A member asked:

What can police officers do to relieve their stress and keep their body and mind healthy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stay active: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.

I'm a 45 year old woman, in good health. Over the past month or so, I've been losing a lot more hair than normal - equally from all areas of my head. I am definitely under chronic stress from all the changes that are still going on, working from home with 2 small kids, etc. Could this be due to stress or should I be worried? I have been losing more hair than normal, should I be worried?
