Is stress constantly in your life? Feeling regularly overwhelmed? Do you know what constant stress is doing to your body including the way you look?

Stress is one of the highest contributors to poor health and ageing, yet it is an acceptable part of your daily life. That acceptance is making you look and feel older as stress affects the equilibrium of how your body functions.

Your body handles stress through responding to fight or flight situations with the release of adrenalin and cortisol that stimulate organs and systems required for survival. However, constant stress releases a continuous flow of these hormones affecting other organs and systems by inhibiting their function, such as skin circulation, immune system, digestion and reproduction.

Constant stress affects proper functions of your mind and body; and causes health complications. This accelerates your body’s ageing process inside and out. Don't worry, the ageing effects of constant stress is preventable.

Here are easy steps in effectively fighting the stress-related ageing process.

• Seriously review your lifestyle. Make sure you take the time out from your busy schedule to look after yourself. Eat a balanced healthy diet. Exercise to release endorphins.
• Involve others in managing your stress. Family, friends and healthcare professionals are sources of support, motivation and information to keep you going in improving your lifestyle.
• Be disciplined in managing your stress levels. It is easy to fall back into old habits and routines.

Invigor8 Anti-Ageing Clinic can help you take the first step in improving your life and removing the signs of stress on your face and tension in your body with the Stress Less, Age Less Package.

Included in the package is a non-invasive enzyme treatment on your face that will amazingly improve your skin appearance and condition. Dead skin cell build-up and poor functioning skin contribute to wrinkles, fine lines, and premature ageing. The Danne Enzyme Treatment thoroughly removes buildup and free radicals from your skin; and improves poor skin circulation cause by constant heightened cortisol and adrenaline levels.

The full body massage included in the package will reduce your stress levels through relaxation. Massage also has other physiological benefits including stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. This in turn stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, the “feel good” hormones. Massage also increases the flow of lymph and improves your sleep; stimulates the immune system by increasing peripheral blood lymphocytes; and has been known to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. With all these benefits, massage should be part of your stress management and anti-ageing routine.

Invigor8 is open until late on weekdays to cater for even the busiest schedules.
