+ Eat well-balanced meals, more whole grains, nuts, fruits and

vegetables. Substitute fruits for desserts.

+ Avoid caffeine. The substance may aggravate anxiety, insomnia,

nervousness and trembling.

+ Reduce refined sugars. Excess sugars cause frequent fluctuation in

blood glucose levels, adding stress to the body's physiological

functioning.

+ Reduce alcohol and drugs. These substances may add to headaches,

swelling, decrease coping mechanisms, and add to depression.

+ Get at least 7 hours of sleep nightly.

+ Spend time each day with at least one relaxation technique -

imagery, daydreaming, prayer, yoga or meditation.

contact is a great way to relieve stress.

Get involved with campus activities. Maintain communication with your family. Take advantage of campus resources and choose acareer path.

Form healthy relationships. Talk to someone about your problems (family

member, friend, college counsellor). Get to know your professors.

habits

21/23

To conclude with this topic, we are making a strong point

that even students face stress in their life. It is not only the work group

which faces stress. As the students are growing citizens of our future city,

they must be guided in a proper way to face the uncertainty and stress

arising out of them. It is necessary to save our future society spoiling fromthe stress factors and bad habits arising because of it. We found different

stressors which cause stress. Our simple survey in the department gave us

the information regarding the stress in P G level and stress faced by them in

their past. Stress is a part of life. Nobody can avoid stress, but they can face

it and handle the situations. In most of the cases, eustress is considered asgood for the students to achieve in their life. There are lots of techniques to

manage the stress and handle the situations. The students who control the

stress will surely get through any hard situations. Instead of avoiding stress,

avoid the bad habits arising of stress.
