Health tips for reliving stress this school year
September is coming to an end, which means midterms are around the corner. Many of us are staying up later, possibly taking advantage of the 24-hour access to the first floor of the library. However, the late night study sessions are taking away from our sleep time; keeping us awake in our room, and messing with our sleep patterns. If you are an athlete, things get a bit more stressful with morning practices and upcoming games. With our stress increasing and relax time decreasing, our health is in jeopardy.
Here are just a few health tips that can benefit you in the long run:
· Drinkat least 8 glasses of water a day. Water keeps the body hydrated, refreshed, and helps to flush toxins out of the body.
· Ease upon the sugary drinks, and coffee. This makes you more tired than energized during the day, causing a craving for more sugar and caffeine.
· Stretchat least 5 minutes a day to help reduce stress, improve flexibility, and increase blood flow in the body.
· Are you an insomniac? Turn off all the lights, and electronics (to avoid temptation). This will tell your body it's time for bed, and will help you stay asleep longer.
· Try your best to get the recommended 8 hours of sleep each night. This way you are more energized in the morning, not needing the caffeine, and sugar to keep you awake.
· Always remember to never skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal. It aids in keeping your brain, and body, functioning throughout the day.
A happy body is a healthy body!
