In addition, prolonged stress can lead to an increase in oxidative processes in your body.

This in turn leads to DNA resolution and premature aging.

How to recover from stress

It is possible to return to your previous state. To do this, you need to give yourself time to recover.

Monitor your diet, sleep quality and physical activity.

Relieving stress begins the body's recovery process. But it is important to help this further.

The recovery process will help you stop premature aging and restore damaged cells and tissues.

Make sure your diet is balanced and complete.

Add more different types of protein to your diet - meat, fish, seafood, dairy products, mushrooms, legumes.

Also, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and berries.

They are rich in antioxidants that will help your body recover from stress.

Get enough sleep, sleep at least 8 hours, go to bed and get up at the same time. Sleep is an important part of human health.

Engage in any form of physical activity: walks in the park, swimming, yoga, fitness.
