The physical effects of excessive stress have long been recognized — from heart attacks and strokes to ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders. Continual stress also takes a toll on the body’s immune system, causing frequent colds and other illnesses along with dependency and behavioral health issues.
The Relaxation POD aids in mindfulness and stress reduction. Participants in the original pilot program realized a significant reduction in their stress, lowered blood pressure measures, and lower heart rates.
The POD is now located in the National Life Health and Wellness Center. Feel free to stop by to give it try, set up a schedule for a regular time slot, or just use it when you need to. The POD is available Tuesday through Friday. Contact Karen at ext 7515 for space availability.
