*information obtained from African-American Healthy by Richard Walker Jr, M.D

Stress causes a rush of cortisol and norepinephrine in your system. These hormones raise your blood pressure which prepares you to either fight the stress or flee from it. Although it is only a temporary reaction; this elevation in blood pressure can still damage blood vessels which can lead to impaired kidney function.

1. Exercise

2. Deep Breathing

3. Sleep (7-8 hours)

4. Simplify your life (don’t spread yourself too thin; overworking yourself)

5. Visit Nature (go inside a forest a for 20 mins)

6. Reduce social media intake

7. Stretching

8. Praying
