| A good stress reliever |
Stress
is a prime source of health-related problems. It causes high blood pressure,
poor eating and sleeping habits, and heart trouble. The Health Briefs TV show
looks at what stresses Americans.
American
Psychological Association reported results from a recent survey that money is
the root of most stress symptoms. Even
as the economy is improving, Americans worry about their finances. Inflation and wage stagnation are the
culprits. The cost of most basic every day needs continues to rise but pay is
not budging a cent. This leads people to work longer hours or take on another
job to make ends meet. Family issues are
another cause of stress. Whether people are worried about elderly parents,
children, and grandchildren, it causes undue stress on the body.
Fortunately,
there are ways to work through stress which are healthy. Take some alone time.
Go for a short walk. Listen to music. Avoid drinking alcohol or eating
something unhealthy. Get a little exercise.
Find someone trusted to talk to about money or family problems. Health Briefs TV believes lack of quality sleep and wallowing in misery about the
issues causing stress can only lead to more stress. Engage in a quiet online
game like solitaire. Avoid games which are excessively violent. Also, avoid spending too much time
alone. Call a friend or go visit one.
Humans are social creatures and we’re not wired to go it alone. Need more money to bring home? Search online
for creative ways to earn extra income. Or post a sign in the neighborhood
offering pet sitting services. Just
walking a dog for 20 minutes can not only reduce stress, but bring joy, peace
and a little extra cash into your life.
