What is nervousness?
Definition of nervousness
Nervousness is a form of mild anxiety , manifesting as an "inner" state of arousal (emotional stress or irritability), and/or an "outer" state of arousal (restlessness and instability). This reaction can often be exacerbated by daily stress and persistent feelings of anxiety.
Causes of nervousness
Nervousness can be triggered by various factors such as relationship difficulties, lack of time or rest, work overload, temporary annoyance, emotional shock, lack of sleep, or even excessive consumption of stimulants. Managing the quantity and quality of these factors is crucial to maintaining emotional and physical balance.
A nervous breakdown can also be one of the symptoms of mental disorders or psychiatric illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, where stress and anxiety play a major role.
Symptoms of nervousness
People with nervous nervousness may experience:

These symptoms are often linked to increased stress and anxiety .
Fortunately, there are natural remedies to calm the nerves naturally, and thus regain mental and physical well-being, as well as a gentle serenity.
Natural remedies to calm the nerves

Consume foods rich in magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral essential for the proper functioning of the human body. By acting on the nervous system, it helps reduce stress, soothe nervous fatigue, and achieve serenity. Magnesium also contributes to the activation of melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone.
To ensure a sufficient quantity of magnesium in your diet, it is therefore strongly recommended to naturally consume, on a daily basis, natural and organic foods rich in this mineral such as:
- Dark chocolate (organic and rich in magnesium)
- Brazil nuts
- Almonds
- Whole grains
- Legumes
- Bananas
- Some mineral waters that contain a good amount of magnesium
Délicure offers magnesium bisglycinate capsules , the most easily assimilated magnesium for our body and which does not cause intestinal disorders.
Practice sports
In addition to toning and refining the figure, exercise is a natural sedative that helps relieve nervous tension and stress. By secreting hormones and neurotransmitters such as endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, exercise provides a feeling of well-being, promoting a state of relaxation and aiding in well-being.
Gentle physical activity of 30 minutes per day is therefore recommended to effectively combat nervousness, combat anxiety disorders, and restore physical and mental well-being. This can include walking, cycling, swimming, or yoga, which is known for its gentle practice and its ability to establish serenity of mind.
