Stress Management for Better Health
Stress looks different for everyone. Not everyone will experience the same stress response to the same thing. There are external and internal reasons for someone to feel stressed. External stress could be caused by work or school-related responsibilities, life changes like moving or divorce, financial problems, and more. Internal stress could be caused by unrealistic expectations, pessimism, negative self-talk, and more. While some stress is good for you, it is important to understand what it does to your body and when you should seek help to manage your stress levels.
Winter Weather Health Hazards
A Canadian Winter normally spans from mid-December to mid-March, with January and February being the coldest months. The first day of Spring is March 20th, which is when the weather usually starts to warm up. Let’s hope for a short Winter! Until then, make sure you continue to stay safe. The snowy, icy, cold weather can cause or contribute to many health problems.
How is Your Sleep?
Sleep is directly connected with mental and physical health. It is a time when we strengthen neural connections to store important information and discard irrelevant information. Our muscles undergo repair during this time so they can grow and maintain their strength. Sleep also plays a huge role in the healthy regulation of hormone levels, emotions, and most other areas of our general health.
