Did you know that… have a daily relaxation practice can improve your mental and physical health.
In an earlier Blog I outlined a list on how to…
“Follow a low-stress lifestyle”
A low-stress lifestyle can be achieved by following some simple advice:-
1 Include a low-stress diet into your life
2 Avoid high-stress foods, drinks and activities
3 Exercise daily
4 Relax every day
5 Rest and sleep effectively
6 Educate yourself and your family
7 Clean up your home environment from toxic chemicals and potential allergens.
Today, I will elaborate a little on point 5 – Rest!
According to many research articles that I have read over the years…
Relaxation practices have many health benefits. They are good for you as they:
slow down your heart rate…
slow down your breathing rate…
reduce your blood pressure…
reduce muscle tension…
reduce anger…
reduce frustration…
improve concentration…
and improve your immune system.
So choose… decide whether you want to incorporate a relaxation technique into your daily life or not!
The choice is always yours!
What sort of role model do you want to be for your family, friends and children?
Sometimes it’s not what you say to children, but what you do!
