Spa Owner, Stephen Dowicz, Shares the Benefits of Therapeutic Relaxation

NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Spa owner Stephen Dowicz, shares the benefits of therapeutic relaxation.

There are many advantages to therapeutic relaxation—both short- and long-term. Physical, emotional, and even spiritual benefits can all be realized through various relaxation methods and techniques. Blood pressure, breathing rate, and heart rate lowers; muscles relax; and people can experience a closer presence to a higher power, force, or energy. Here are some important benefits to consider when trying to reach a state of deep relaxation.

Relaxation boosts immunity. Chronic stress that lasts a significant amount of time can increase the risk of someone catching a cold because stress impedes the body's ability to fight inflammation. Therefore, immune cells are less sensitive to the hormone that shuts off inflammation. Since therapeutic relaxation reduces stress, it results in better overall health.

Relaxation protects the heart. Stress has been known to increase the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, and other heart issues. Regular relaxation will ease these conditions.

Relaxation boosts the memory. Chronic stress is thought to impair the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain that is associated with cognitive analysis, abstract through, and determining appropriate behaviors in specific situations. Stress can also increase the amount of specific brain proteins that have been linked to Alzheimer's. Therapeutic relaxation can counteract stress.

Relaxation lowers the risk of stroke. People who do not handle stress well are more likely to suffer a stroke. Experiencing therapeutic relaxation at regular intervals will reduce their stress levels and reduce their stroke risk.

Relaxation fosters better decision-making. Stress can cause people to not think clearly and rationally, and result in making the wrong choice when faced with important decisions, according to Stephen M. Dowicz. Relax and reduce stress to improve decision-making ability.

Relaxation can help keep one fit. People who experience stress often seek comfort from unhealthy foods, which can pack on the pounds. Prolonged periods of stress can increase cortisol levels—resulting in a heartier appetite and more cravings. Relaxing will help to keep you slim.

Relaxation relieves acne. Experiencing stress can result in the skin producing more oil, which unfortunately can result in acne. Stress can also cause other skin conditions such as psoriasis and rosacea. Those who regularly engage in therapeutic relaxation can improve the condition of their skin.
