lifestyle stress

Posted on April 14, 2008 by dc

Do you know that some behaviors and lifestyle choices do a play a part in affecting our stress levels. They may not cause you to feel stressed out directly, but they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. So if possible, try to:

• Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations.

• Get enough sleep, since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping.

• Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress.

• Get moderate exercise throughout the week.

• Limit your consumption of alcohol.
