What to do to eliminate stress?

Apart from heart disease, stress also increases the risk of many other dangerous health conditions. In such a situation, try these measures to manage your stress, so that the risk of diseases can be reduced and you remain healthy and fit for a long time-

Laughing is a must

Laughter is considered a medicine for health. It reduces stress hormones and reduces inflammation in arteries. To make yourself laugh and keep happy, you can watch funny TV shows, jokes, comedy films or funny animal videos, all these can help in reducing your stress.

Do meditation

Meditation is a powerful way to reduce stress and has been practiced since ancient times. Focusing inward and breathing deeply can reduce the risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure. Practices such as yoga, tai chi, mindfulness, and prayer also relax the mind and body.

remain active

Keeping yourself physically active has a positive effect not only on your physical fitness but also on your mental health. Every time you do any physical activity, whether it is walking or playing tennis, the brain releases chemicals that improve mood (endorphins). Even light exercise can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Also, regular exercise is beneficial for heart health.

Stay away from the digital world

When stress follows you everywhere, it becomes difficult to escape it. So 'disconnect' for a while i.e. distance yourself from email, TV news etc. Take some time every day, even if it is just 10 or 15 minutes, to distance yourself from the world.

Find ways to relax

Simple things like taking a relaxing bath, listening to music, spending time in nature, or indulging in a favorite hobby can help relieve stress in your life.
