Deadlines. Kids’ sport. Bills. That group chat you still haven’t replied to. Stress is part of life,  but here’s what most people don’t realise: it doesn’t just mess with your mood, it actually messes with your nutrient levels too.

Let’s unpack how stress literally drains your body and what you can do to refill the tank.

What Stress Does to Your Body

When you’re stressed, your body kicks into “fight or flight” mode. Your heart rate spikes, your brain is on high alert, and your system starts burning through key nutrients faster than usual.

Some of the first ones to take a hit:

• Magnesium: Stress makes you use more of it, which can leave you twitchy, crampy, or unable to sleep.
• Vitamin C: Your adrenal glands (the ones that pump out cortisol) use up vitamin C like crazy.
• B-Vitamins: These are your energy-makers. Under stress, they get used up fast, leaving you tired, foggy, and snappy.
• Zinc: Stress can deplete zinc, which weakens your immune system right when you need it most.

The Stress–Nutrient Loop

Here’s the kicker: when your nutrients are low, stress feels worse. Low magnesium makes you more anxious, low B-vitamins make you more tired, and low vitamin C makes you more likely to get sick. It’s a vicious cycle.

How to Refill Your Nutrient Tank

The best way to keep your levels topped up is consistency. That’s where Good Day comes in:

• Magnesium to support calm and better sleep
• Vitamin C + Zinc to keep your immune system strong
• Six B-Vitamins to keep energy steady and brain fog at bay

Just one sachet every morning helps your body handle the stress load so you can focus on getting through your to-do list without crashing.

Other Ways to Help Your Body Handle Stress

• Drink enough water (bonus points if you add Day Lytes)
• Get outside for a walk or sunlight
• Eat enough protein and whole foods
• Sleep like it’s your job

Conclusion

You can’t always ditch the stress, but you can give your body what it needs to deal with it better.

Start your day with Good Day and make sure stress isn’t draining your energy, immunity, or recovery.
