Stress settles in the body for numerous reasons.
One of the main reasons is due to lack of blood and oxygen supply reaching primary nerve, muscle and organ groups. This happens all to often, because we are tensing and holding areas in the body longer than we should. We often help to create tension and stress in the body without even being aware of it, says Rosa Barksdale, a New York based nurse practitioner. Stress happens in the body because we lose touch with our bodies during our busy day. By mentally scanning the body from head to toe daily, you can loosen and replenish stifled body parts quickly.
