Get Active to Reduce Stress and Teeth Grinding

We all know that de-stressing is one of the common recommendations for sufferers of bruxism or teeth grinding. One of these is exercise, a way to calm the nerves and anxiety of a person. Also, gym or home workouts are good to reduce stress. There are some key things to know when we are selecting the best exercise to benefit mental health said by The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (n.d). 

Long or short workout is good for our body. Having completed an hour-long workout video or just simply walking around the block for about 10 minutes and all the movements will go to a happier, healthier mind and body. The study shows that just five minutes of exercise results in anti-anxiety effects.

Take note, this is not the right moment to try a complicated new move, skills, or activity because if the primary goal of workout is to lower/lessen stress, try to consider sticking to a workout that you know. Allow your mind to relax by choosing the best routine that you completed before and set yourself for success. 

Enjoy your exercise there’s no one activity or workout. If you hate running, don’t force yourself to run. Don’t feel like you need to do yoga, you should find your zen. It is said that the key element for success is practicing activities you love that can create greater consistency and frequency of exercise.
