Get The Stress Out

     I always feel better when I exercise.  Even if I just get on the treadmill or the trampoline for a little while, I feel better about my day and I have a better outlook on things.  My wife is probably tired of my advice to her when she is stressed out or upset about life.  I tell her to take a walk, jump on the trampoline and just let go of the stress. She would rather eat.   At the time, eating provides the "comfort" she is seeking, but usually provides her with hours of regret afterward.
     I also know when I am angry, if I leave the situation and go for a run around the city or Nay Aug Park, I always come back clearer and calmer.
     I think that most Physicians are too busy to focus on the real issues behind weight gain, anxiety and depression.  We lead sedentary lives, we eat food filled with chemicals and fillers, we don't have time to cook meals and we have stressful jobs and lives.  Eating  well requires time and preparation.  Exercise requires giving up some time as well.  You need to take that time in your day to prepare, to care about your life, to decompress and shake off the stress.




Taking time for yourself is the best time spent.
