10 ways to beat stress

10 ways to beat stress

As we are talking about Health in class at the moment I was thinking about a good topic to blog about. As every student has their own health related problems I found one thing that every person has to struggle with now and then –stress!

Now I will explain you 5 good ways to reduce stress in your life [if there is any ;)  ]

Too much work, and too less time for sleep: In the long run physical and mental stress can be very unhealthy. A person, who is permanently stressed, has problems like: headaches, dizziness, anxiety and difficulties in concentration.

To avoid such consequences it is important to fight against stress sufficiently early.

Now I will disclose you the best 5 anti-stress-tips:

·       -  Pedometer for more movement!

Sport is the best way to work off stress and to cater for welfare. Recommendable are sports like Jogging, swimming or rowing. Someone who needs a particular motivation can try to use a pedometer. This device counts every step that the person takes. ( 5.000 steps per day are enough to feel better)

·      -   Time for yourself!

A person who is permanently stressed takes no time for him/herself. It´s about time to change something. Think about the last few weeks and find out what you really neglected. It doesn´t matter if you just wanted to read a book or if you wanted to do something more exciting like a balloon flight. Take time for yourself and try to switch of your sense of duty- at least for a moment!

·      -   Waive on Smartphones & Co.

Modern devices can actually make life easier for some people but often it causes stress. The problem: You can be permanently contacted by phone! If you are stressed, switch off your phone for the next 24 hours and feel the difference. If that situation is too extreme, just switch it off for the next few hours.

·     -    Laughing is healthy!

Laughing is one of the best methods to reduce stress. It helps to liberate happiness hormones such as Serotonin.

·     -    Enough sleep!

If someone is stressed, people don´t have enough sleep or at least the sleeping quality is poor.  A sleep deficit leads to the release from the stress hormone Cortisol. If your body has enough sleep, you will feel good.
