Health Tip: Suggestions to Manage Stress

by -- Diana Kohnle
Updated: Sep 21st 2009

(HealthDay News) -- Stress can have a significant impact on your physical and emotional health.

The Cleveland Clinic offers this advice on how to keep stress under control:

Limit alcohol consumption, don't smoke and stick to a healthy diet.
Don't take on more than you can handle, and don't be afraid to politely say "no," no matter who's asking.
Exercise is a great stress reliever and helps you feel better.
Practice relaxation techniques daily.
Get organized and take control over your life. Do what you can, and recognize what you can't control.
Try to identify and minimize things that cause stress.
Be realistic in what you can accomplish, and accept that you don't have to do everything. Remind yourself of what you do well.
