Dr. Imran ChowdhuryA little stress is a normal part of life, but when it continues for weeks it can cause headaches, poor sleep, high blood pressure and low mood. Small daily habits can help your body and mind recover.
Simple ways to reduce stress
- Take 5 minutes of slow, deep breathing a few times a day.
- Stay active – a short daily walk helps lower stress hormones.
- Keep a regular sleep routine.
- Talk to family or friends about what is worrying you.
- Limit news and social media time, especially before bed.
