Stress Relief Techniques

 

Accomplish More

Prepare well and be ready to give your best. Nothing is more stressful than being unprepared, which in turn leads to freaking out at the eleventh hour. Remain organised. It will help you get the situation under control when things do not go as planned.

Smart Snacking

Researchers at Montclair State University in New Jersey confirmed that dieters are more likely than non-dieters to overeat when under pressure, craving the very same high-fat foods they normally try to avoid. Simple solution: neither binge eat nor deprive yourself. Keep three or four healthy snacks on hand that you know you’ll probably want–peanuts, if you like salty; string cheese, if you crave protein; a small piece of chocolate for something sweet–so you aren’t tempted to binge.

Wash Hands Properly

Your immune system is suppressed when you’re under pressure, which makes you more susceptible to cold viruses. So, wash your hands properly. Lather up with soap and warm water for 10-20 seconds, or the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday. 

Soothing  Music

British Journal Heart published, listening to slow or meditative music acts as a good stress buster, so subscribe to a stress burst playlist and calm yourself on your daily commute. You can find dedicated playlists on the web. 

Limit cash withdrawals

Let go of all stress pertaining to your finances by keeping track on your spending by visiting the ATM only once a fortnight. Maintain a ledger, so you can see exactly where you stand financially – what you owe, what you own, your monthly income and your budget. Since it’s always in the back of your mind, it bothers you. But once you have the information down, you can begin setting concrete goals using real figures.

Go swimming!

A Swedish study published in the International Journal of Stress Management found that floating in water triggers the body’s relaxation response, helping lower stress-hormone levels. Who doesn’t feel relaxed in the pool?

Mute Notifications

Our personal time is lost by constant bombardment of posts and tweets and emails. Inform your friends colleagues about the time frame you’ll be unavailable on chat or email and remember to catch up later. Meditate and focus on your breathing. It’ll bring more positive vibes in your life!

Count your blessings

Even if you are feeling depressed right now doesn’t mean you are worthless. Go back to the time when you accomplished something, maybe a medal you won or the time you helped a child cross the road. Each one of us has a unique set of talents. You just need to figure out what can you do best with yours.

One Step At A Time

Our mind races at unbelievable speeds pondering questions not crucial right away. Focus only at the task at hand. Carry a tiny diary to note down random thoughts to review later. You can only accomplish something successfully when you are completely involved.

Strict Morning Routine

Getting up early and repeating the same routine would motivate and energize you for the whole day. Working out is one of the most effective stress relievers. Even if you can’t hit the gym, simply go for a run, sweat a little, do some cardio, your heart will appreciate it.

Why so serious?

Laughter not only relieves tension, but actually improves immune function. Watch a funny video. Crack  a funny joke. Life is awesome. Enjoy it with a broad smile!

High Cholesterol And Heart Disease

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in cells in all parts of the body. When there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it can build up on the walls of your arteries and cause blood clots. It can clog your arteries and keep your heart from getting the blood it needs. This can cause a heart attack.

There are two types of cholesterol:

• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is often called the “bad” type of cholesterol because it can obstruct the arteries that carry blood to your heart. For LDL, lower numbers are better.
• High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as “good” cholesterol because it takes the bad cholesterol out of your blood and keeps it from building up in your arteries. For HDL, higher numbers are better.

All women age 20 and older should have their blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels checked at least once every 5 years.

Total cholesterol level – Lower is better. Less than 200 mg/dL is best.

Total cholesterol level	Category
Less than 200 mg/dL	Desirable
200 – 239 mg/dL	Borderline high
240 mg/dL and above	High

LDL (bad) cholesterol – Lower is better. Less than 100 mg/dL is best.

LDL cholesterol level	Category
Less than 100 mg/dL	Optimal
100-129 mg/dL	Near optimal/above optimal
130-159 mg/dL	Borderline high
160-189 mg/dL	High
190 mg/dL and above	Very high

HDL (good) cholesterol – Higher is better. More than 60 mg/dL is best.

Triglyceride levels – Lower is better. Less than 150mg/dL is best.

Monitoring cholesterol levels can be cumbersome task manually. But with technology as handy as your cellphone, you can download free app “Sanket Life” to monitor your cholesterol intake. The app not only helps in keeping track of cholesterol, BP and sugar but also connects to Sanket ECG Monitor and monitors heart. If user is unable to understand ECG, it can be sent for review for a small fee. The app also measures stress levels. Android | iOS

Our world is equipped with technology and internet enables doctors to remotely diagnose critical ailments. Our phones have enormous potential and this innovation is at our disposal. Whether we use it for benefit or just play mindless candy games depends totally on us.

Do Not Just Love, Celebrate The Women in your Life!

This Women’s Day appreciate, encourage, support, and celebrate the great Women in your life!

Say “Thank You!“

Women have loads of responsibilities on their shoulders. Nielsen study reveals that Indian women are the most stressed in the world. An overwhelming 87% of Indian women said they felt stressed most of the time. A simple solution lies in the palm of your hand. Track the stress levels on your phone using Sanket and never let stress go out of control. Appreciation and gratitude have positive effect on every relationship. Thank your mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend and teacher – all the women who have had a hand in your life.

Support and Encourage

It is important to acknowledge and cheer her and offer your support of her goals and dreams.. Ease her tension by telling her that you will be there, encouraging and cheering her on as she goes for that managerial position, or decides to be a homemaker, or possibly is planning to beat some crazy World Record. Make sure she knows that you’re along for the ride, this will help her manage stress better.

Pamper Her

We’re not limiting the discussion to a soothing massage or a relaxing pedicure. Give the women in your life a day of pure fun.  Nothing can bring a smile on her face as quickly as a compliment can. Celebrate her beauty and remind her time and again that you’re proud of her. Make her feel special by walking an extra mile for her or by cooking her favorite dish or organizing a surprise party. An actual celebration is always welcomed. Instead of waiting until Mother’s Day or her birthday, go ahead and throw that party – she’ll be glad!

Respect Her Privacy

Life is already stressful, don’t let her feel the burden in life. Giving the women in your life a few days of personal rest and solitude can do wonders. A celebration is about enjoyment and some “me” time is reason enough to be merry. Pray to God to bless them, protect them, and surround them with grace and love.

Her Well-Being

Make sure she is comfortable, healthy and happy. A woman ignores her own health as she is busy taking care of the family. Visit a clinic with her for regular check ups. If there ever is an ailment (God forbid!), at least it would get discovered in time and appropriate measures can be taken to bring her health back on track. Your phone can help you track vitals like Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar Level, Heart Rate and even Stress! Android | iOS

Don’t Take Her For Granted

The symptoms of abnormal heart are very subtle in women which generally goes unnoticed, as a result women are more prone to cardiac diseases. Unhealthy eating habits and poor exercise regimen are reasons behind heart diseases in most people. Regular heart monitoring is vital to prevent any abnormal cardiac functioning. In this era when technology is at our disposal, we are better equipped to detect and diagnose illness. Sanket helps you in keeping track of normal functioning of your heart using the phone you already own.

Show Love

Love is the ultimate celebration. From a child to his mother, from a husband to his wife, love is a beautiful feeling to witness, experience, and rejoice. Respect and honor her by showering the love and affection everyday. Be proud of her.

5 Ways to Love your Heart before giving it to Someone Else :-)

Ahh! The day of Love is soon to be here. Are you excited? From chocolates to teddy, perfumes to jewellery, everything to fire that feeling and fill your and that special one’s heart with so much love and happiness!! Aren’t you  waiting for the cupid arrow to hit your heart? Yes you are!! But before you give your heart to someone else, love and take care of your heart.

Start today!!

Eat right – Does the food you eat make you Happy or Healthy? or Both? It should actually be both, if you make the right food choices. People with sunny outlook, are more likely to choose healthier food and in turn remain in good mood and health. They are less likely to fall sick and if sick, they recover faster and tend to live longer. So if you are in a bad mood, don’t let your mood decide your food and make it vice versa and make yourself healthier and happier and lovelier choosing the right food. Don’t forget to maintain a food log and get expert tell when needed.

Exercise right – Did that jog I took, helped me lose some pounds or I stressed my heart? Exercise is never a one-regime-fits-for all solution. Each person has different effects of same exercise on their body based on their own metabolism and heart rate variability. Marathon runners, Athletes and Sport persons have more heart rate variability hence, more strenuous exercise their heart can take, while it can put loads of stress on others heart, blood pressure and maximal oxygen uptake. Exercise right to be healthy and not skinny. And yes it will also make your skin glow 🙂

Love yourself- As they say, if you love yourself, everything else falls in line. To make that someone special love you, you first need to start loving yourself. Follow your dreams, believe in yourself, make a Wishlist, plan an adventurous trip, forget the day’s troubles and Thank God for day’s blessings . Your food choices, Your fitness, your body, your mind, your routine everything, remember, everything is changeable to help you be yourself!!! So be your quirky self, put your thoughts forward, live for yourself before you make some else your life. Don’t forget to measure and manage your stress levels and be happy forever 🙂 It’s easy with Sanket!

Change your Lifestyle- Be brighter, put down the lighter!! Smoking is not cool, Trust me!!  Smoking definitely attacks your lungs and increases your chances of cardiac disease by 30%. Drinking alcohol isn’t cool either. Regular consumption of alcohol results in liver damage and higher risk of cancers.  Lack of sleep reduces your performance and lowers your overall mood. Say bye to these bad habits and say Hi to breakfast. Statistics suggest skipping the first meal of the day is bad for your energy levels and it affects your Blood Glucose levels. Don’t be on the couch for too much time watching TV rather spend that time with someone special taking a walk. You may raise a toast with someone with red wine though 🙂

 Track your Health- Being Healthy and not fit is the need of today. Track your health by self monitoring your Blood pressure, Heart rate, Blood sugar, Cholesterol etc and track the progress you make by following above 4 rules. Engage in competition with your friends and colleagues and be an inspiration for them to be healthy too. Remember being Healthy does not only mean preventing and pushing the deadly diseases like cardiac disease to late or never, it also helps you in living your life with that special one longer and happier.

Smog in your city may be Weakening your heart

The country is talking about smog. In our childhood, we hardly had heard the word smog which is today the most talked about topics in our country. Smog- which is combination of Smoke and Fog is a cost which every major city in the developing world has to face and today our national capital is witnessing it like never before.

Delhi is covered with dark clouds of filth and poison leaving people gasping for breath and masking themselves, putting 17 million people to asthma, heart disease, stroke, and even cancer. Delhi is often cited as world’s most polluted city, causing thousands of deaths in a year. The type of air pollution in question is known as coarse particulate matter. Increased levels of this kind of serious pollution is linked to construction material in air, desert winds and farming fumes along with vehicular emissions and other pollutants. The air quality of the city is found to be 42 times above the safe limits. These shocking figures have resulted in cardiovascular illness and mortality especially in senior population. Harmful air pollutants like these, which are coarse than other pollutants can cause cardiovascular diseases such as artery blockages leading to heart attacks. 

 In Indian capital, elderly people or people with heart disease are experiencing chest pain, palpitation, shortness of breath and fatigue. Reason behind this is particle pollution, which has long been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and heart attacks. Such pollutants enter the human body and cause irritation to the lungs and blood vessels around the heart.  The combination of harmful nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter can disturb the heart rhythm. There is clinical evidence that clearly indicates the deleterious effects of ambient air pollution on health and its relation to heart disease and stroke. Lack of blood flow to the heart or heart muscles causes a conductivity change, called an “ST-segment depression”. These can be detected in electrocardiograms, when tested.

Precautions Can Help Heart Patients if they adapt these pro-active approaches:

• The American Heart Association recommends that heart patients, especially those who have had a heart attack, do not drive for two to three weeks after being discharged and also avoid driving in heavy traffic because of the stress such a situation creates.

• Certain additional precautionary steps may also be useful, such as making sure one is not exposed to other forms of air pollution, for example construction sites and the use of air purifiers to improve the quality of air in the home.

• Drink plenty of fluids or water to keep your respiratory tract moist.

• People suffering from diabetes should keep their blood sugar in check as they are vulnerable to Respiratory and Cardiovascular diseases.

• If you are required to be outdoors, ensure that it is during early mornings or after the sun sets.

• Use n95 or n99 mask when you go out.

  If you or anyone you know has a heart problem, its time for you to take up all precautions to maintain a Healthy Heart in such pollution. Monitoring heart regularly, to avoid any mishap in the long run is the need of the hour. You can track your heart activities in an ECG machine. ECG machines available are so bulky and costly that it is hard to imagine having them at home monitoring your heart regularly — seeing which Agatsa developed a pocket-able ECG device called Sanket. It measures your ECG and connects you with your doctor instantly. The test is done in 15 Seconds and the report can be sent for review  Sanket, thus, diffuses any confusion of a normal pain from a heart attack.

We all are suffering due to the adverse effects of the Capital’s pollution. Why just the National capital but all major cities in India are in clutches of Heavy pollution leading to increase in number of deaths every year. We urge that the need of the hour is to take our Health in our hands and be proactive in measuring and monitoring rather than just curing.

                                                                                            Curb Pollution, Save Generations!!

If you are facing these 10 symptoms, you might be stressed!

You’re stressed. Everyone’s stressed. No big deal, right? Because it’s so common, you might think that if you’re not lying on the floor from exhaustion, you’re probably fine. But stress has an insidious way of creeping up on you, and it’s not just a mental or emotional issue—stress symptoms can impact the body in some very visible (and bizarre) ways. Excessive or prolonged stress can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion, mental health problems and in extreme cases, stress can be a killer.

Recent studies show that Consistent Stress can take up to 10 years off your life, and cause life-damaging effects.

Top Signs that show you are way too “STRESSED”

1. You have a constant headache that just won’t go away– Be it early morning or late night, your head constantly feel some heaviness. You crave for a peaceful and relaxed mind but fail to achieve it. This in turns makes your mood more irritable and frustrated. Stress Makes you feel constantly tired and worn out.

2. You have trouble sleeping well– It changes your sleep habits. Either you sleep too much or do not sleep enough.

3. Your hair is starting to fall out– Roughly three to six months after a majorly stressful event, like getting axed from a job or ending a big relationship, you might notice more hair on your brush or in the drain than usual (shedding around 100 strands a day is normal).

4. You’re perpetually sick and just can’t seem to get over it– The brain’s nervous system is linked to the guts, so mental stress can wreak havoc on your stomach too. When you’re stressed, your brain becomes more alert to sensations in your stomach. Your stomach can react with “butterflies” or even nausea or pain. You may vomit if the stress is severe enough. And, if the stress becomes chronic, you may develop ulcers or severe stomach pain even without ulcers. Causing you to catch colds or the flu more often and causing other illnesses such as asthma, headaches, stomach problems, skin problems, and other aches and pains are all because of stress.

5. Upset over trivial things– Feeling out of control, overwhelmed, confused, and/or unable to make decisions are caused due to stress. You get panic-attacks over simplest problems.

6. Breathing difficulty– Stress can make you breathe harder. That’s not a problem for most people, but for those with asthma or a lung disease such as emphysema, getting the oxygen you need to breathe easier can be difficult.

7. Shakiness in hands– Your hands and feet get cold and start shaking when you get upset and nervous.

8. Irritable nature– Experiencing mood changes such as depression, frustration, anger, helplessness, irritability, defensiveness, irrationality, overreaction, or impatience and restlessness

9. Sense of fear everyday– Developing irrational fears of things such as physical illnesses, natural disasters like thunderstorms and earthquakes, and even being terrified of ordinary situations like heights or small spaces

10. Out of nowhere acne– Just like your hair, your skin is sensitive to those higher-than-normal androgen, which can bring on breakouts.

It’s hard to think of any disease in which stress cannot play an aggravating role or any part of the body that is not affected. Can you avoid stress? Not always. But through a healthy lifestyle, good wholesome nutrition and stress reduction. You can sometimes control the long-term damage. Research says people with high levels of stress and depression are 48 percent more likely to die of heart attack. Thus, stress and depression can take a dangerous toll on the health of people with heart problems.

Constant measurement and management of stress is very important to prevent the monster stress to  sip on your health. Free your mind from stress and you will feel the joy of life.

BECAUSE A SILENT HEART ATTACK ISN’T DRAMATIC

“Just like the name implies, a silent heart attack is a heart attack that has either no symptoms or minimal symptoms or unrecognized symptoms,” says Deborah Ekery, M.D., a clinical cardiologist at Heart Hospital of Austin and with Austin Heart in Austin, TX. “But it is like any other heart attack where blood flow to a section of the heart is temporarily blocked and can cause scarring and damage to the heart muscle.” For more than 4 months, Mrs.Kapoor (52) felt exhausted through out the day. Displeased with everything, her children were worried for her ill-temper. They urged her to go to the doctor but she kept making excuses. One day before leaving for a family gathering, she became more restless with tears in her eyes. She was finally taken to the hospital by her kids where the doctor ordered an electrocardiogram (EKG). Result showed that Mrs.Kapoor had suffered a so-called “silent heart attack” at some indeterminate point, perhaps months earlier.

Though silent heart attack is most common among women and people with diabetes, but it can happen to anyone. The fact is: Heart disease has the highest mortality rate among women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. That’s approximately one woman every minute!

WARNING SIGNALS

•  Unexplained fatigue
•  Indigestion
•  Shortness of breath and/or discomfort in the throat, neck, jaw
•  Heartburn

What to do during a silent heart attack?

The term “silent” in a silent heart attack is the complicating factor—often, women don’t realize they’re experiencing a medical emergency. If you do notice symptoms of a silent heart attack, try to stay calm and call for ambulance immediately. When you get to the hosptial, make it clear that you think you may be having a heart attack and not an anxiety attack. Advocate for yourself or, if you can, bring along someone who will advocate for you.

A silent heart attack can be just as dangerous as its more obvious counterpart. Because it often leaves scarring and damage to the heart, it puts the person at greater risk of other heart problems. And because the person didn’t know to seek treatment, blood flow to the heart

might not have been restored early on, and no medications were administered, so the impact could potentially be greater.

The Travel Time for Hospital is approximately 2-3 hours. What if something unfortunate happens at that time? What if the pain has increased before any tests can be arranged? Our team cares for all such delicate situations.The key is to detect this on its very onset. To do so, you need to measure it with Sanket. This award winning innovation, measures your ECG and connects you with your doc instantly. The test is done in 15 Seconds.The report can be sent for review immediately. Sanket thus diffuses any confusion of a normal pain from a heart attack.

Don’t let Junk Food make your child STRESSED!

Rohit, a cute and shy 13 year old had no signs of cheer returning home. Internally, he was disheartened for the race he lost in his school.  He was overweight and was body-shamed by a bunch of brats who made fun of his bulging belly. Heart-broken Rohit used to lay on his bed watching TV and had chips, noodles and soft drinks. Because of this stress, he made poor choices in food. He clinged to junk food that made him lethargic and reduced his immunity power. This further made him lose his focus in studies. Slowly, such insults made him lose his focus from studies too. His rank dropped from 2^nd position to 15^th. His parents felt helpless and worried as Rohit was behaving increasingly strange.  They wondered if they could do anything to help him, only had they known that all they needed was a stress management tool.

Schooling years, being an important phase of life, absolutely require proper nutrition and calm mind. These students go through immense stress because of peer pressure, examinations, appearances, getting noticed and even lack of attention from their loved ones. Many a times, these innocent beings start over-eating or skip meals because of stress. Children afflicted by sustained poor nutrition are at a greater risk of obesity, mental and emotional health problems, and a failure to thrive academically. Let me point out some:

• Obesity–This is especially true of children who regularly consume fast food. According to the Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion, obesity in children can lead to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and a variety of other health problems. Obesity can also result in a negative self-image, eating disorders, a decreased quality of life and other long-term psychosocial problems that are extremely difficult to reverse.

• Mental and Emotional Health– A study in the “Indian Journal of Psychiatry” in 2008 noted a link between iron deficiency and hyperactivity disorders in children. Iodine deficiency has also been linked to multiple developmental impairments. Certain nutritional habits that children may be prone to, such as skipping meals or overindulging in sugary foods, have also been linked to depression. Additionally, these mental and emotional health problems in children are often reinforced by obesity and low self-esteem, which may be the result of poor nutrition.

• Education– When a child does not get the required amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients for health, it could lead to lethargy, a lack of energy and a general failure to thrive. The World Bank notes an association between improper childhood nutrition and lower IQ levels as well.

• Illness–Poor nutrition and obesity have the potential to result in many long-term, chronic illnesses.

  It is a proven fact that children these days go through much more stress than adults do. This means stress management for children is an important topic for parents to understand. The first step to combat Stress is by having good nutrition. According to MayoClinic.com, ingredients in the food that your child eats, fuel many of the factors that affect their behavior. Kids who eat healthy are able to cope with stress and regulate their emotions better, says the American Psychological Association. We all know, how vital fruits, green vegetables, milk, eggs and almonds among others are for kids. The problem today is, 90% of kids find nutritious food very boring to eat. As a parent, you should ensure that your kid is taking the right amount of nutrition. A parent should be use his creative skills during food presentation. Involving him during food planning is not a bad idea either. Stress disrupts not only your child’s overall performance but makes them prone to heart disease as well.

The key is to detect and manage stress on its very onset. To do so, you need to measure it with Sanket. This award winning innovation, along with measuring your ECG and connecting you with your doc instantly, also measures your stress levels. Rohit now knows how to tackle his mental conflicts and the importance of good diet and exercise. He regained his 2^nd position and lives confidently. If you want your child to overcome all such obstacles, gift him a Sanket instead of worthless expensive gadgets.
