Stressing about school? Go for a run!

In the summer I had all the time in the world to workout for extensive periods of time and stick to the three days a week workout plan. However, now that school has began and homework keeps piling up this plan has become unrealistic. So to keep up with my health and fitness I have decided to eat healthier. This is by making my own food instead of going out and eating processed food that I always end up regretting. In terms of fitness I have been going out for 10 minute runs around my community park. I do this for once or twice every week. By doing these runs it has really benefited me with stress related headaches. My doctor told me that running for at least 10 minutes will help allow oxygen to reach my brain to circulate the blood flow which will reduce the tension building on my head. This has allowed me to better concentrate on my school work and reducing my headache without having to take any type of medication.
