Yoga includes a number of time proven stress relief methods together, this includes exercise, listening to calming music, breathing exercises, meditation practices, guided imagery (this one depends on the style of yoga you practice, for stress release stay away from power yoga and stick to gentle or basic yoga), and stretching.

In general yoga includes moving the body into different poses and stretches while concentrating on intentional and controlled breathing. This allowed the body to be relaxed and energized at the same time, a rare combination. This type of practice benefits the body by including oxygenating the blood, which travels through the body delivering more oxygen to all the cells of the body. This relaxes the muscles and quiets the mind. Yoga is partially intention as well, if you are preforming your movements with the intention of releasing stress and tension it will help.

You can get these benefits for a relatively small amount of effort. At fifteen or twenty-five minutes a day you can get some amazing results for stress relief. Yoga is a natural counterbalance to stress and will strengthen the way you deal with stress on the daily basis. It’s not a quick fix and won’t work immediately or the first time you try it, it’s a process and the more time and effort you put into it the more results you will get.

Implementing yoga into your stress relief routine will help to slow down your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, calm feelings of anxiety, bring hormones into balance, enhance your sleep, and more. Yoga also helps clear the mind and un-clutter the brain which often create stress and sometimes even tension headaches.

Any yoga pose for any length of time will help with stress release but focusing on the neck, chest and shoulders will get you the most amount of benefit in a shorter amount of time. Even simple movements such as neck circles, shoulder rolls, chest expansion, spinal twists, will aid in the release of stress and tension. In general men tend to hold their stress and tension in their shoulders, and women tend to hold theirs in their lower backs.

Training the body and mind can be accomplished with yoga, training ourselves to respond to the request for relaxation and stress release. Creating a new and healthy habit of relaxation that can be very helpful when we are in the middle of stressful situations as well as after. (By: Gaylene Thoeny)

LONDON, England (AP) — Like UV rays and diesel exhaust fumes, working the graveyard shift will soon be listed as a “probable” cause of cancer.

Graveyard shift work disrupts the circadian rhythm, the body’s biological clock.

It is a surprising step validating a concept once considered wacky. And it is based on research that finds higher rates of breast and prostate cancer among women and men whose work day starts after dark.

Next month, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization, will add overnight shift work as a probable carcinogen.

The American Cancer Society says it will likely follow. Up to now, the U.S. organization has considered the work-cancer link to be “uncertain, controversial or unproven.”

The higher cancer rates don’t prove working overnight can cause cancer. There may be other factors common among graveyard shift workers that raise their risk for cancer. Read more…

Ventricular tachycardia can be fatal

Transplanting genetically engineered cells into the heart may reduce the risk of a fatal condition which occurs after heart attack, research suggests. Ventricular tachycardia – an unusually fast heart rhythm – is the main cause of sudden death after heart attack.

In mice, transplants of skeletal muscle cells engineered to produce a specific protein prevented the condition.

Experts said the study in Nature should help to direct research on using stem cells to treat heart attacks in humans. Read more…
