Home Health : Stress Relief
Stress seems to be just another part of life these days. With longer work days, involvement in more and more activities and greater demands on time, stress is the reason for many visits to doctor’s offices. Some estimates say stress-related problems are the reason for 75 – 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians. According to the American Institute of Stress, job stress is by far the leading source of stress in adults. Stress can affect different aspects of health including gastrointestinal, skin and mental health, just to name a few. The key to reducing stress is to prevent it. It may sound simple, but finding stress-relievers like exercise, massage therapy or even volunteer work can help reduce anxiety and stress. It’s also important to maintain a proper diet, get enough sleep and avoid caffeine and other stimulants. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625.2000 or visit stj.com.
