Stress isn’t just “in your head” — when it lingers, it affects your body, mind and medication routines too.

At Essential Health Pharmacy, we see it often: sleepless nights → skipped meds → higher BP → feeling worse.

Here’s three quick things you can do today to ease the pressure:

1. Take 5 minutes to breathe: inhale for 4, hold 2, exhale for 6. Repeat twice.

2. Check your pill-box: are you missing doses because of a busy mind or schedule?

3. Walk it out: even a short stroll outdoors can reset your mind and reduce physical tension.

💬 Want to chat about how your meds might be affected by stress? Or need help choosing the right wellness support?

Stres is nie net “in jou kop” nie – dit beïnvloed jou liggaam, jou bui, en selfs hoe jou medikasie werk.

By Essential Health Apteek sien ons dit daagliks: min slaap → vergeet om pille te neem → hoër bloeddruk → nog meer stres.

Hier is 3 eenvoudige dinge wat jy vandag kan doen om die spanning te verlig:

1. Asem rustig: In vir 4, hou vir 2, uit vir 6. Doen dit twee keer.

2. Kyk na jou medikasie: Slaan jy dosisse oor omdat jy vergeet of oorweldig voel? .

3. Beweeg: Selfs ’n kort stappie buite kan jou liggaam kalmeer en jou kop weer helder maak.

💬 Kom gesels met ons as jy onseker is oor hoe stres jou medikasie of welsyn raak.

If the pressure is starting to build, remember: stress is normal — it’s how you manage it that matters.

Here are a few small ways to keep calm and study smarter:
🌿 Breathe deeply – slow, steady breaths calm your body and clear your thoughts.
🕒 Take short breaks – 5 minutes every hour helps your brain reset and retain more.
💧 Drink enough water – dehydration adds to fatigue and anxiety.
🎶 Find your rhythm – soft music or ambient sounds can help with focus.
😴 Don’t sacrifice sleep – your brain stores information while you rest.

A calm mind learns better. And your local Essential Health Pharmacy is here to help with everything you need to stay balanced this exam season. 💗

As die spanning begin opbou, onthou: stres is normaal — hoe jy dit beheer, is wat saakmaak.

Hier is ’n paar eenvoudige maniere om kalm te bly en slimmer te studeer:
🌿 Asem diep in – stadige, egalige asemhaling help jou liggaam en gedagtes ontspan.
🕒 Neem kort rusbreuke – 5 minute elke uur help jou brein om beter te onthou.
💧 Drink genoeg water – dehidrasie maak jou brein moeg en angstig.
🎶 Vind jou ritme – sagte musiek of agtergrondklanke kan fokus verbeter.
😴 Moenie slaap afskeep nie – jou brein stoor inligting terwyl jy rus.

’n Kalm verstand leer beter. En jou Essential Health Apteek is hier om jou deur die eksamentyd te ondersteun. 💗

Exams are here — and what you eat can make all the difference 🧠✨

Your brain needs steady energy, hydration, and rest to stay sharp through study season.
Here’s how to keep your mind (and mood) exam-ready:

🥑 Eat smart: Choose balanced meals with protein, whole grains, and healthy fats. Think oats, eggs, nuts, yoghurt, or avo toast.
💧 Stay hydrated: Even mild dehydration can cause fatigue and poor focus — keep water or electrolyte drinks nearby.
☕ Watch the caffeine: Too much coffee or energy drinks can make you anxious and disrupt sleep. Try herbal teas instead.
🍎 Snack right: Go for fruit, trail mix, or nut butters — they keep blood sugar stable for longer focus.
😴 Rest & recharge: A 10-minute break or power nap can help information sink in better than an all-nighter.

Small changes add up to big results — your health is the best study partner you’ll ever have. 💗

Eksamens is hier — en wat jy eet maak ’n groot verskil 🧠✨

Jou brein het volgehoue energie, hidrasie en rus nodig om skerp te bly deur eksametyd.
Hier’s hoe jy jou fokus en energie natuurlik kan ondersteun:

🥑 Eet slim: Kies gebalanseerde etes met proteïene, volgraan en gesonde vette. D**k hawermout, eiers, neute, jogurt of avokado-broodjies.
💧 Bly gehidreer: Selfs ligte dehidrasie kan moegheid en swak konsentrasie veroorsaak — hou water of elektrolietdrankies byderhand.
☕ Pasop vir te veel kafeïen: Te veel koffie of energiedrankies kan angs verhoog en slaap ontwrig. Probeer eerder kruietee.
🍎 Kies slim happies: Vars vrugte, neute of neutbotter hou bloedsuiker stabiel vir beter fokus.
😴 Rus en herlaai: ’n Kort breek of vinnige middagslapie help meer as ’n slapelose nag.

Klein veranderinge bring groot verskil — jou gesondheid is jou beste studiemaat. 💗
