A woman and three children at the beach sit and splash the water with their feet. Words: A stressless you.

What is STRESS?

Stress is internal or external influences that disrupt an individual's normal state of well-being. These influences are capable of affecting health by causing emotional distress and leading to a variety of physiological changes.

Stress can play a part in problems such as headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, or arthritis, in addition to depression and anxiety.

DID YOU KNOW?

There are a multitude of ways to combat stress, including:

getting enough sleep on a regular schedule
walking, running, or swimming for at least 30 minutes each day
laughing more! (Hint: Did you hear about the kidnapping at school? He woke up.)
spending more time with friends and family, including the furry ones.

Videos to help you create a stressless you:
