]]> As we grow up, life gets more stressful, and taking care of our health gets more difficult. One very important aspect of good health is quality sleep, but that can be hard to accomplish after a long and stressful day. If you ever have trouble calming down after a tough day, here are some tips to help you out so that you can get a full and restful night’s sleep.

Meditation

Meditation has been found to help lower anxiety levels, even just by meditating for a few minutes a day. You can start with only 5 minutes a day, and work your way up to more time. It’s helpful to look up guided meditations or tips online. Meditating after your day is over can help you refocus on yourself and away from the worries you can’t attend to in the moment.

Exercise

A bit of intense exercise can release endorphins, which give you a “high” and help wash away those bad brain chemicals. Exercise can help you blow off steam and let out some of that stress. Don’t do this directly before bed, because it will give you more energy, but it is a great way to wear out your body a couple of hours before bed so that you’ll fall asleep faster. 

Aromatherapy

Various aromas can give your body different sensations, and certain aromas are known to calm people down. If you enjoy things like scented candles, lighting one with a calming scent or using an essential oil air freshener can help turn your home into a comforting space.

]]> Sweating is a natural bodily function that usually kicks in during intense workouts or whenever we’re in a particularly warm environment. While it’s true that its main function is to regulate body temperature, there are several other physiological benefits to sweating that aren’t quite as well-known. Whether you’re already a pro at working up a sweat or are in need of motivation to get your sweat on, read on to learn more about some benefits of sweating that go beyond thermoregulation.

Detoxification & better skin

When we sweat, our glands excrete waste products such as heavy metals, alcohol, and harmful chemicals absorbed from the environment. This process can help to unclog pores and leave your skin with a healthy glow, thanks to the natural moisturizing properties of certain chemical compounds found in sweat. 

Immune system support

Skin may not be the first organ to come to mind when thinking of the immune system, but it actually plays an essential role in the body’s natural immune response. Sweating triggers the production of a natural antibiotic called dermcidin, which, when excreted to the skin’s surface, acts as a first line of defense against infections.

Stress reduction

Engaging in physical activities that induce sweating triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones. These endorphins alleviate stress, improve mood, and promote relaxation in the short-term and can lead to better sleep quality and increased resilience to stressors in general.

]]> Stress is a normal part of life, and it’s something we all experience from time to time. However, it’s important to recognize that stress can have a significant impact on our physical health. In fact, chronic stress can lead to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, obesity, and high blood pressure.

One of the most surprising ways that stress affects our physical health is by causing inflammation in the body. When we experience stress, our bodies release stress hormones like cortisol, which can trigger an inflammatory response. Over time, this inflammation can lead to a variety of health problems, including arthritis, diabetes, and even cancer.

To combat the negative effects of stress on our physical health, it’s important to take steps to reduce our stress levels. One effective way to do this is through exercise. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress hormones and promote the release of endorphins, which can help us feel better both physically and mentally by allowing the release of stored stress from the body.

Another way to combat stress is through mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga. These practices can help us become more aware of our thoughts and emotions and can help us develop a greater sense of calm and balance in our lives.

]]> Working out is generally considered a fun and relaxing activity, but some people find it extremely stressful and anxiety-inducing. If you happen to be one of them, here’s a couple of useful tips that will help you change your mindset.

Right Goals

If you’re putting too much pressure on yourself to reach unrealistic and unachievable goals, it’s no wonder you’re not enjoying your workout. The whole point of having a regular fitness routine is by staying active and healthy, and this goal is more important than all others.

Find Something Fun

Your workouts will be a constant cause of anxiety if you’re not enjoying them. If you’re dreading each gym season and don’t find any satisfaction in them, it’s probably time to switch up your fitness routine and start searching for an activity that you actually enjoy.

Notice the Signals

The nature of your workout isn’t always the thing that’s stressing you out. Try to pay closer attention to your mood swings, and recognize the cause of your constant anxiety. It may be an injury you sustained, something or someone at the gym you find annoying, or other external factors that have nothing to do with your workout.

During periods of anxiety and stress, reaching for healthy foods rather than comforting junk food can improve your mood and help reduce stress levels. Here are five foods that have been shown to reduce susceptibility to stress.

Blueberries

Blueberries are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C and they’re good for the immune system and combating stress.

Green Leafy Vegetables

Green leafy vegetables like spinach that you might find in a salad contain plenty of folic acids. This B vitamin is needed to produce dopamine, which is the hormone that can relieve the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains high fiber, which is good for the digestive system and can help your body to feel healthy and relaxed. It’s also a slow-release food that will give you steady energy throughout the day rather than causing your blood sugar levels to spike and then drop significantly which can have a big effect on your mood.

Walnuts

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower the risk of depression. They also contain amino acids that help help your body secrete the feel-good hormone serotonin.

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa) contains phytochemicals that reduce the presence of stress hormones in your blood.

]]> Almost everyone suffers some symptoms of stress each day. Stress is a leading cause of heart problems, poor mental health, and it’s harmful to all-round physical wellbeing. There are a number of ways that you can combat your stress levels. But one of the simplest, easiest, and least time-consuming methods for reducing stress is stretching. Let’s take a look at the changes you can expect from implementing daily stretching exercises.

Relaxes the Muscles

A lot of us carry our stress around in our muscles. A combination of sedentary lifestyles and stressful living environments makes our muscles stiff and tense. This physical state of our body increases the levels of stress that we feel. We carry most of our stress in our shoulders, neck, and lower back. If you stretch these areas daily, your mind will start relaxing as your body relaxes.

Improves Blood Circulation

Stress increases the risk of heart failure due to poor blood circulation and constricted blood vessels. Stretching not only improves circulation, but it also enhances the quality of the blood. Regular stretching and movement get the blood moving properly, and improved breathing makes the blood richer in oxygen.

Boosts Endorphins

With better blood flow, more oxygen, and relaxed muscles, the brain releases larger quantities of endorphins. Endorphins are hormones that make you feel happy, relaxed, and stress-free.
