My body is so tense. Help?!?!
Question:
My body is so tense. Help?!?
I feel like my muscles are tense and I'm tired all the the time.
I get headaches all the time.
and sometimes my leg swell from all the standing I do over the stove.
and my body aches daily.
no, im not an athlete, but it happens, ya know.
I'm a mother and I run around after my kids all the time.
I just need a natural way to relax.
Can I change my diet to help me?
any techniques I can do?
Answers:
Take a yoga or a pilates class.... that might really help you-they've helped me. A massage might also help, too. It could be stress thet's making you so tense. Try taking a hot bath with real Lavender oil in it. Try massaging your feet, really kneading them-and anything else that's sore. You can also put a tennis ball/racket ball inside a sock and sandwich it between you and the wall. [when I'm especially tense, I use a bouncy ball-this provides for deeper penetration...it does hurt, though!] Press against your sock thingy, and roll it all over your back.
Some foods that may help:
If you're sore, eat tomatos or raisins- they help with the lactic acid, which is what makes you sore.
General healthy food like Spinach,etc.- eat for energy, not pleasure. It may help with your tiredness.
Hope I helped! Good Luck!
