A "lazy day" a week can reduce stress and stroke risk

A "lazy day" a week can reduce stress and stroke risk

A quiet day, away from daily commitments and stress, may be the key to better health. This is suggested by studies published in renowned scientific journals such as Stroke and Psychosomatic Medicine, which show that chronic stress is one of the main factors that increase the risk of stroke.

According to research, taking one day a week to rest, without heavy commitments, without pressure and with a focus on relaxation, helps reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone), stabilizes blood pressure and improves heart and brain function.

Mental and physical health experts increasingly encourage the creation of routines that include intentional rest days, emphasizing that well-being comes not only from continuous work, but also from the balance between engagement and relaxation.

In a world that never stops moving, a lazy day may not be a luxury, but a necessity.
