Beat the stress

Studies show more than 70 percent of Americans are dealing with stress. Dr. Raj Gupta recommends these four tips to reduce that stress and feel better.

1. A brisk half-hour walk every day.

2. A chair-dip exercise to tone during computer work. Put two chairs facing each other three feet apart. Sit on the edge of one chair and grip the edge with your hands. Put your heels on the edge of the other chair, slide forward until elbows are 45-90 degrees and slowly push yourself back up.

3. Drink lots of water! Dehydration causes many stress-related problems.

4. Keep an attitude of gratitude. Be thankful for all you have and can do.
