How exercise can alleviate debt woes

Tue, 02 Aug 2011

Exercise can be used to alleviate pressures and stress caused by debt, it has been claimed.

While keeping fit and active might not reduce how much a person owes, it is likely to put them in a better frame of mind for tackling the issue, rather than simply worrying about it.

Association for Coaching and Stress Management Society member and therapist Dan Roberts explained that Brits should use cardiovascular exercise to burn off stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline.

Doing this for up to half an hour three times a week should noticeably cut stress levels, he explained.

"It also gives you a shot of endorphins, the body's natural opiates, which make you feel calm and relaxed," the expert claimed.

He added that one of the most practical ways to tackle debt problems is to recognise there is an issue and seek help from a debt charity.

"So many people deal with it by pretending it's not there or burying their head in the sand and obviously, then your debt just gets bigger and bigger," Mr Roberts warned.
