Our bodies were made to live 150 years or so, it’s in your bible, what has changed since Eve gave Adam the apple?  Stress!

There are many things we can do to reduce the stress in our daily lives. Massage is one of the best ways to relieve stress both mentally and physically. During your massage you will notice your mind drifting off to an almost euphoric state half in this world and half in a dream state. I have had many occasions where a client will say something that makes no sense to me but perfect sense to the clients in the altered state of mind. This allows the mind to rest and ease the stress of the day by relaxation.  This is a significant way to relieve internal stress.

Mental stress can also affect your muscular system in a way that unbalances the body. Think about when you have had an overly stressful day, most people will hold their stress in their neck and shoulders. The pain between the shoulder blades is normally related to mental stress. The neck also holds a lot of daily stress. Compound that by sleeping on it wrong (usually due to restless sleep) and you have a stiff neck. Massage can help to relieve that stress and pain in most cases immediately.

If you could afford to get a daily massage like Bob Hope did, and by the way he lived to 100, that would be the best way to relieve everyday stress. But there are other ways as well. Hobbies are a great stress reliever. Painting, building model air planes, and running are just a few.  These kind of stress relievers are also good for the mind and the body because you are temporarily getting your mind off of the daily grind and doing something you enjoy, which is really the key to stress relief. It is better for you to enjoy the hobby you choose otherwise you are making yourself another chore which will defeat the purpose of the hobby.

I have also come upon a supplement that actually reduces your oxidative stress levels by 40-70% in every human study. It’s called Protandim. My experience with it has been amazing. After only taking it for a couple of days I felt an overwhelming feeling of well being. I also felt more energy at the end of the day. My digestive system seems to work better and I lost 15 pounds in the first 2 weeks of taking it. I don’t want to live to be 100 years old if someone has to change my diapers. This supplement gives me a chance to live a healthier life.
