June 2024 Meeting Recap

Our June Monthly Meeting was truly valuable. If you missed it, here’s a brief recap:

‣ Dr. Joy Katić – Surviving Sezona: Navigating Seasonal Stress

✔️Stress is a natural response, but chronic stress can adversely affect physical, emotional, and behavioral health. It can lead to muscle tension, headaches, a weakened immune system, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, depression, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and substance abuse.

✔️Incorporating evidence-based strategies like exercise, mindfulness, healthy eating, proper sleep, social connections, and effective time management can significantly reduce stress levels.

✔️The Mediterranean lifestyle is particularly effective in combating stress. Local activities and practices that align with scientific research include:

‣Hiking Marjan

‣Swimming in the sea

‣Eating local and seasonal foods

‣Engaging in nature meditation

‣Practicing Progressive Muscle Relaxation

‣Using lavender

‣Embracing café culture

‣Trying acupressure

✔️By understanding stress and implementing these strategies, we can enhance our overall well-being and resilience.
