Take advantage of life's moments...

 

It is practically impossible to run away or leave our responsibilities, even if some of them produce anxiety, worry or pressure. What can be done is reduce our stress, so with information from the Huffington Post we offer you 6 scientific tips to achieve it.

 

1. Eat a snack. Stress eating doesn't have to be bad. The connection between the gut and the brain is enormous. For Drew Ramsey , clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, diet influences happiness. Choose a healthy snack like nuts.

 

2. Buy yourself a plant. Researchers have found that simply being surrounded by plants can induce a relaxation response. A Washington State University study found that a group of stressed people who walked into a room filled with plants had a four-point drop in their blood pressure.

 

3. Try a few kisses. These relieve stress by helping the brain release endorphins. And that has real-life consequences: A Northwestern University study found that those who don't kiss during sex are eight times more likely to feel chronically stressed or depressed.

 

4. Watch the fashion video. A good laugh is the best relaxation technique there is. Laughter increases the consumption of oxygen-rich air, stimulates the heart, lungs and muscles, and increases endorphins that are released by the brain, explains the Mayo Clinic . There is no better way to achieve this than through a comedy video.

 

5. Visit a good friend. Not only are they fun, they can also lower your cortisol levels.

 

6. Banana. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure, which increases during times of stress. Some people find that eating a banana when feeling stressed can help improve energy and recovery. And research shows that it can protect your body from the negative effects of stress, such as increased risk of heart attack.

 

By reducing stress you have the possibility to make better choices and risk having more fun. So what are you waiting for to free yourself!
