generation. Simply speaking, if you don’t work, you don’t eat – and that’s the
truth. But despite our needs for basic commodities, too much work would often
lead to stress that will affect us physically, mentally and emotionally; an
imbalance that will render us incapable of making decision and will lessen our
productivity whether to our career or social life.

There are plenty of techniques that will help us cope with
stress. Some goes to their respective doctors and asks for medicines that gives
temporary relief to their anxiety or regulate blood pressure. Some would resort to meditation and
relaxation techniques to keep their mind in harmony using aromatherapy or music
therapy to help them along.

physical exercise. Sweating it out with by doing something strenuous proves to
be more beneficial than taking in drugs or vitamins that might have some side
effects on your system.

that physical exercise is considered as the best stress reliever during this
time and age. Aside from changing your focus from your problems to something
productive, physical exercise will help your body function at peak efficiency.

this will improve your cardiovascular functions and greatly strengthens your
heart – this will practically free you from possible effects of stress like
heart failure, stroke, high-blood pressure, and so on.
When your heart is attuned to the exercise regime, blood
circulation will also improve which in turn increases oxygen throughout the
body. Your cholesterol level and other harmful bio-chemicals will be reduced
and will lessen the chance of your body breaking down due to the negative
effect of these substances.
