Newport Beach Chiropractor: Make Your Stress Go On Vacation!

We all have stress. It's inevitable. But stress can be dangerous for your health- it can lead to hypertension, decreased strength of your immune system, and can even cause problems for your nervous system. As I mentioned in the last blog post, it's crucial for you to allow your body to enter into the "relaxation phase" which is a natural bodily reaction that follows the "fight-or-flight" response that occurs when we are in stressful situations. After a stressful day, it is very important that you take time to sit quietly and breathe, read or meditate. It's also important to remember to take vacations from your stress. This interesting article highlights why vacations are not a luxury, they're a necessity for your overall health.

Adding yoga or massage therapy into your health regime is also very helpful-and healthy!
