Exercise is healthy, but you don't have to overdo it. To stay healthy adults need at least five days a week (and preferably all days of the week), 30 minutes a day, moderately intensive exercise.

Stress doesn't always have to be negative. Someone can have stress for an important sporting event or a job interview. This is a form of stress that disappears after a short time and the body comes to rest.

In today's society, a lot of people expected. Then you have to deal with prolonged stress, and that is not healthy. A few tips that help prevent prolonged stress:

Take time for relaxation
Clearly define your own limits
Listen to your body
Am not a perfectionist, good is good enough
Try not to want everything at once (do)
Try to discover what energy and what produces energy
Enjoy life
