Dr.V's Tips for Managing Stress!
When someone comes in to see me, I often ask them about stress. WHY?!?
Stress is the ENEMY of YOUTHFULNESS. It promotes aging. If left unmanaged, stress literally creates more inflammation in the body. In the skin, it may cause more itching, hair loss, acne, and YES! You get more wrinkles.
We all have stress in our lives. How we REACT to it is they key to whether our stress creates inflammation in our bodies or not. Don’t UNDERESTIMATE STRESS!
