Dealing with stress is something nearly every person can relate to on some level. Internal stress is often caused by anxiety and other mental health issues. Yet the environment around us can also have an effect on our health and well-being. Learn about how to stay healthy during environmental changes, how they can cause problems, and why taking the right supplements can help your body stay in balance.

How to stay healthy during environmental changes

Environmental stressors occur when something in your environment becomes unpredictable or abnormal, and can leave your body struggling to adjust. People feel more safe when they are in a state of balance. When the environment around you feels chaotic it can lead to increased levels of discomfort, anxiety, and exhaustion.

Factors like weather, natural disasters, air quality, pollution, lack of natural light or noisy surroundings tend to be out of your control. Sensory and conceptual stressors like noise or light pollution seem hard to track but studies show that they can and do impact your health. Feeling like you don’t have much control over how these environmental stressors are affecting your health can be frustrating. Luckily, there are supplements and lifestyle changes that can help your body stay in balance.

Increase your activities during the daytime

Natural light elevates the mood and helps maintain a regular internal clock. When you aren’t getting enough natural light, it can start to adversely affect your health. If you work indoors, try working near a window, allowing as much sunlight as possible to enter your space. If you work in an area where sunlight is scarce, try using a natural sunlight UV lamp to help your body get enough vitamin D.

Frequently change your air filters

Your home is full of ingredients found in cleaning supplies, carpeting, adhesives, scented air fresheners, chemicals, and upholstery. Electronic devices and appliances can also contribute to poor air quality in the home. In extreme cases, these environmental pollutants can lead to more serious issues.

Making sure you routinely check and replace old air filters can help you open up the circulation in your home and air purifiers can make sure you’re only breathing clean air. With the outdoor environment containing more and more harmful pollutants, making your indoor space as clean and healthy as possible makes a big difference. And make sure to stay inside on days when the air quality is bad.

Prioritize quiet time once a day

Noise pollution has been shown to affect hearing quality and can cause increased hypersensitivity to sound. Too much noise throughout your day can disturb your ability to sleep, increase stress and cognition issues, and even lead to memory impairment and attention issues.

Wearing earplugs and an eye mask can help you escape from your surroundings for a few minutes and help your body achieve balance. Scheduling quiet time once a day is a good way to combat noise pollution that tends to overwhelm your brain and your body. Just 10 to 15 minutes of mindfulness or meditation has been shown to increase the efficiency of brain pathways that process information coming in from the senses. Boosts in brain activity from mindfulness help you to learn and store information accurately.

Use a supplement that helps create balance

Your body is made up of trillions of cells which are continually working to balance your homeostasis. Healthy cell function and maintenance through redox signaling is like a bio-switch that signals your body to activate genetic pathways to perform beneficial functions like supporting your body’s ability to deal with environmental stressors.
