.
- Insomnia: Research has discovered that those who have this problem generally have lower brain levels of GABA.
GABA is also responsible for increasing alpha brain waves. Alpha brains waves are associated with relaxed wakefulness and are present in higher ratios in states of meditation and mindfulness. Alpha waves have also been associated with decreased depression and increased creativity. Although moderate beta waves can help the mind to focus, high beta wave activity or prominence can lead to stress and anxiety.
You can also improve your GABA by eating grass fed meat, raw organic dairy, sea vegetables, tomatoes, mushrooms and free range eggs.
GABA can be purchased from Professional Health Practitioners.
