What Are You Doing To Help Curb Your Stress?

Stress is extremely common in today’s world. In fact, according to a recent Gallup poll, nearly eight in ten Americans report that they are either frequently or sometimes stressed in their everyday lives, while only four percent of respondents stated that they are never stressed.

With April being Stress Awareness Month, it’s important to bring to light how widespread stress is for people in this world, and also talk about ways that you can help curb the stress in your life. High levels of stress can have lasting effects on our body, including high blood pressure and heart issues, not to mention the mental health problems that could come along with it as well.

How To Help Ease Your Stress

Managing stress is a very important task to take on in your life, and the first step in doing so is recognizing and acknowledging what exactly is causing it. From there, you need to identify strategies around that stress-causing issue that will help you manage it better.

Additionally, you need to take care of yourself when stress is continuing to build up, and no, that doesn’t mean you have to take a vacation every other weekend.

You’re Flushing Your Vitamins Down The Toilet… Literally

Wastewater treatment plants can tell us a lot about what is going on in the world. For example, public health officials have been using data from plants to accurately predict upcoming COVID surges nearly a week before the positive cases started happening.

Another thing that wastewater treatment plants have told us is that our bodies aren’t absorbing (certain) vitamin and nutrient supplements, and even prescription drugs. Lower-quality vitamin supplements are simply passing right through the body and ending up in the sewage.

Examining The Link Between Heart Health and Micronutrients

The month of February has several associations with the heart. The two most prominent among those, however, are Valentine’s Day (of course) as well as the fact that February is American Heart Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and one-third of all global deaths each year can be attributed to cardiovascular disease overall.

Many doctors worldwide say that these deaths are mainly due to people’s unwise diet choices and high salt intake–although we’ve already talked about how important salt (the right kind of salt) is for your body–but another link continues to pop up in research all around the globe: micronutrient deficiency.

What You Are Eating Is Probably Making You Depressed

Rates of anxiety and depression continue to rise throughout the United States, as the national average has climbed to nearly 20% of the adult population currently experiencing at least a mild issue with their mental health.

Many people are pointing at the pandemic as the main reason why this rate continues to climb, but the fact of the matter is that the rates of reported depression among adults have been climbing steadily for years, even despite an “astounding increase in antidepressant use by Americans,” according to Harvard Medical School.
