TRACE ELEMENTS TO THE RESCUE
They are sometimes attributed legendary causes, but stress and fatigue are not only the consequences of an excessive workload. Sometimes a simple deficiency can disrupt your entire system. This is where minerals and vitamins come into play! Indeed, some of them play a key role in the nervous system and in emotional stability.
At the top of this list is magnesium. It maintains nervous and muscular balances. It is found in dried vegetables and fruits, or even chocolate. Slip them in your pockets, they are always welcome as snacks. B vitamins also influence stress regulation. B1 calms the nerves, while B6 facilitates the absorption of magnesium. Then, vitamin C, also known for its anti-fatigue properties, calms changes in mood, sleep and anxiety.

REFLEXES TO ADOPT

Also, sport triggers the production of endorphin hormones, otherwise known as happiness hormones, which help to chase away depression. - Blow!
This is also what we learn by doing sophrology, which has now been elevated to the rank of a true science. A sophrologist's advice in case of panic: empty your lungs completely in a slow exhalation movement. Then inhale while counting to 4.

It only takes a few minutes of concentration to become aware of the present moment. This technique is very widespread today and can be practiced using a simple application. - Take a deep bath
