Press Release Summary = Exercise can greatly reduce stress because every time we
exercise we actually drain stress right out of our body all together. The simplest
and most immediate approach to stress reduction is to make time, even small amounts,
for exercise and recreation. All that is needed is the motivation to go and do it.
Understanding the benefits of exercise beyond obvious enjoyment can make a marked
improvement in one's lifestyle.

Press Release Body = Stress is not something that any of us enjoy going through,
however, we are all forced to deal with the effects of stress sooner or later. When
most of us think of stress we just assume that it is a fact of life that there is no
cure for. That is not true. A healthy and balanced diet can reduce the effects that
our bodies experience when under stress. However, regular exercise can also help
with that as well.

When most of us think of adding exercise to our daily routines it is usually because
of weight issues that we have. What is not so commonly known is how exercise can
actually reduce stress and our body\'s reaction to it. It may sound silly but it is
really true. The reason for it is because of the amount of energy we use in
exercising. Every time we exercise we actually drain stress right out of our body
all together. Think about it, if you went jogging and began in a stressed out mood
or high strung, chances are that at the end of your jog, you are suddenly relaxed
and feeling fine.

You don\'t have to go overboard on exercise in order to feel the effects of it
either. In fact a walk in the morning will do a lot to help reduce your stress
levels, and an added benefit to it is that you will also upgrade your fitness levels
while loosing weight. If you take out even just a half of an hour during the day to
exercise, you will notice that you sleep better at night, which will lessen your
groggy and sleepy feelings during the day. This will also help you in living a
stress free lifestyle.


It is a well known and documented fact that eating right and exercising regularly is
great for maintaining a stress free life but it can\'t do everything on its own. You
must also make time to be alone without any people around you to do things that
interest you. Perhaps the best exercise you can take daily is walking or jogging.
Even riding a bike can be a great way to reduce your stress. For example walking or
riding a bike to work in good weather rather than driving. It gives your journey a
purpose, which will make it easier to follow through with it.

Exercise alone cannot reduce your stress, but it can certainly help. A proper diet
will also be a key to maintaining your stress levels. If your body is physically
healthy, your ability handle stress is greatly increased. It is just a simple fact.
If you are serious about keeping your stress under control, be sure to add exercise
to your daily routine.

* Scientists say exercise, too, may prolong life by providing low-level stress. In
studies, rodents live longer on average with regular exercise, largely because they
are less prone to cancer. That regular physical exercise also increases the levels
of nerve growth factor in animals\' brains, in much the same way as intermittent
fasting does. [* By GINA KOLATA, New York Times Article

Study after study has observed that people who engage in moderate exercise most days
of the week (say, a brisk walk) live longer, but it is not clear why. They do not
exercise enough to lose weight, nor enough to make much difference in their blood
pressure or their cholesterol levels.

Most people gain weight due to stress and not because of increased food intake or
reduction in activity levels. Combining regular, vigorous exercise along with
eliminating stress can bring about a reversal: significant weight reduction.

Five days of regular, vigorous exercise does stimulate efficiency throughout the
body. Too much vigorous exercise can cause the body to go into the survival mode and
cause damage to the regular efficient system. This is why it is vital that exercise
is begun gradually and increased gradually.
