STRESS, it’s such an ugly word and an even worse feeling!
Many of us deal with it on a day-to-day basis and yet we don’t really know what
it is. Stress is a feeling of anguish, anxiety, incompetence and worries. There
are many causes for stress yet the one thing it affects the most is your
health, both your physical and mental well-being. When one is stressed your
immune system isn't as strong as it should be you are more susceptible to germs
and virus, which cause your body to become sick. Once you become sick it
becomes it a lot harder to concentrate on what needs to be done because our
body is trying to focus more on making itself better and all its energy is
going towards the illness.
A great way to deal with stress would be by working out
even if it’s just for 20 minutes a day of cardio. By working out, your body
releases endorphin. Endorphin are
hormones that make your body feel better, are a natural source of pain
relievers, and they make you happy because your state of mind changes.
Having a well balanced diet also helps with reducing your
stress levels. There are many different kinds of foods that help with this and
they range from light snacks such as nuts to hearty meals such as turkey! These foods are high in certain vitamins and
minerals that are proven to stimulate blood flow that in turn can help reduce
your feelings of stress. A great article that describes these super foods is by
Marie Claire; it gives great tips on how these foods help you and how they can
be eaten. There are also 50 great and simple ways to ease, reduce, or get rid
of your stress they may sound silly but they are as simple as hugging someone
or brushing your hair.
Reducing your stress will not only make you feel better
about yourself but it will allow you to do better on whatever tasks you have at
hand!
