How to reduce stress seems to be the million-dollar question these days.  

Studies have shown that chronic stress can lead to more severe illnesses such as cancer.  So, what can we do to start managing stress better? Here are a few tips.

FIND THE SUN

The sun has positive impacts on our mental and physical health, so there is no reason you shouldn't find the sun every day.
