Ready For A Stress Free Holiday?

Tis the season to be Jolly! Unfortunately many of us get overly stressed during the holiday season; so much so that it can lead to poor health even to the point of hospital visits.

Stress comes in many forms like chemical stress from toxins we consume in our food or our environment. There is also physical stress like chronic pains from poor posture and spinal alignment. Then there is mental and emotional stress from work, family or financial issues.

Stress has been linked to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, increased blood sugar, ulcers, and mood disorders just to name a few. Stress effects ever part of our body.

During the holidays stressors increase exponentially. So this season let’s make a plan to practice self-care, remove or reduce our stressors and give ourselves the gift of health!
