Is relaxation really the best way to deal with stress?
Those members of society most prone to stress are also those least likely to be in a position to resolve their problems. Here, relaxation comes into its own; it helps minimise the impact of stressors and research has proven that the benefits can be measured using physical parameters such as blood pressure, pulse rate and stress hormone Cortisol. However, if resolution never occurs, the stress continues, and the longer it goes on, the more likely it is to do damage, relaxation or no relaxation.
