A study published in Nutrients stated that stress has become a norm in today’s life, but its deep-rooted ill-effects on both mental, as well as physical well-being must not be neglected. It spikes the blood pressure and even heart rate, causing temporary impairment in artery functioning. This effect continues long after the stressful event is over. Mere one instance of stress can pose significant damage to your heart health.

Despite being aware of the harmful effect of stress, avoiding it is something many of us find to be out of our hands. Truth be told, beating stress is not that difficult if we put at least a little effort into it each day. Apart from eating a balanced diet full of flavanols, partaking in a fun physical activity, talking out our concerns, and practicing meditation do a wonderful job at keeping you mentally strong.

This is all the advice we had to help you manage stress for today. What do you do when you feel your stress is getting the better of you? Also, how do you like having your cup of cocoa?
