Take Care of Your Overall Health & Wellbeing Our lives are full of modern comforts and convenience that far outpace those of the past. We have the news at our fingertips, technology that keeps us connected and busy lifestyles to manage. With so much information at our disposal, it can also create a prime breeding ground for stress, anxiety and depression. The American Institute of Stress reveals that 77 percent of U.S. citizens regularly experience the physical effects of stress. We can reasonably expect an increase in that number as we navigate the current pandemic.

In order to live long and prosper, it’s important to take care of your mental, physical and social health even through difficult periods. Our bodies take on the toll of increased stress in surprising ways that can affect all facets of life. Most commonly, the physical effects of stress reveal themselves through headaches, insomnia, muscle tension, fatigue and high blood pressure. In turn, these symptoms can affect your mood and behavior in a negative way, creating a stress cycle that can be difficult to break.

Here are some ways of relieving stress and taking care of yourself both physically and mentally.

Get PhysicalAmong health professionals, exercise is one of the top recommendations for battling the effects of stress & anxiety. It may seem counterintuitive to get up and move when you least feel like doing so, but getting in some low-impact exercise like taking a walk can make a huge difference. Studies have shown that simple exercises can alleviate tension, elevate the mood and reduce fatigue. Physical activity produces endorphins, which are chemicals that react as natural painkillers. The release of endorphins via exercise helps improve sleeping ability too, giving you a better opportunity for a good night’s rest.

Practice Meditation Meditation is a simple practice that doesn’t require any equipment or special skill. Spending even just a few minutes per day in a meditative state can help clear your mind of cluttered thoughts that often lead to increased stress levels.

Find a quiet space in a comfortable position to focus your attention on one thing, be it an object, mantra or your breathing pattern. Take deep breaths and imagine releasing a bit more stress with each exhale. With time and practice, meditation will become easy or even habitual no matter where you are.

A.J.’s Brain Power (DBP01)Brings you the power of ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo comes from the ancient ginkgo biloba tree.

Ginkgo has been shown to possibly help improve brain function and memory, slow aging, augment energy, balance depression, improve visual acuity, enhance faster healing, promote youthful skin and enhance circulation. Ginkgo is effective by possibly supporting capillary integrity and circulation, which would help each cell to receive the nutrients needed.*

leaf extract that contains 24 percent ginkgo heteroside, the highest active level available. It is in a base of the rejuvenating herbs, gotu kola, schizandra and ginger.*

Be Mindful Being mindful is to be present in the moment and accept things for what they are. It creates inner strength and the ability to become more aware of your thoughts and emotions. When stress levels rise, mindfulness prevents negative, reactionary impulse responses to difficult situations. That itself will go a long way toward reducing stress and anxiety. Look for the silver lining in any situation and focus on the positives, however small. Before long you’ll find yourself doing so without thought.

Massage Out Tension One of the best ways to release pent-up tension and stress is through massage therapy. While traditionally viewed as an indulgent practice, studies have shown it to be an effective form of stress relief and muscle relaxation. The effects of a massage are so beneficial that today it is commonly found in clinics, hospitals, businesses and even airports. There are varying forms of massage therapy, so do some checking to find the best option for you.

Spend Time Doing What You Love When the going gets tough, make room for a favorite pastime. Some ideas include art, reading, dancing, singing, knitting, getting outdoors or anything else that brings you joy. Surround yourself with family & friends outdoors on a sunny day. The combination of being amongst your people while soaking up the rays (and bonus Vitamin D) can have profound effects on your inner peace and overall wellbeing.

Find the Funny As the old saying goes, laughter is the best medicine. Keeping a sense of humor about life’s ups and downs can help alleviate the stress of it all. When you can’t muster up a laugh on your own, watch a comedy or call up your funniest friend. According to the Mayo Clinic, laughter doesn’t just improve your mental headspace, it has actual physical effects: it enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air while stimulating your heart, lungs and muscles. A good laugh sooths tension by stimulating circulation and muscle relaxation, in turn reducing the physical symptoms of stress.

Nourish Your Temple What you put in your body has a big impact on how you feel. Stress can create loss of appetite for some, while food becomes an unhealthy coping mechanism for others. An unhealthy diet can weaken the immune system, drain energy and wreak havoc on moods and emotions. Starting each morning with a healthy breakfast is imperative to function effectively throughout the rest of the day. Oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit and whole-wheat toast are great options to fuel what’s ahead.

Beyond breakfast, it’s important to feed your body healthy snacks and meals. Avoid alcohol, sugars, fats, excessive caffeine and convenience foods wherever possible. Leafy greens, fruits, vegetables and healthy carbs will keep you nourished throughout the day and allow you to focus on the tasks at hand. Adding a supplement to your routine can also help improve your overall health by ensuring you get the necessary nutrients your body needs.
