Stress Relief Product

The Very Best Stress Relief Product of All

You can call just about anything a stress relief product. There are those little ashtrays full of sand that people call desktop golf, worry stones and stress balls, or herbs and vitamins supplements. One stress relief product soothes away your stress with  tachyon energy.

All of those products might be helpful, but none of them hits the top of the list. What would be at the top of your list? What is the best stress relief product of all time? I think it' s a three-way tie. The very best stress relief product of all is food, bed, or a bath.

Food

This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, because this type of food really doesn' t help with stress relief in the long run. In fact, physiologically, it gives you a sugar rush, and then your blood sugar plummets so that you want more food, and it sends you into a physically stressful cycle.

A nice, hot, juicy hamburger sure feels like it relieves stress, though. So does creamy cheesecake, or smooth, cool vanilla ice cream with hot fudge poured over it - you get my drift. Food sure feels like the best stress relief product of all time.

Bed

This is a bit more realistic, since rest and sleep really do help with stress. So maybe a good bed is the best stress relief product money can buy. It can' t be just any bed, though; it has to be a luxurious bed, like one of those pillow top beds or a sleep number bed, with a down featherbed on top of it that' s about six inches thick and a big pile of down pillows. It' s got to have soft, warm blankets and clean, smooth Egyptian cotton sheets. You just snuggle into all that down and good cotton, relax, and go to sleep. That' s stress relief, and that makes a good bed the best stress relief product you can get.

Bath

Again, any old bath won' t do. To qualify as the best stress relief product, this bath has to be something special. It has to be big and deep, so that you can sink down into warm water. It needs jets to massage your sore muscles, and have lots of aromatherapy candles or maybe some scented bath salts. (Bubble bath and jetted tubs don' t go together very well, so we' ll use bath salts instead.) It could be a colortherapy bathtub (honest, they do sell colortherapy bathtubs), and we' d use soothing colors like blue and green. Play some gentle music and soak your stress away. A bath like that is costly, but we' re talking about a stress relief product here - it' s for your health.
