The Importance of Relaxation
Good morning! Its MONDAY! First day of the week, and the day that kick-starts your morning blues. Its also back to school day, and I trust the traffic was at its usual crawl.
We live in a stressful world today. Experts estimate that 80-90% of diseases today are stress related. Relaxation is perhaps the single most important key to health and well-being. It is the antidote to stress which is known to contribute to the development of disease. When we relax, our body has an opportunity to unwind.
Benefits of Relaxation
- gives the heart a rest by slowing the heart rate
- reduces blood pressure
- slows the rate of breathing, which reduces the need for oxygen
- increases blood flow to the muscles
- decreases muscle tension
Results of Relaxation
- more energy
- better sleep
- enhanced immunity
- increased concentration
- better problem-solving abilities
- greater efficiency
- smoother emotions; less anger, crying, anxiety, frustration
- less headaches and pain
So no matter how bad your day is, remember to relax. If you're finding that hard to do, come over to Ravissante, and let us pamper you :) Have a great day ahead!
