Managing stress

If you’re a stress eater, the current political climate is probably a major trigger, no matter your viewpoints. If you find yourself turning to the refrigerator – or the cabinet where you keep your favorite carbs – the first thing you need to do is turn off the TV or put down the newspaper. Then, relieve all that tension and anxiety by taking a walk in the woods. The Japanese call it forest bathing, a form of aromatherapy that has the ability to restore tranquility in minutes.
