While the scientists who conducted the study stress the need for better attention to family well-being and health, stress and anxiety are two deeply rooted factors that we should all work to reduce from the start. These conditions can not only be mentally overwhelming, but they can also cause a lot of inflammation, further weaken the immune system, affect heart health and slow down the body. In the times we are living in, no health condition can and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, stress and anxiety must be managed holistically. Here are some ways to do this:
– Practice meditation and engage in breathing exercises.
Take time to be physically active and exercise every single day
– Seek help from a support group, and socialize with people close to you (be it virtually or in person)
-Don’t be complacent or uncertain in your COVID behavior
-Practice gratitude every single day
– Have a supportive, remedial diet that reduces stress levels.
