Self-Care
Here are some self-care methods [5] you can try to minimize the signs and symptoms of this disease. They include:
Relaxing – get off your feet and spend time relaxing your body as this helps to lower your cortisol levels. Ensure you observe the medically recommended daily hours of sleep and try relaxation techniques to ease tension.
Balanced diet – maintain a healthy diet to nourish your body with all the right nutrients for optimal health.
Learn to unwind – take time to chill after a hectic day. Simple acts like reading a book or hanging out with friends can help calm your mind and maintain healthy cortisol levels.
