Just For The Health Of It

Welcome to Just for the Health of It, East Brunswick Public Library's prescription for the best Health and Wellness information around town!

 

Take time to relax!

Take time to relax!

Everyone can benefit from learning to relax.

Lower blood pressure, reduced muscle tension and improved concentration are just a few benefits of using relaxation techniques.

Practicing relaxation can be as easy as visualizing yourself in a soothing place or learning an easy breathing exercise.

Click on this link for a Mayo Clinic article about the positive effects of relaxation and learn details on some different techniques: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/relaxation-technique/SR00007

Remember too, there are audio cds available to help guide you through relaxation and meditation.  The Library also hosts a meditation class on Monday evenings.

Enjoy some time to yourself!
