Beat Stress with Exercise
Stress has become a common word in today’s hectic life. Usually the symptoms of stress are unidentifiable and are confused with some serious body ailment. The most common symptoms of stress are frequent headache, palpitation in heart, troubled sleep disturbed with nightmares. However, symptoms can be more severe corresponding to the stress level of an individual. Experience of any of the following symptoms recurrently points out towards the increased stress level.
-Muscle or back pain
-Breathlessness, giddiness or weakness

Usually yoga or meditation is prescribed for reducing the stress level in an individual. However, the benefits of exercise to beat stress are less known. Exercise puts body in relax state and decreases the stress level. Moreover consumption of vitamins also helps the body in fighting with stress.
Intake of Vitamin C helps people who are under constant stress. 400mg to 500mg consumption of vitamin C keeps the stress low. B complex vitamins are also known to combat the higher stress level. Their deficiency also leads to stress in a person.
Apart from exercise, few other tips can be followed to beat the stress. Gardening is known to relax mind and rejuvenates the senses.
