As many are aware, it’s becoming increasingly common for people to fall ill. Whether it’s from overusing antibiotics or simply not eating right, people are simply more likely to fall victim to everything from the common cold to more serious strains of viruses. If you don’t believe the trend, just ride a public bus. You will quickly be surrounded by coughing, hacking, and the pitiful look of someone suffering from cold symptoms.
But while people may acknowledge the increase in sickness, not many people realize that a very large contributing factor is the increase of stress in our everyday lives. Stress from our jobs combines with stress from our family lives, and we tend to couple that with a lack of sleep and poor eating habits. It’s a surefire recipe for getting sick. Increase your chance of escaping cold season without grabbing the tissue box by investing in a scented candle or two. Place them in your bedroom or line your tub with them. The fragrance will really melt away the stress and help keep you healthy and happy.
