Tips to help reduce stress

Our providers can help equip you with the tools you need to have a stress-free lifestyle. They can connect the dots between your mental health and physical health and help you see the whole picture.

Eat Well

Having a healthy, nutritious and balanced diet can help tremendously. Avoiding stimulants like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine that can amplify stress is also recommended. 

Sun exposure if one of the main ways your body absorbs Vitamin D. This vitamin can help ward off depression and lower stress. Try to get 5-15 minutes of sunlight a few times a week. Also, eating vitamin D rich foods or taking a Vitamin D supplement can help.
