S1 Ep3: Relaxation

When was the last time that you felt relaxed? What were you doing at the time? How long did that last? We are a society that is constantly on the go. We celebrate activity and this parallels the rapid rise in our collective stress levels. On this episode, we discuss stress and how it is a protective mechanism for acute situations. We also discuss how we’re not designed for the chronic, constant stresses of daily life. We go into some of the resulting health consequences. Finally, we talk about the importance of relaxation and how relaxation techniques can have a profound effect on stress reduction. You can find more information about the Fresh Heart Project on our website www.freshheartproject.com.
