Need to lessen your stress levels and stay healthy this winter? Keep these tips from Boiron’s pharmacist Christophe Merville, D. Pharm. in mind:

	Make time for adequate sleep. Even a short nap (less than 20 minutes) can be helpful in keeping your mind alert, your body rested and your health at its optimum.
	Minimize junk food intake. Sugar can increase blood glucose levels and compromise your immune system by decreasing white blood cell activity.
	Cut out caffeine. Caffeine can heighten stress levels. Try drinking chamomile tea, which can help calm the stomach or promote sleep.
	Exercise often. Keeping active helps stimulate the immune system and keep it strong.
	Take a deep breath. Controlled breathing exercises and mindful breathing will help you feel more relaxed if practiced regularly.
	Use a non-sedating medicine.  StressCalm relieves nervousness, irritability and hyperactivity due to stress.* These meltaway tablets address these symptoms without drowsiness and are not habit forming.
