Rather heard from your grandparents or your doctor, stress is truly a silent killer. Sometimes you can be stressing and not even realize it. Work, the household, relationships, and finances are all examples of contributions to stress. Stress can be responsible for many things such as headaches, high blood pressure, depression, obesity, and even premature death. However, on a good note, there are also many things that can minimize your stress level and improve your health naturally. Keep reading to find out several easy ways to release endorphins, which are natural painkillers released in the brain that can boost your mood, which means more happiness.
1) EXERCISE! This is my favorite one. Every time I exercise, aside from becoming drenched in sweat, my mood is elevated and I get a euphoric feeling. It helps with keeping your heart healthy and keeps your blood flowing.
2) Meditation. Doing simple breathing exercises, or advancing to Yoga or Pilates, taps into your self-awareness, keeps you alert, and keeps your brain relaxed.
3) Eating yummy dark chocolate. Research has shown that consuming healthy amounts of dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure and reduce cravings. It's also a great little treat!
4) Natural sunlight plays a part in releasing endorphins. You also get Vitamin D from the sun. When it is bright and sunny outside, you're more than likely to be in a better mood.
5) Keeping in touch with the world through socializing with friends and family, social networks, or through community activities, helps your brain stay active and sharp. Even listening to music can be a great stress buster!
So learn not to worry about things you have no control over!
-Stay Healthy. Stay Happy
