We've all been told about the importance of relaxation during times of stress. But how you relax determines how well you reduce the effect stress has on your body.

Great sex is revered as the pinnacle of human experience. As women age beyond child-bearing years and into menopause, however, sex can seem unnecessary or inconsequential—especially if it is uncomfortable or painful.
Hormones are necessary biological ingredients to an individual’s ability to live––and enjoy––a healthy, active life. And when these components go out of balance, everything from muscle aches to waning sex drives can be experienced.
Getting regular exercise is something many of us struggle with. So adding meditation into our already hectic schedule can seem impossible. Additionally, if you don’t see the benefits of doing meditation, you may wonder why it’s worth the hassle.
Many people know about meditation as a form of stress management, and it’s easy to see why. Countless studies have proven that meditation reduces your body’s production of the stress hormone cortisol.
It’s no secret that your heart is a key indicator of your overall health. If it’s healthy and strong, you know you’re doing something right. If you have a heart rate that is too fast or too slow, you know it’s time to make a change.
But the importance of your heartbeats goes beyond the speed and number of beats per minute. Your heart rate variability can also tell you how healthy you really are—and whether you may have underlying conditions that haven’t been discovered yet.
In today’s digital age, sharing is an integral part of life. No one goes on vacation, makes a career change, has a baby, or even eats an amazing meal without sharing it on some form of social media.
It's easier than ever to connect today. Perhaps that's why Facebook has approximately 2 billion users. As more and more people scroll through social feeds, however, researchers have begun to question the actual benefits of social media.
Death is something most of us don’t want to think about. In fact, we would prefer to do anything else. But as we get older, the risk of chronic diseases, injuries, and other health problems increases.
We want to live a full, engaging life as long as possible. We shouldn’t have to slow down just because we’re older than we used to be.
There’s no reason to feel shame for having a low libido. As most men age, a decreased interest in sexual activity is normal.
It’s also normal to experience peaks and valleys in your sex drive over time. However, if you notice a consistent flatline in your libido––and issues like erectile dysfunction and stress are getting in the way in the bedroom––it may be time to look for answers.
Remaining physically active as you age is important to slowing down the aging process. It helps keep you physically fit and at an ideal weight.
You can’t quite pinpoint what’s wrong.
