Stress Management We all know that stress can alter our health and well-being. Did you know that stress causes immune systems to be less tolerant against antigens? It also increases your heart rate and causes high blood pressure over time. What can be done to manage stress better? Some of the things you can do are practice mindful breathing, exercise more often, dedicate a bit more time to yourself, make sure your diet is balanced, etc! Make it a point this year to manage stress better! Super Foods Superfoods are low in sodium, fat, and processed sugars. It’s important for our bodies to receive proper nutrition and to do that we have to consume a variety of superfoods that are nutrient-dense with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, Omegas, etc! There is so much information on the internet regarding superfoods but here are a few: Green Tea – High in Antioxidants. Research shows that it lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. Quinoa – High in Protein and nutrient dense. Broccoli – Packed with Vitamins A, C, Folic Acid, and the cancer-fighting agent, Sulforaphane! Cleanliness Washing your hands often, especially before eating or touching your face, will increase your immunity against the flu, colds, and other viruses! Don’t forget to wash handles, doorknobs, your smartphone, office phone, and other common areas that get touched often!
