“One of the most valuable things we can do in life is to learn deep relaxation - making an effort to spend some time every day quieting our minds in order to create inner peace and better health”
~ Herbert Benson, M.D.
Why is rest important
The inability to rest effectively can lead to poor sleep due to our bodies and minds being overstimulated. This creates stress within the system.
Many people suffer chronic low-level stress and think it's normal.
Chronic stress contributes to;
- high blood pressure,
- causes brain changes that may contribute to anxiety, depression, and addiction,
- promotes the formation of artery-clogging deposits,
- contributes to obesity, both through direct mechanisms (causing people to eat more) or
indirectly (decreasing sleep and exercise).
Many people suffer chronic low-level stress and think it's normal.
