00:00 In a person's life, there are always trials and tribulations that can cause stress.
00:06 It can come from work, school, family, or personal problems.
00:11 But in every trial we go through, it's important to face it with a right attitude and understanding.
00:19 You're right, Professor.
00:20 So, this Stress Awareness Month, to give us a free element
00:24 on how to handle stressful situations, we will have Dr. Drola Sanchez.
00:31 Good morning and welcome back to Rise and Shine Philippines, Dr. Drola.
00:35 Good morning to all the viewers and listeners of Rise and Shine Philippines.
00:43 Alright, Dr. Lala, this is Fifi together with Rob.
00:46 Do you want to know what is the purpose of Stress Awareness Month and why is it important?
00:53 Hi, Fifi and Rob.
00:54 April is considered as a stress awareness month
01:00 because we want to have attention on the negative impacts of stress in our lives
01:06 because managing stress is very essential for a healthy lifestyle.
01:11 Dr. Ogneña, how do we know if a person or a person we know is stressed?
01:19 What are the symptoms that indicate that we are stressed?
01:24 The symptoms of stress are headaches, chest pain, or body aches.
01:35 You find it hard to concentrate on what you're doing.
01:39 You become forgetful and get angry easily.
01:42 Sometimes, you sweat on your hands or your armpits. You always seem tired and sick.
01:50 Sometimes, you get constipation or chest pain.
01:53 Some of our patients have low libido.
01:57 Alright, Doc. I remember we had this in survey way back in 2017 about stress management.
02:03 You mentioned there are two kinds of stress.
02:05 We have the good stress and the bad stress.
02:08 On both stresses, there are symptoms of stress.
02:15 We want to know, Doc, what are the two kinds of stress and why do we acquire these kinds of stress?
02:23 Fifi, we have the good and bad stress.
02:29 Our brain can sense when we are stressed or when we are facing danger.
02:35 Let's say, we are about to have a dog bite us or we have an unfinished deadline.
02:42 We have a physiological response called fight and flight and freeze.
02:47 That's what happens to our body.
02:50 Our body adapts to the stress that our body is doing.
02:56 But sometimes, when we can't handle it, that's the bad stress.
03:02 Doc, this is a good topic that can be a highlight because of the mental health and all.
03:07 But you know, it's part of our life to have problems, struggles in life.
03:13 So, how can we avoid or at least mitigate the effect of having stress?
03:19 To avoid stress, we need to train our body and mind to be calm.
03:27 By doing little activities like deep breathing, guided meditation, or exercising,
03:34 and eating healthy.
03:37 We should also manage our social media time because most of us forget to read or read social media.
03:47 We spend our time not knowing that we are also stressed.
03:51 And the most important thing is to connect with others.
03:55 Doc Lala, we do exercises on our own at home or in your office.
04:05 What are the effective exercises to de-stress?
04:12 I mentioned in my TikTok video that to manage stress,
04:20 you can do deep breathing exercises, move your hands,
04:28 and also exercise and stretching.
04:30 It can also help to control our nervous system.
04:37 So, by doing little exercises like walking or running,
04:42 or just simple exercise like counting 1 to 10 and breathing deeply.
04:49 Doc, what can we leave a message to our viewers who are experiencing stress or how to overcome it?
05:00 I have an advice for those who are experiencing stress.
05:05 We need to train our body to be calm in times of stress.
05:10 Either good or bad stress.
05:12 So, by doing little activities like exercising, meditating, eating healthy,
05:19 sleeping, avoiding social media,
05:23 and try to talk to your friends or connect with others.
05:28 Alright, on that note, thank you very much for giving us important information
05:33 about how to manage stress.
05:37 Dr. Droles Sanchez, again, thank you so much.
05:40 Thank you, bye bye.
