Exercise Can Help Relieve Stress
Exercise may not be the most exciting word in your vocabulary, but it sure has a lot of benefits. Participating in daily exercise not only makes us healthier in general, it can diminish the effects of stress on our bodies as well.
How many times have you heard someone proclaim, "The doctor says it's stress." ? We occasionally laugh it off, concluding that's just what doctors say when they don't know the real answer or diagnosis. But the truth of the matter is that too much stress plays a role in many diseases.
To increase your immune system and decrease your stress levels, try some daily exercise. Movement is the key word here. Bend, stretch, reach, walk. And there's no need necessarily to buy expensive equipment. You can implement more movement into your daily routine and reap the benefits.
If you're keen on aerobic exercise, grab a partner and have a blast with one of the basic aerobic videos. Or simply go out for a walk and enjoy spending time together. You've heard it dozens of times –walking really is the best overall excise for your health. As long as you have a decent pair of walking shoes, you're in
business!
Also, as you're going throughout your daily activities, make it a point to walk a little further, bend down and pick something up instead of using some sort of pick up stick or knocking the item toward you with your foot. While you're sitting, do some simple stretches for your neck and shoulders.
If you enjoy watching television, buy a jogging board. These padded boards make running, jumping or walking in place less stressful on your knees and joints. They're easy to store and portable. In my opinion, jogging boards are the best piece of exercise equipment you can buy. And they're far cheaper than bulky treadmills and stationary bikes, too!
By making it a point to move more throughout the day, you boost your body's immunity and stay healthier in general. There's no reason to allow stressful situations to take a toll on your health.
