How you can conquer stress and harness it into productivity

In the fast-paced beat of today's busy life, stress can feel like a tough opponent, but it also holds the power to bring about positive change. It involves recognizing stress as a powerful force that, when accepted and directed thoughtfully, transforms into the driving force behind productivity.” According to Dr Ashutosh Shah, Consultant Psychiatrist at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai, although the term "stress" is used to characterise significant events at several levels of brain structure and within the body ; it has been difficult to come up with a comprehensive and rigorous definition of the term “stress”. Dr Ashutosh Shah answered that individuals could develop a health buffer to deal with stress and this buffer can be developed using a lifestyle that promotes brain and body health. Traditionally cooked balanced meals which are healthy for the heart, eat at fixed time intervals, eat to satisfy hunger not taste buds, maintain minimum 12 hour fasting between dinner and breakfast. Move well: Children should get a minimum of an hour of intense physical activity every day; adults a minimum of 30 minutes brisk walk daily.
