An All-Natural Way To Fight Stress - Eat Melon
Dear Reader,
If you're stressing, a French study published in the latest Nutrition Journal offers you a way to cope - eat a melon.
A key ingredient in this delicious fruit is an enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD) that has helpful antioxidant properties known to prevent damage to body tissues. This remarkable enzyme may help to cut the damage caused by oxidative stress, which is the process that releases those troublesome atoms known as free radicals into the tissues of the body.
Melons, it turns out, are a rich source of an extract dubbed "the enzyme of life" when it was first discovered in 1968. It's believed by many experts to be even more powerful than antioxidant vitamins because it encourages the body to produce its own antioxidants such as catalase and glutathione peroxidase.
The placebo-controlled, double-blind study involved representatives from Seppic France (the distributor of a commercial extract of SOD known as Extramel) working in collaboration with scientists from the University Henri Poincaré and Isoclin to investigate the anti-stress effects of this natural compound on 70 healthy volunteers aged 30 to 55.
Earlier work had shown that there may be a link between psychological stress and oxidative stress, and this team wanted to see if helping the body to deal with oxidative stress might also help people cope with mental stress too.
The lead researcher, Marie-Anne Milesi of Seppic points out, "Several studies have shown that there is a link between psychological stress and intracellular oxidative stress. We wanted to test whether augmenting the body's ability to deal with oxidative species might help a person's ability to resist burnout."
Damage from oxidative stress has been implicated in many diseases - life changing conditions such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease - as well as how we age. Free radicals come from the natural intake of oxygen as your breathe, interacting with other molecules inside your cells. Beyond what happens inside the body, things from the environment such as pollution, sunlight and smoking can also trigger the production of dangerous free radicals.
The research randomly assigned stressed but healthy volunteers to two different groups. One group of subjects took a capsule with 10 mg Extramel, equal to 140 international units of the SOD enzyme, the other group got a capsule with an inactive starch compound.

An All-Natural Way To Fight Stress - Eat Melon Continued...
The group taking the SOD enzyme reported fewer stress or fatigue symptoms than those who took the placebo capsule. In fact, the positive effects on stress and fatigue was much greater and longer lasting than the researchers had expected.
Taking the enzyme seemed to offer significant improvements to concentration, cut feelings of being tired, lessened irritability and improved sleeping problems.
There was a strong placebo effect in the 35 subjects who got the placebo capsule, though the effect only seemed to last for the first week of the study. This may have been because the levels of fatigue and stress were not out of the ordinary in these volunteers.
The authors suggest that the results might have been more pronounced if subjects with higher levels of stress or fatigue had been a part of the work.
Further research of a longer duration with a larger number of subjects will be needed to confirm these results. In the meantime, a serving of juicy, delicious melon might just be the natural answer to dealing with everyday stress.
To your good health,
