Stress Relief

In today's world with our economy and all, we all need to learn how to stress less. I am using these and starting to feel less tension in my shoulders and neck, these are my stress areas. Below are some helpful ways:

1. Listen to music. According to research, music help the brain produce more serotonin. Who knows, you may feel stressed-less enough to dance and enjoy :-)

2. Exercise. This is a double dose-Not only will the 30mins every other day (daily is better) relieve stress, it will also help shed some of those pounds.

3. Soaking in Epson salt. This is one of those old grandma remedies, but works wonders. The salt absorbs into the skin to increase magnesium and sulfates within the body. This helps to reduce stress, flush toxins, and improve circulation (love it!).

4. Meditate. For 1-3 mins close your eyes and take several deep breaths.

5. Eat foods rich in vitamin B6. B6 increases the brain's serotonin. Bananas and tuna are a couple foods that are rich B6, among others.
