Are you having a healthy day today? Yes/No

While we’re on the subject of stress and anxiety (and what a lovely subject that is), whether you’re under pressure at work, or your relationship is on the verge of a breakup, we all need to find effective ways to become more resilient to stress. It’s the leading culprit of numerous chronic illnesses, from heart attacks, strokes, all the way to depression, but it also wreaks havoc on your appearance.
Stress will flood your body with cortisol, which is known to increase your junk food cravings (goodbye carrot sticks, hello Oreos!), cause insomnia, and chronic inflammation. Since there’s no way we can completely remove stress from our lives, you can improve your diet with a supplement such as Nature’s Plus Mega-Stress Complex designed to relieve stress. Also, you can incorporate meditation into your daily life and surround yourself with positive people that will support and encourage you.

Enjoying an occasional glass of red wine is a beautiful way to savor life, but binge drinking, smoking and similar vices are extremely harmful for your health. These bad habits can cause a range of health problems – from damaging your lungs, causing toxins to build up in your body, pushing your filtering organs such as liver and kidneys into overdrive all the way to causing dehydration.
However, have you ever taken a look in the mirror after an insane night at the club? Your skin would appear drained and dry, wrinkles and eyebags much more prominent, and the consequences of continuous alcohol consumption and smoking would only keep piling up over time. And no fancy-pricy cream in the world can erase the effects of your binges.

It’s no coincidence that the famous rosy post-workout glow is considered a symbol of pure, natural beauty – it’s the endorphins, dopamine and serotonin rushing through your body, your circulation pushing blood into your muscles and skin, your blood pumping oxygen into every cell of your system, making you look and feel invigorated, radiant and youthful.
When you lead an active lifestyle, you will enjoy more than just impressive cardiovascular endurance or a six-pack. You’ll also provide your skin with a regular natural cleanse through sweating, reduce the effects of everyday stress with the help of those happy hormones, sleep like a baby (and never underestimate the power of beauty sleep!), and your collagen production will soar through the roof.
