Is it possible that exercise can help with stress levels? Absolutely! Exercise is actually one of the best ways to deal with a stressful life. The pure fact is that most people deal with stress on a daily basis. We are living in a world that has seen drastic change over the last few years, and with that change comes stress.
Stress can often manifest its self in many different ways, and a lot of people manage their stress in different ways as a result.
Some examples of stress manifesting itself in the body include:

- Headaches and nausea
- Lack of or trouble sleeping
- High blood pressure
Some examples of how people manage stress when it presents itself include:
- Excessive drinking
- Binge eating or snacking
- Anger
- Not eating enough or at all
The reality is that stress is a natural part of everyday life. It is our ability to manage it that can so often be a big difference maker when it comes down to our overall health. If you are someone who deals with stress in the above ways, it may be time to rethink your approach to a more positive response.
