Get Plenty of Rest

Most adults need at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night, though many function at their highest potential with closer to 9 hours of sleep. After years of observing the way your body functions on certain amounts of sleep, you should know the number of hours you personally need to aim for. The bottom line is that whatever you are staying up for at night isn’t worth the loss of sleep.

Maintain a Healthy, Balanced Diet

Reducing sugar, caffeine, and alcohol will make a huge difference in your attitude and stress level. Each of these is full of chemicals that change your energy level and perception, throwing your body out of balance every time you consume them. Adopt a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of B vitamins to help with stress reduction.

Develop an Exercise Routine

Simply walking for 20 minutes every day will alter your brain chemistry to help you relax and reduce your stress. Aerobic exercise is even better for reducing stress because it releases endorphins into your bloodstream. A natural “runner’s high” is achieved from aerobics that you will feel for hours after your workout is over.

Get a Massage

Some personal pampering is the perfect way to reduce your stress level. Massage therapy is known to reduce levels of cortisol that make you feel stressed while raising soothing hormones like serotonin and dopamine. Even self-massage before you go to sleep can help your body relax and get the good night’s sleep you need to function well the next day.

These simple tips can make a profound difference in your goal to reduce stress. They will also improve your overall health and wellness. If you want more stress reduction tips to help you in your specific life situation, explore the insights offered by your local CareNow provider.
