The benefits of relaxation techniques
With so many things to do, relaxation techniques may take a back seat in your life. But that means you may miss out on the health benefits of relaxation.
Practicing relaxation techniques can improve how you physically respond to stress by:
* Slowing your heart rate
* Lowering blood pressure
* Slowing your breathing rate
* Reducing the need for oxygen
* Increasing blood flow to major muscles
* Reducing muscle tension
You may also gain these overall health and lifestyle benefits from relaxation techniques:
* Fewer physical symptoms, such as headaches and back pain
* Fewer emotional responses, such as anger and frustration
* More energy
* Improved concentration
* Greater ability to handle problems
* More efficiency in daily activities
