How to deal with stress? Learn a few simple ways!

The consequences of long-term stress

It's hard to define stress clearly. Doctors, pharmacists and other experts define it as a state of chronic and, at the same time, excessive nervous tension, which, in the long term, causes persistence of annoying stimulation and disruption of natural homeostasis of the body. It is not difficult to guess that the consequence of such a state is a clear deterioration of the psychophysical condition and a significant impediment to the performance of daily activities.

The intense impact of stressful stimuli over time causes imbalances in the metabolism of neurotransmitters - chemical compounds that allow the conduction of nerve signals between neurons and between the nervous system and glands and muscles. The result of stress may be the appearance of a number of adverse symptoms:

• excessive mouth dryness,
• clear reduction in the level of concentration,
• annoyance and poor well-being,
• hard to control appetite for sweets,
• sleep problems and difficulty falling asleep,
• painful and uncontrolled muscle spasms,
• constant fatigue and lack of energy

How to deal with stress?

There are many ways to deal with stress and allow your body to regain its balance. Of course, it is difficult to generalize and everyone should find their own method to maintain optimal balance and neutralize the consequences of excessive stress.

Physical activity

Sport has long been seen as the ideal way to deal with many problems, including those affecting the well-being and emotional sphere. During physical activity, the body releases endorphins - the hormones of happiness - which clearly improve mood and help to reduce the persistent feeling of fatigue. Every form of physical activity is good - the most important thing is that the exercises performed turn out to be fun and do not cause additional frustration. 30 minutes a day is enough to deal with stress .

Adequately chosen supplementation

The Olimp Sport Nutrition brand offers a number of products that can be helpful in the face of annoying stress. For athletes, the Ashwagandha 600 Sport supplement - a high-quality standardized extract from the Withania somnifera root, which shows valuable adaptogenic properties in the face of excessive psychophysical stress, will prove to be a very good solution. In turn, people who work intensively on a mental level (e.g. students, office and large corporation workers) can try the multi-component R-weiler Focus neurostack, which formula contains, among others, extracts from plant adaptogens, caffeine, creatine and amino acids. It is all about dealing with stress in an uncompromising and multidimensional way.

The correct amount of sleep and regeneration

Stress is often the result of late nights and sleep deprivation. Annoyance and exaggerated irritation do not promote falling asleep, and shortening its time affects the total amount of your energy. It is also similar in the case of insufficient regeneration, e.g. after an exhausting workout or a long and extremely stressful day at work. Rest is an extremely important aspect in the context of dealing with stress - one must not forget that every person needs a moment's rest to catch their breath.
