Did You Know?
April is National Stress Awareness Month:
- Are you always running late? Sit down and make a schedule for yourself. This will lessen the stress of your mornings.
- If you can’t remove the stress, remove yourself. Slip away once in awhile for private time and to relax.
- Remember, sometimes it’s okay to do nothing! Relax!
- Stress has been called “the silent killer” and can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pain, and an irregular heartbeat.
- Having a stressful day? Laugh! Laughing lowers stress hormones and strengthens the immune system by releasing health-enhancing hormones.
- 75% of the general population experiences at least "some stress" every two weeks.
- Stress in society is so prevalent that the U.S. Public Health Service has made reducing stress one of its major health promotion goals.
