Stress Relief tactic that is honest and simple | Tompkins Family Chiropractic | chiropractors Tucson
By Dr. Emil Tompkins,
Tucson Family Chiropractor

wellness.
Work, family, Finances, friends.
These are all things that can cause
stress. And they affect us in so
many ways.
From our emotional state to our
blood pressure can have some
lifelong consequences to our
health. Stress can be managed in
many positive ways. Today we’re
going to talk about exercise, one of
the best stress relievers out there.
The benefits can be astounding, if
you do it right. Here are a few
reasons why exercise will help you
relieve stress. According to Mayo
Clinic, here are a few exercise
benefits:
It pumps up your
endorphins. Physical your brain’s
feel-good neurotransmitters, called
endorphins. Although this function is
often activity helps to bump up the
production of referred to as a runner’s
high, a rousing game of tennis or a
nature hike also can contribute to this
same feeling.
It’s meditation in motion. After a fast-
paced game of racquetball or several
laps in the pool, you’ll often find that
you’ve forgotten the day’s irritations
and concentrated only on your body’s
movements. As you begin to regularly
shed your daily tensions through
movement and physical activity,
you may find that this focus on a single
task, and the resulting energy and
optimism, can help you remain calm and
clear in everything that you do.
It improves your mood. Regular
exercise can increase self-confidence
and lower the symptoms associated with
mild depression and anxiety.
Exercise also can improve
your sleep, which is often
disrupted by stress, depression
and anxiety. All this can ease
your stress levels and give you
a sense of command over your
body and your life.
Your body was created with all the
stress-relieving chemicals it
needs. The brain is full of anti-
depressive, anti anxiety
chemicals. Sometimes, we just
need to help release those mood
enhancing elements. It even
affects me.
When I come home from the office, my
wife will sometimes ask me “Have you
exercised in a while?” I know that I
must be pretty stressed when she asks
that question. Remember, take healthy
steps to manage your stress. Exercise
is one really effective step. You’re not
just doing this for yourself. You’re
making a difference for your entire
family.
