Manage Stress with These Tips
As the school year begins, vacations come to a close, and projects at work begin to pile up, your stress levels may be at an all-time high. This is bad news for your health: cortisol, or the stress hormone, can lead to unhealthy weight gain, susceptibility to illness, and emotional problems.
Don’t let your stress get out of control. Follow these tips for a healthy way to help manage your stress.
- Live a healthy lifestyle. Exercising and eating nutritious foods can boost your mood and help to protect against illness.
- Get a massage. The medical benefits of massage therapy are numerous, and even an hour-long massage will promote relaxation.
- Simplify your life. Feeling overwhelmed is often the result of having too many things to worry about, so don’t be afraid to say “no” every now and then.
If you’re experiencing excessive stress, contact Austin Active Life to schedule an appointment for a relaxing massage or to discuss dietary changes.
