Many of these chemicals also are found in consumer products, but these products have warning labels—such as rat poison packaging. While the public is warned about the danger of the poisons in these products, there is no such warning for the toxins in tobacco smoke. Smoking is the number one cause of preventable disease and death worldwide. Click here to more about what is actually in tobacco products and options for stopping use.

CW Vol 1. Ed. 2 - Stress Management - The Importance of Physical Movement & Deep Breathing

Virtually any form of exercise, from walking to lifting weights, can act as a stress reliever. Moving your body increases endorphins, which are a type of neurotransmitter, or messenger in your body. They attach to your brain’s reward centers and carry signals across your nervous system. Endorphins can make you feel better and put you in a positive state of mind! Deep breathing and medication can also aid in stress management. Click here to see examples of breathing techniques and useful apps that can help with your stress management journey.
