Stress Kills

Many of us maintain good diets and exercise regularly throughout our lives. This has allowed some of us to remain sharp and seem like nothing can bring us down. This is linked to cultivating good habits and remaining active.

?However, there are some who are not as fortunate. They did not cultivate good habits or remain active. They led sedentary lifestyles that ultimately made them less able to take care of themselves and now they have to rely on the goodwill of others. They have gone from independent to dependent and some of them are even at the point where their awareness of their surroundings is lost.

?Now, not all diseases related to age are preventable. However, much of the risk can be eliminated by taking care of ourselves. We have to make sure our bodies are getting proper nutrition. We have to work our bodies so that they don’t end up failing us when we need them the most. The phrase “use it or lose it” has never been more important.

?Use your body and make sure that you are doing whatever is possible to maintain its health and wellbeing. This isn’t only important for your future, but for your present as well. Stress can be a huge factor in many untimely deaths. To take care of yourself physically and emotionally means to take accountability for the needs of your body. Nobody else will. This is fully your responsibility.

?And while that may seem stressful, the good news is that if you do it, your body will reward you with a better mood. Exercise releases endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, all the happy and feel-good chemicals that your body needs to stay balanced in the world when things seem like they are going to fall apart.

?It has been said that exercise is one of the most powerful anti-depressants there is. There is no need to get hooked on medications that can have awful side effects when you are able to easily get those good chemicals working in your body without any repercussions. Just be sure to be aware of your body and its limitations and you will always benefit from exercise!
