Endocrinologist told how to cope with stress and nervousness

If you are very nervous, endocrinologist Zuhra Pavlova does not recommend taking valerian immediately. The doctor gave some effective advice on what to do when you are very nervous and how to cope with stress.

The first thing is to drink water. It helps stop the synthesis of the hormone that stimulates the release of cortisol. Cortisol helps people think better during stress. But at the same time it should not be too much, because it starts to be too actively used up muscle reserves.

Second, the doctor recommends getting physical activity. "You have probably noticed that when people and even animals are nervous, they begin to thrash and walk from corner to corner. This is also a kind of defense reaction. In working muscles, everything that negatively affects our body is burned. It will be useful to walk, especially in the fresh air, but if you are in a small room, you can squat and do push-ups, "- recommends the doctor.

Third - you can use breathing practices, which also help normalize the hormonal balance, balancing the nervous system.

Fourth - it is good to take a warm bath, especially - with English salt with magnesium. "Here we help the nervous system by inhaling the vapors and absorbing magnesium through the skin. You can also use essential oils: with lavender, with peppermint, with eucalyptus," Zuhra Pavlova continued.

Finally, tears are a way to remove harmful substances from the body and reduce their harmful effects on internal organs.
