Rhiannon Lambert, nutritionist, said: “For some, work stress is the motivator to ensure things get done. However, for many people, work stress can easily become overwhelming and can damage health. Prolonged or consistent stress can lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, anxiety, and, in extreme cases, stress can lead to mental health issues.”
A survey by Mikei revealed 50 per cent of adults questioned stated that they sometimes feel run down, and drained of physical, mental and emotional energy.
Rhiannon added: “The current demands placed upon us are immense, you may not realise you are stressed until you are suddenly susceptible to a whole array of flu like symptoms, colds and general feelings of sickness and poor health.
“Taking Red Reishi for a consistent period of time will help improve your immune systems health and capabilities at dealing with the stress placed upon us.”

Detoxing can help the body rid itself of free radicals and heavy metals, often associated with aging and poor health. Part of the detoxing process is to increase nutrient absorption, particularly antioxidants and adaptogens, to help fight oxidative stress and counters the effects of any stress-coping hormones.
Kicking kale out of the competition and chopping past chia, the Japanese (who have the longest life expectancy in the world) have the perfect detox partner; the red reishi mushroom. This 2,000 year old health supplement, listed more recently as one of the best superfoods, can significantly benefit the detox process as it is an extremely effective antioxidant and adaptogen.
Patrick Holford comments:
"The three most reputable adaptogens are the ginseng family, reishi mushroom (also known as lingzhi in China) and rhodiola. In Asia, especially China and Japan, reishi has been revered for 5000 years. Chinese reishi mushroom (Ganodermum lucidum) is often used to modify or enhance the effects of other stress-fighting herbs. It also helps to lower insulin levels and adaptogenic herbs, such as ginseng, rhodiola and reishi, will support the natural production of energy and help balance stress hormones when you are under pressure or feeling burned out. Higher levels of B vitamins, plus amino acids.”
"Of all the adaptogenic herbs that help give stress resilience and an energy boost I like reishi and Ginseng the best."

-
Drink plenty of water
-
Cut down on alcohol and caffeinated drinks
-
Increase your intake of fruit, vegetables and wholegrains

Mushrooms are easy to overlook in the so-called rainbow diet we are advised to eat, but the nutritional benefits are extremely high.
In fact, research increasingly reveals why mushrooms have now joined the ranks of so-called superfoods such as blueberries and broccoli.
The tiny powerhouses have been proven to boost immunity, manage stress levels, lower cholesterol and even have anti-ageing benefits.
One celeb who has clocked on to their revitalising qualities is brunette beauty Kim Kardashian.
The reality TV star has been smearing on anti-ageing Japanese red reishi mushrooms to keep her skin looking taut, smooth and glowing.
And the 34-year-old says she “loves using Japanese mushroom facial peels reishi mushrooms for making her skin more elastic".
The Japanese have known about the health benefits of their little red mushrooms for centuries, but now the rest of the world has realised their strengths.
From London to Vancouver, Tokyo to New York, millions of health conscious consumers are discovering the benefits of the mushroom in the form of Red Reishi Essence.
These magic mushroom supplements, which help with numerous ailments, can be taken once a day in capsule form.
So what is red reishi?
Red reishi is the oldest herbal mushroom used in the Far East for over 2,000 years.
Once reserved only for emperors and royalty, the Japanese have now perfected the cultivation of this extremely rare mushroom – preparing it in an extremely effective way for consumers eager to improve their health and increase their life expectancy.
The result is Mikei Red Reishi Essence capsules, used worldwide for over 17 years and now available in the UK.

In 1976, they patented the most superior strain and perfected its cultivation method to meet with the Japan Reishi Association (JRA) standards.

Mikei Survey Finds 80% of Workers Believe: Work Stress is Having an Impact on Their Physical or Mental Wellbeing
March 2016: A recent survey conducted by Mikei Red Reishi Essence supplement brand has found a huge nine out of 10 workers (80%) in the UK, believe that work stress is having a direct physical and mental impact on their health and wellbeing. Furthermore, 30% of people obsessively worry everyday about their work performance, and over 50% sometimes feel their work activities and feelings about work interfere with their personal life.
Rhiannon Lambert, nutritionist, comments; “For some, work stress is the motivator to ensure things get done. However, for many people, work stress can easily become overwhelming and can damage health. Prolonged or consistent stress can lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, anxiety, and, in extreme cases, stress can lead to mental health issues”.
The survey also found 41% of people feel that there are not enough hours in the day to complete all their work on a daily basis. While 50% stated that they sometimes feel run down, and drained of physical, mental and emotional energy.
This study raises the question of whether workers are being offered the right help, advice and treatment on how to manage their stress, and alleviate the impact it might be having on their health and wellbeing.
One in 4 respondents (25%) stated they have become more frustrated, critical and cynical at work. Many people feel that within their work environment they are being treated poorly, there is a lack of support and motivation from management, and an increased workload.
Along with this, only 12% of workers are highly satisfied with their current job role. The study highlights the decline in job satisfaction, which can lead to stress, thus impacting on health and wellbeing.
Lambert states: “The current demands placed upon us are immense, you may not realise you are stressed until you are suddenly susceptible to a whole array of flu like symptoms, colds and general feelings of sickness and poor health. Taking Red Reishi for a consistent period of time will help improve your immune systems health and capabilities at dealing with the stress placed upon us”.
