In a tense, stressful situation, the muscles also tense up. If you do not start an active activity at this moment, the muscles will remain in a state of tension. Therefore, as soon as there is an event that makes you stressed or worried, you should immediately do some type of movement, a physical activity to release the tense muscles. If you cannot quickly deal with the stressful psychological cause (worrisome thoughts, an argument, other stressful situation), you can work with the body – move, exercise, perform stretching and muscle-relaxing exercises – this will surely help.

There are plenty of ways to move yourself: go for a walk, do some yoga, stretch the body and muscles to release the tension, go for a walk in the nature, do a small workout session even by the office desk. Physical activity is a powerful stress reliever. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Brisk walking, swimming, dancing, or cycling are all great options. Even short bursts of activity throughout the day can be beneficial.

Eating a balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to improve your mood and energy levels. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive caffeine, which can worsen stress symptoms. A healthy organism requires water – how much water do you drink a day? If only two or three glasses/cups a day, then you can’t expect to feel great, healthy and well-hydrated. Our cells, skin, the spine, the internal organs, muscles, ligaments and ultimately the brain need water very much and you should provide enough water to your body daily.

The food you choose has a profound impact on your energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.  Think of your body as a high-performance machine –  the fuel you put in directly affects how well it runs.  Remember, you don’t have to overhaul your diet overnight.  Start by making small, sustainable changes. As you incorporate healthy eating habits into your routine, you’ll notice a positive difference in your energy levels, focus, and overall well-being. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel when you fuel your body right.
