At the moment, life offers a huge number of opportunities, but also poses a serious problem - stress. This, in turn, increases the risks of chronic diseases and contributes to the formation of unhealthy habits. 

Negative effects of stress

To survive in difficult situations, the body reacts accordingly. When you feel threatened, stress hormones are released, muscles tense, blood pressure rises, the heart beats faster. When the danger is missed, the body returns to normal.                

However, if such situations are too frequent, the stress response can become permanent and cause harm to health - increasing the risk of chronic inflammation, heart disease, dementia, stroke and other health problems. 

How to relieve stress? 

The best way to cope with stress is to get a good night's sleep, eat healthy, exercise regularly, meditate and socialize. All this helps to adapt to challenging situations. A great helper is also a massage, which allows the body to return to a state of relaxation. 

Sleep 

A full sleep helps to restore the balance of mind and body. During sleep, emotions are processed, energy reserves are restored, the balance of hormones is normalized. 

Nutrition 

Food provides the body with energy, vitamins and minerals that help fight stress and reduce its bad effects on the body and immune system. During periods of stress, it is especially important to take in enough nutrients. 

Physical activity 

One of the best drugs against stress is physical activity. During physical activity, the hormone of happiness, endorphin, is intensively released in the brain, which creates a feeling of elation, joy and happiness, helping the body to relax and improve mood.
