Reduce Christmas Stress with Physical Activity
Silent night, holy night?! Unfortunately, Christmas for many people is neither peaceful nor quiet. Stress is often the dominating factor during the whole period. Especially the time before Christmas Eve, as we try to balance buying presents, planning the family party and keeping up with problems both at work and at home, can be a vast strain for body and soul. But with good time management and the willingness to be active, everybody can prevent stress and maintain normal blood pressure, even during the hectic Christmas season.
(firmenpresse) - Planning and physical activity
Those who tend to lose track of all the things that need to be done before Christmas should write a to-do list. Even if the time pressure is relatively high, such a list helps to organise the last days and weeks before Christmas. That way, the feeling of being overwhelmed disappears bit by bit with every task that can be crossed off the list.
In addition to a to-do list, it helps to prepare a rough time schedule, in which stressed souls record when they want to do which task. But not only tasks find their way into the list; in order to reduce stress, it is necessary to pencil in some time to relax as well. That also includes physical exercise as compensation for the hectic daily life. For that purpose, endurance sports, such as jogging and Nordic walking, or even just a relaxing winter walk, are perfect to be able to cope better with stress. Integrating continuous activity into daily life is not only good for personal health; it also contributes to the reduction of the stress hormones adrenalin and cortisol. Moreover, the body releases endorphins during physical exercise. These “happy hormones“ increase personal well-being and provide mental relaxation. Thus, stressed people are calmer, more relaxed and have more energy for completing Christmas tasks.
Lower blood pressure with sports
Besides the psychological exertions of stress, there are also significant bodily consequences, such as high blood pressure. Sport has a “healing” effect in that matter, too. Whether jogging or walking – regular physical exercise helps to bring blood pressure down. As a result, active people are able to react more calmly in stressful situations.
Despite the fact that high blood pressure is a widespread affliction among people, few are actually aware of the condition of their individual blood pressure. In order to measure the numbers, it is not necessary to consult a doctor. With the innovative quality products from Omron Healthcare, everybody can easily control their blood pressure at home on a regular basis. Thanks to their compact format, the easily readable display and measurement accuracy, the different clinically-validated blood pressure monitors not only measure the user’s values reliably and exactly, but also provide comfort and easy handling. The wrist devices are especially perfect for active people who consider regular blood pressure monitoring an important part of personal health care. Thereby, users are not only informed about the status of their blood pressure, but are also able to see the effect of sport on their numbers – an important help, also during the stressful Christmas period.
