Ease Your Mind and Improve Your Health with Five Simple Steps

Headache? Anxiety? Restlessness? All of these symptoms could be the result of stress on your body1.  Stress is our natural reaction to life experiences2, and many people react to it differently. While we are likely to experience some stress in our lifetime, large amounts have been known to cause serious health problems and even exacerbate existing health conditions3. While there is no magical formula to eliminate stress indefinitely, there are a few simple steps you can take to help manage its effect on your body and well-being:

1. Reduce Free Radical Damage: Stress produces harmful free radicals that can have damaging internal effects on the body and on the outside, negatively impact skin’s appearance. Start each day with Heliocare® Daily Use Antioxidant Formula, a clinically proven, dermatologist-recommended for 20+ years, natural dietary supplement. It contains Fernblock® PLE Technology, a powerful antioxidant formula that promotes younger-looking, more resilient skin by helping to maintain the skin’s ability to protect against free radicals*.  The improved Heliocare® capsules are now vegan and free of gluten and artificial dyes.
2. Exercise Frequently and Exercise Caution When Doing So: Exercising naturally produces chemicals in the brain known as “endorphins” that are proven to improve mood and reduce stress4. And while some people may find cardio to be stress-releasing, it’s important to know that during exercise, your metabolic rate rises which increases the delivery of oxygen to cells, ultimately increasing the production of free radicals5. Fortunately, you don’t have to forgo your fitness goals. You can help neutralize free radicals by introducing antioxidants into your daily routine and incorporating soothing forms of exercise like yoga and tai chi, which are great ways to help clear the mind1.
3. Pamper Yourself: Booking a day at the spa for a manicure, pedicure, massage or facial will help put your mind to rest and relieve pent-up stress and tension in your body.
4. Spend Quality Alone Time: Whether at the spa or simply at home, a healthy amount of alone time allows you to relax and become more connected with your mind and body. Try setting aside at least 30 minutes a day to do something you enjoy such as reading a book, listening to music or cooking your favorite meal.
5. Visit with Family & Friends: And while alone time is crucial, be sure to surround yourself with loved ones when you have something heavy weighing on your mind, as it is one of the best ways to ease your worries1. Whether its advice or laughter you need, spending time with these people will help you to feel better.

Learning to manage stress may be a process of trial-and-error, but making these small, positive changes to your daily routine may give you the tools you need to ultimately lead a healthier, happier life!
