STRESS LESS THIS SEASON
STRESS CAN CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS IN OUR LIVES. ALTHOUGH A LITTLE STRESS IS ACTUALLY
GOOD FOR US (IT KEEPS US ALERT AND READY TO MAKE A DECISION WHEN WE NEED TO),
ONGOING, CHRONIC STRESS CAN LEAD TO HEART PROBLEMS, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES,
OBESITY, TYPE II DIABETES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AMONGST MANY OTHER NASTY
CONDITIONS. BY REDUCING OUR STRESS LEVELS, WE CAN REDUCE OUR CHANCES OF
BECOMING UNWELL, AND MAKE OUR LIVES AND OURSELVES MUCH HAPPIER IN THE
PROCESS. IF YOU’RE FEELING TOTALLY STRESSED OUT, THESE IDEAS SHOULD HELP YOU
TO COMBAT YOUR STRESS AND PUT YOUR LIFE BACK ON TRACK.
