Stress Relief Techniques | Stress is just part of the journey with no way to avoid it for long. Older adults seem to trade the worries of raising their children and job or career concerns with other uncertainties. Aging people often become worried about their health or that of a loved one, spouse, or companion. They recognize that independence may be diminishing, and finances might be constrained. Illness and death of friends and family come all too frequently. These are normal senior stressors, but older adults may need skills for healthily coping with stress.
Stress is often connected with physical and emotional health problems, from anxiety and depression to hypertension, and immune problems. Left unmanaged, stress increases the risk of heart disease by 40%, heart attack by 25%, and stroke by 50%! Other medical conditions can worsen from stress, too. What is a senior to do?
Fortunately, there are stress-relieving techniques that anyone can practice in order to cope better with stress and increase health and well-being. Here is a list to consider.
