We all get stressed during the holiday season. Most of us just deal with whatever is currently pressing on us without thinking about what it’s doing to our bodies and brains. But when you are stressed, powerful chemicals, such as adenine, course through your system to help you battle your demons. The holidays can easily make what would normally be a small issue into something much bigger. Luckily, there are several things you can do to lower your stress during the seasonal rush.
Don’t overspend. One of the biggest stressors of the December holidays comes later when we get the January bills.
