Stress can really get us down and be detrimental to our health, therefore it is important to try various stress-management strategies to avoid feeling out of control.
Dr. Joseph Stubbs, president of the American College of Physicians and an internist in Albany, Georgia, offers many tips on how to relax and beat the stress. Among those tips is exercise. Pete McCall, an exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise in San Diego says that by exercising, we are helping our bodies learn how to accommodate stress. McCall recommends starting small, two times a week for a minimum of 20 to 25 minutes, and aiming to work your way up to about an hour a day for long-term health benefits. He even suggests using electronic "exergames," such as Nintendo's Wii Sports and Wii Fit, to raise the heart rate.
