Natural Wellness\u2019s Stress Relief<\/a> includes all natural stress calming herbs such as valerian, hops and skullcap, and provides stress relief for the entire day. Supplements are a time and cost effective way to manage any stress or anxiety you feel \u2013 in a healthy way.<\/p>\n2. CBD Oil<\/h3>\n
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of over 100 chemical compounds found in marijuana. It\u2019s unique in that it provides many natural medicinal benefits such as stress and anxiety relief, without some of the unwanted psychoactive properties or \u201chigh feelings\u201d associated with the more well-known THC that gets inhaled when marijuana is smoked.<\/p>\n
CBD is also an anti-inflammatory agent, a sleep aid, and helps eliminate fat in your liver which helps prevent liver disease.<\/p>\n
And, to top it off, CBD oil is also extremely cost-effective and easy to use, as opposed to the Harley.<\/p>\n
3. Mindfulness<\/h3>\n
Researchers out of Florida State University used a group of 51 students as their sample pool and found that practicing mindfulness in everyday tasks translates into a \u201cdecrease in nervousness by 27 percent and an increase in mental inspiration by 25 percent. The control group, on the other hand, didn\u2019t experience any benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not so a far stretch to extrapolate these findings to use mindfulness in any daily chore such as cleaning or doing the laundry. Do the chores and work on your wellness. Sounds like a great deal to us.<\/p>\n
4. Get a Massage<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
While it may be one of the pricier alternatives to \u201cwind therapy,\u201d it should not be your last and it\u2019s certainly cheaper than a chopper. Not only can massage therapy work out the knots, but it also increases levels of oxytocin, a.k.a. the cuddle hormone and one that decreases levels of stress-related hormones.<\/p>\n
5. Walking<\/h3>\n
The motorcycle study purports that \u201con average, riding a motorcycle for 20 minutes increased participants\u2019 heart rates by 11 percent and adrenaline levels by 27 percent\u2014similar to light exercise.\u201d But there may a convincing argument that going on a light walk around the neighborhood for 20 minutes a day is far safer than riding a motorcycle, is less expensive, and still yields similar health benefits.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h3>\n
Let this new study be a lesson. We\u2019re always able to find ways to validate and legitimize the things we love to do. And the things we love are not always wholly bad. There are always two sides to every study.<\/p>\n
But if the goal is stress relief and anxiety reduction, riding a motorcycle may be one of the most expensive and outright life-threatening ways to achieve it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
