The Best All-Natural Stress Relief
Today’s tip is a little dirty, but I swear by this.
We all know that exercise is good for us, and it ultimately makes us feel healthy and strong. Well I’m taking that one step further. To really feel vibrant, powerful, and like the best version of yourself… sweat!
I’ve read that when we sweat we release toxins—that everything from impurities in our skin, to junk in our lymph systems, liver, blood, etc., get pushed out.
That all makes sense to me, but all I can really speak to is what I know for sure: a juicy sweat lifts my mood and rejuvenates me. Every time. As sweat drips, tension, frustration, and stress melt away.
I highly recommend hot yoga classes, but any fitness activity that makes you perspire will do.
If you never sweat, start with a short, brisk walk, and build up. Know your limitations (if you don’t run very often, don’t lace up for a jog when it’s 95 degrees). Be smart, and drink lots of water.
Working up a sweat can be uncomfortable, but it’s very rewarding.
