Health Tip: Relax Daily

To be healthier mentally, emotionally and physically, take time each day to relax.

The American Heart Association suggests these relaxing tips:

• Don't just veg out in front of the TV; engage in relaxation techniques that help clear your mind.
• Try yoga or tai chi, which include slow, mindful movements to help you relax.
• Practice meditation.
• Practice deep breathing techniques by sitting comfortably, eyes closed, envisioning yourself in a peaceful place while taking long, slow, deep breaths.
