DR. PARTHA BANERJEE: HOW REGULAR EXERCISE CAN ACT AS A STRESS RELIEVER FOR YOU?
YOU’RE AWARE THAT EXERCISE IS BENEFICIAL TO YOUR HEALTH, BUT YOU’RE TOO BUSY AND STRESSED TO INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE. ALMOST ANY TYPE OF EXERCISE, FROM AEROBICS TO YOGA HELPS IN RELIEVING STRESS. EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT AN ATHLETE OR IN POOR PHYSICAL CONDITION, A LITTLE EXERCISE CAN GO A LONG WAY TOWARD STRESS RELIEF, SAYS DR PARTHA BANERJEE, UAE.
ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH AND OVERCOME STRESS AND ANXIETY IS TO EXERCISE. SOMETIMES, EXERCISE PRODUCES ENDORPHINS IN YOUR BODY WHICH WORKS AS A NATURAL PAINKILLER.
EXERCISE ON A REGULAR BASIS, WHETHER IT’S ONCE A DAY OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, PROMOTES YOUR BRAIN TO RELEASE ENDORPHINS, WHICH CAN HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.
ACCORDING TO DR PARTHA BANERJEE DUBAI, REGULAR EXERCISE CAN BOOST YOUR SELFESTEEM, ENHANCE YOUR MOOD, HELP YOU RELAX, AND ALLEVIATE MILD DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY SYMPTOMS. EXERCISE LEADS TO BETTER SLEEP, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS HAMPERED BY STRESS, DEPRESSION, AND ANXIETY. IT ALSO PROVIDES A CONTROL OVER YOUR BODY AND MIND.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T CONSIDER EXERCISE TO BE YET ANOTHER TASK ON YOUR TO-DO LIST. MAKE A REGULAR HABIT OF DOING SOMETHING YOU ENJOY, WHETHER IT’S AN AGGRESSIVE TENNIS MATCH OR A QUIET SAUNTER DOWN TO A NEARBY PARK AND BACK. .
